Fujifilm X-T2s

UPDATE: Fujifilm changed the name from X-T2s to X-H1. All rumored specs remain the same

Ok guys… here is another nice rumor for you.

I would like to inform you that the successor of the Fujifilm X-T2 will be called Fujifilm X-T2s ♥.

At this point, some of you might remember, when I once said that Fujifilm will release an X-Pro1s, which evidently never materialized. Fujifilm even had working prototypes of it, as they officially showed here, but then they scratched the concept in the last second, skipped it, and waited for the X-Pro2 to be ready.

At this stage, though, I don’t think the X-T2s will have the same fate of the X-Pro1s. Fujifilm seems very convinced of the project, and this makes me very confident to share it here on FujiRumors.

Now, I like to imagine many of you guys somewhere on holidays, relaxing with a beer on a beach or admiring a great panorama from the top of a mountain. And I really do not want to disturb you too much.

But I have the feeling that it could be worth to tune into FujiRumors now and then also from your holidays in the next couple of weeks. Sure, I’m aware that no rumor on earth can beat a good beer on the beach, but I’m working hard to try to give you a little fun time also here on FujiRumors ;) .

Fuji Guys Fujifilm X-T20 Vs. X-T2, Which One Should you Buy?

Share

The Fuji Guys compare the Fujifilm X-T20 vs the X-T2.

If you are new to the Fujifilm world, and would like to get a basic overview over the main differences between these two cameras, then you might find this video useful.

Right at the beginning, Billy says that the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T20 are their most popular cameras (but we know the Fujifilm X-E3 will change that :) )

The video was shot in 4K with the Fujifilm X-T20 (4K with half line skipping, so no full resolution, but also no crop). Oh, and Billy, keep up your fight with Japan for 4K in X-Pro2 :) . You can check out the full Fuji Guys video on youtube here.

And then I Thought: “Stop Waiting for the X-E3, and get the X-T2/Zero (X-T20)” … Did Fujifilm Hit the Sweet Spot with the X-T20?

Fujifilm X-E3: No Tilt Screen (Poll – Dealbreaker?)

Share

Ok… despite knowing that Fujifilm can change plans rather quickly, I feel pretty confident to announce, that the Fujifilm X-E3 will not have a tilt screen.

So, Fujifilm remains loyal to their philosophy to keep the tilt screen out of their rangefinder styled cameras.

My tilt-experience?

I might use the tilt-screen on my Fujifilm X-T1 maybe only in 5% of the images I take, but in those 5% tilting the screen makes my life a lot easier. So overall a tilt screen on the X-E3 would be something “nice to have” for me.

Based on the feedback of you guys in previous X-E3 rumors, and especially based on Jano’s huge work and X-E3 poll here , there are other (more or less) “nice to have” features… and of course some won’t be part of the Fujifilm X-E3:

  • dual UHS-II SD-card slot
  • weather sealing
  • 4K video
  • tilt screen
  • touch screen
  • AF-C Custom Settings presets
  • Bigger EVF
  • Dual-function ISO Dial
  • Joystick
  • Front Command Dial
  • IBIS

Jano has already made a brilliant work with his X-E3 polls, so all you have to do is to check out this article, where he shares the detailed X-E3 statistics as well as his evaluation of the results.

Here on FR today, we will only quickly focus on the tilt screen. Would the lack of it be a dealbreaker for you? Feel free to vote the poll below.

Fujifilm X-E3 without Tilt Screen... dealbreaker?

Accessories Roundup

Here is a mini accessories roundup for you guys. I hope you can find something of interest for you amongst it :-)

Shameless use of FujiRumors (and your time) for a personal tripod help request

2 weeks ago I travelled for the first time 7 days (through South Italy) without a tripod. I sold mine to a friend (whom I also convinced to purchase a Fujifilm X-T20).

As you can see me here, I sometimes missed my old tripod (even though I had the XF 18-135 with an insane OIS – the other lenses I brought with me where the 35/1.4 and 12 Samyang) . Now I’m looking for a compact and light carbon travel tripod to replace it… recommendations welcome in the comments.

My Top Tripod Criteria:

  • No super expensive tripods: I’m a low-budget backpack traveller. So I often travel in cheap trains and busses, sleep in hostel dormitories and so forth. I don’t want to have a $1000 Gitzo tripod in my bag. I’d be afraid to leave my bag alone even to go to the toilet, scared it gets stolen. I’m ready to pay a fair price for a good tripod, but no super expensive options.
  • Compact: Damn… so it happens also to me… I’m getting older. And I now appreciate every space and weight I can safe while travelling. So only compact solutions will be considered for my pruchase (and since I travel with a light mirrorless camera and small lenses, it does not have to be the sturdiest tripod on earth).

I read the techradar article I’ve linked above… but it would be great if you would list your favorite light carbon fiber tripod in the comments below.

TheCameraStore TV Fujifilm GFX 50s Review Online… and They Mention the “Quite Light and Compact” GF 45mm F2.8

Share

Finally… TheCameraStore published their Fujifilm GFX 50s review from Tokyo… and it seems they like the GFX a lot (unlike the Hasselblad X1D). Commercial photographer Brent Taylor joins for the last part of the review. He uses the Fujifilm GFX 50s on assignment and likes it so much, that at the end he says: “I’m very impressed… switching to Fuji”

Here are some tidbits:

  • comfortable handling and controls
  • they mention the “quite light and compact” GF 45mm F2.8 (min. 5:25)… which is currently on the roadmap and coming soon. So they might have seen (and maybe tested) a Beta version of it in Japan… or maybe they just assume it will be as light and compact as the GF 63
  • in daylight, single focus is very quick and accurate. In low light, AF slows down, but still very accurate. Continous AF too slow and hunts.
  • Fujinon glass beautiful bokeh
  • GFX shoots incredible stable photos (low shutter vibration). You can get very sharp shots at slow shutter speeds. Good handheld camera, but he also says, that to take the most out of the big sensor it in low light, you better use a tripod.
  • touch screen is responsive
  • focal plane shutter is a big advantage. You can adapt a lot of other glass
  • the design is practical, looks professional, but lacks of classic beautiful retro design
  • positively surprised by the batter life
  • You can see them using Godox flash (which I remind you can do HSS and TTL)
  • Colors really good
  • “lot’s of meat in the files” – lot’s of dynamic range, sharpness etc.
  • for street and travel, camera is too big and heavy (although considering it’s size, it’s a light camera)
