PetaPixel shared their predictions for 2026. Regarding Fujifilm they say:

PetaPixel says that is not a bold prediction, because they strongly believe it is going to happen: X-TransVI and new processor on X-Pro4 in early 2026
Hope: keep X-Trans VI at 40MP but make it faster
Fujifilm has too many camera lines, which are more based on design changes rather than hardware changes, so they did hold off on X-Peo4 for so long because they need to make a big hardware change to it
Fujifilm could merge X-H2 and X-H2s into one line featuring a faster 40MP sensor
X-H3 will come after the X-Pro4
Fujifilm will make a digital panorama camera stacking 2 APS-C sensors next to each other. It would sell absolute crazy

Thoughts:

There is a lot of talk these days about the DGO sensors:

I think staying in the 40MP range but using a faster sensor readout is a prediction that makes sense. Although I have no info about X-Trans VI so I have no insight to confirm that or not.

The idea of merging the X-H/S lines into one single X-H3 is something we discussed here. There are Pros but also important Cons to consider with such a move, so make sure to read this article.

As far as X-Pro4 goes, the X-Pro is certainly the one camera most in need for a refresh, so it’s understandable that they think it will be next.

So far all PetaPixel predictions seem reasonable.

All but one!

PetaPixel predicts the Fujifilm TX-3 panorama camera in 2026. To my knowledge, if Fujifilm will make one, then it would come in 2028, because 2028 marks the 30th anniversary of the Fujifilm TX-1. But at this point I don’t know if Fujifilm has decided to really make it or not.

What we know for certain will come in 2026 are the Fujifilm X-T6 in the second half and a compact camera with 1″ sensor.

But let us know your predictions in the comments below.
