BREAKING: 40MP Fujifilm X-H2 Price Leaked now on FujiRumors

IN STOCK CHECK

Leaking a price months before the actual announcement is definitely a risk for me. Because in my experience Fujifilm can change the price tag until just hours before the final announcement.

And given that the Fujifilm X-H2 40MP will be announced in September, there is still lots of time for Fujifilm to change plans.

However, I will share it anyway, because I have received multiple confirmations from several trusted sources that this is the current price tag. It does not mean it can’t change, but it means that Fujifilm is really doing everything possible to keep that price tag.

According to several highly trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-H2 40MP non-stacked 8K capable camera will cost $1,999.

That’s a crazy good price if you ask me.

Fujifilm X-H2S and X-H2 Sensor Names Leaked (IMX695 and IMX795)

The story is this.

I’ve received the supposed sensor sheets for the X-H2S and X-H2 from an anonymous source.

I was dubious, so I didn’t share them, as we don’t do clickbait here.

The anonymous source saw that FujiRumors could not be tricked into publishing it and after a few days shared the sensor sheet of the X-H2S with the whole world.

The whole world was hungry for clicks, hence published it.

At this point also the clickbait-reluctant FujiRumors had to publish it too, but I warned readers I am dubious about it.

Well, a trusted source wanted to dissipate any doubt, and passed me something, that lead me to write this follow up article.

And today we can also unveil the names for those sensors:

  • Fujifilm X-H2S: IMX695
  • Fujifilm X-H2: IMX795

Get ready, as now fake sensor sheets with those IMX names will start appearing on the web. ;)

Anyway, I know what you think….

You think, “who the heck cares about the name of the sensor! But is that some sort of sheet showing a side-by-side specs comparison of the X-H2S and X-H2 sensor?”

Oh yes, it is a side by side specs comparison. And as you can imagine, I’ve asked for more details to my source and the permission to eventually share it.

Even with Covid on holidays, FujiRumors is always at work for you ;).

Fujifilm Manager: “We Are Committed to Bring X-H2S Autofocus Features as much as Possible to Older Models (X-T3/X-T4)”

  • A limited number of Fujinon XF150-600mm f/5.6-8 lenses is now in stock at Amazon US here (at the moment also shipped and sold by Amazon).

When asked if the X-T4 and X-T3 will profit from the new autofocus algorithm of the Fujifilm X-H2, the service manager for Fujifilm Germany says:

First off we have to say clearly that the Fujifilm X-H2S uses a new stacked sensor and a new processor, who are largely responsible for the fast readout and autofocus speed and at the end allow the new algorithm to realize such an autofocus performance.

This means you can’t bring that kind of performance 1 to 1 to other models like the X-T3 and X-T4, who use an older sensor and processor.

But we are committed to bring new features as much as possible to older models via firmware update

This is not Google translated from German, but translated by myself for you in the most accurate way possible, in order to avoid misunderstandings.

Look, when my Fujifilm X-T4 sees faces in trees and branches, I am sure that this is not a limitation of the sensor and processor, but of the algorithm itself. And that’s true also for the real-time Sony alike autofocus tracking, which disappointed me a bit during the wedding I photographed and that could be significantly improved via firmware update also on older cameras.

That’s why I believe that the new algorithm alone would already give us a huge improvement on older cameras, at least for face and eye detection.

And if there would be also an improvement in zone/area tracking, I could also live without subject/animal tracking on my Fujifilm X-T4, which probably are more complex to implement and really require all the latest and greatest 5th gen stuff.

RUMOR: Fujifilm Working on a New Camera Remote App

We all complaint about it at some point. But our complains might end in a not too distant future.

In fact, a trusted source just told us that Fujifilm is working on a new camera remote App. And by “new” I don’t mean a simple and small software update, but a major change.

And while it’s OK to be cautiously optimistic, I remember the last time Fujifilm gave the App an overhaul it was actually for the worst!

In fact, it was mostly just a stylistic redesign that made things worst, as it passed from a clearly visible white background with black text to a black background with a sometimes small gray and hardly readable text. Fujifilm’s goal was clearly to annoy us even more with their App.

Let’s hope this time it will bring substantial interface improvements as well as be more feature packed.

C’mon Fuji, you can get it right!
