C’mon Fuji… hurry up and release the X100F… some X-shooters really need the upgrade now :)

Fujifilm X100F – NP-W126s

According to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X100F will take the NP-W126 and the new NP-W126s batteries of Fujifilm’s MILC line-up. The current X100/S/T are using the Fujifilm Fujifilm NP-95 batteries.

I remind you that Fujifilm designed the NP-W126s to optimize the heat-managment.

TESTED: Third Party Fuji Batteries? “Inflated capacity values. Some batteries almost Fraud!”… and the Winner is…?

New Fujifilm NP-W126 MK II Battery will Generate Less Heat (Trusted Source)

Fujifilm NP-W126 MK II

I’ve received the rumor (from trusted source) that the new Fujifilm NP-W126 batteries will handle heat better. Less heat generation allows us to shoot 4K and use the full power of the X-T2 (via “boost” function on the Vertical Grip).

I remind you that Fuji Guy Billy said here, the X-Pro2 can’t shoot 4K, because it can’t dissipate heat properly.

No word about higher capacity batteries.

End of the Rumor

As far as I know (but correct me if I’m wrong), the main sources of heat generation are:

  • Sensor
  • Processor
  • Batteries
  • Writing on SD-cards
  • Screen/EVF

Heat disspiation is a major problem with mirrorless cameras. Fujifilm could solve all problems, by making the X-T2 camera body significantly larger, but most of us love the compact size of the X-series mirroless cameras.

Also, if you want to maximize the power of the X-T2, you can’t really minimize the heat generated by the sensor, processor, EVF refresh rate or SD-card writing process. So the only thing left where Fujifilm could work on in order to solve the heat-issue are the batteries.

New Fujifilm NP-W126 Mark2 Batteries Coming !!! (Trusted + Anonymous Source)

According to a trusted & also an anonymous source, Fujifilm will launch a New Version of the current NP-W126 batteries.

I don’t know if this is the reason, why currently the NP-W126 is marked as Back-Ordered at BHphoto, while AmazonUS just says “usually ships within 1-4 months“. You can still find it on Adorama, but for ridiculous $100!

POLL: Do you want a New Battery for X-Pro2 or keep the same NP-W126 battery of the X-T1 (& CO)?

photo PRO2 BELIEVE_zpshcohlu7k.jpg

We recently discussed the quality of several third party batteries in this post. There are some very good alternatives to the expensive original Fuji batteries, like Patona, Wasabi and the Watson (and more suggestions in the comments). These batteries are small & cheap. I own 4 of them, so I never have to worry about battery life on my X-E2 / X-T1. Problem solved!

But I’ve heard some in the FujiRumors community asking for a new, longer lasting battery for the X-Pro2.

I thought it would be nice to let you vote on this topic. Should the Fuji X-Pro2 feature a new, improved battery, or keep the same Fujifilm NP-W126 battery, so you’ll be able to use the same batteries you already own for the X-T1, X-T10, X-E2 & CO?
