Fujifilm’s New Camera Coming with New Sensor Size (Never Used Before by Fujifilm)
We told you that Fujifilm will launch an all new camera, and that that camera will have an all new sensor.
So speculations arose about maybe a 50MP BSI sensor for the GFX system, or a stacked 40MP sensor, a monochrome sensor and what not.
But apparently we have to think different, because our sources would like me to clarify that it will feature a sensor size never used by Fujifilm so far on any of their digital cameras.
So could it be the rumored XPan panorama sensor for the TX-3? That would definitely have a new sensor size.
But nope, it’s also not that. The Fujifilm TX-3 is actually still debated inside Fujifilm and would eventually make its appearance earliest in 2028 for the reasons we explained here.
For your reference, here are the sensors used so far by Fujifilm (and hence won’t be used by this camera):
- it’s does not have a Medium Format GFX sensor
- it does not have an APS-C sensor
- it does not have have a 2/3-inch sensor (Fujifilm X30, X20, X10)
- none of the smaller sensors that we find in Fujifilm Finepix cameras
Oh, that’s trusted stuff, so you can put aside doubts and perplexities and just enjoy guessing what Fujifilm might have in store for us.
Speaking of fun, I’ll include a survey below with various sensor size options—feel free to submit your guess in the poll.
