I’ve recently shared an article, where I did clarify that some of the “rumors” out there attributed on forums to FujiRumors are actually not rumors, but speculations by forum members who misread or misunderstood or misinterpreted what I actually wrote.

This does not mean that the speculations those guys make are wrong. On the contrary, as I wrote here, some of them make a whole lot of sense and if I should place a bet, I’d specualate the same way.

But until my trusted sources can’t confirm them, they remain speculations.

And since they are speculations, I thought it could be fun to let you vote on those in the surveys down below. What do you think will turn out to be true?

I start reading in forums stuff that apparently I’ve claimed about the Fujifilm X-H2 cameras, but in truth I never did.

The reason this happens are mainly two:

• Some guys misinterpret my personal speculations for a rumor coming from a source
• Some guys read articles on a fly and skip some important parts of the rumor (or read only the headline)

Maybe all the “rumors” attributed to me (but that I’ve never shared) will turn out to be true indeed. And I wouldn’t be surprised if many did. But in any case I felt the need to clarify this, otherwise, if some of the stuff shared below does not turn out to be correct, people will start attacking me for sharing fake rumors and clickbait.

1. CLAIM: FujiRumors said that Fujifilm will launch two X-H2 cameras simultaneously
   I don’t know if both X-H2 cameras will be launched on the same day, or just in the same year (2022).
2. CLAIM: FujiRumors said there will be one video centric X-H2 and a stills oriented X-H2 with different ergonomics
   I don’t know if both X-H2 cameras will have the same camera body or if there will be (small or big) ergonomic differences.
3. CLAIM: FujiRumors said the X-H2 will be launched in early 2022
   I don’t know if the X-H2 will be launched in early 2022. FujiRumors has not given any time frame until now (except for a generic “2022”). Sure, looking back at the last 10 years, the main camera announcements happened between January and March. The reason is simple: the Japanese fiscal year ends on March 31 and Fujifilm wants to show up at investors with better sale figures by launching and selling cameras before the fiscal year ends. So to anyone who guesses for “early 2022” I can understand where this guess comes from and it makes a whole lot of sense. But just to be clear, so far our sources have not confirmed that (which does not mean it could not be true)
4. CLAIM: FujiRumors said both X-H2 cameras will cost below $2,500
   I don’t know if both X-H2 cameras will cost sub $2,500 (one should, but if both will remains open).
5. CLAIM: FujiRumors said there will be a 40 MP X-H2 with stacked sensor
   Fujifilm said they will launch a stacked APS-C sensor in 2022. FujiRumors said there will be a 26MP and a 40MP X-H2 camera in 2022. But I don’t know if both these cameras will have a stacked sensor, or only 1 camera. Or none, and the stacked sensor will be reserved for something else.
6. CLAIM: FujiRumors said one X-H2 will have the existing 26MP X-Trans IV sensor (currently in use on X-T4)
   No I did not say that. I said that it will have a 26MP sensor, but I don’t know if it will be an X-Trans IV sensor (maybe combined with new processor to take the most out of it), or a new 26MP sensor.
7. CLAIM: FujiRumors said there will be one X-H2 with X-Trans sensor and one with Bayer sensor
   I did indeed write this, but it was not as a rumor! It was a mere speculation of mine. Please read again the original article here. I was just trying to figure out what the difference between the two X-H2 cameras could be, and one that came to my mind was the Bayer/X-Trans versions. But that was never a rumor. It could make sense, as Bayer has its advantages too (more affordable, easier to get features like pixel shift, less power hungry, less overheating etc – read here). But so far no source told me I am right (or wrong) with my speculation.
8. CLAIM: Both Fujifilm X-H2 cameras will feature an updated processor
   Also in this case, this is something I’ve never claimed. I’ve speculated on a personal level that both could have the same processor, but no source has given me this information yet. And until that happens (that a source shares more details), all the options remain open.
9. CLAIM: FujiRumors said in 2019 that the X-H line has been canceled and now cowardly backpedals his fake 2019 rumor hoping we will forget about it
   There was this fake rumor circulating and it created such a buzz that it ended up also on big photography news sites. But it was not shared by FujiRumors. On the contrary, just minutes after the fake rumor was shared I warned you all that it’s a fake and that the X-H2 will surely come (it will just need more time). On FujiRumors we do not do fake rumors that serve the only purpose to get your attention, traffic and money. We respect you, your time and your trust and therefore will never go down the fake rumor road.
10. CLAIM: FujiRumors said the X-H2 will come in 2020, then said it will come in 2021, then said it will come in 2022. Can we still trust this guy?
    I’ve read this accusation on an Italian forum. So let’s clarify that this is another case of websites (and YouTube channels) having no clue just continuously announcing the imminent arrival of the X-H2 just to make some traffic. Here on FujiRumors we told you back in May 2019 (!!!) that the X-H2 will come, but not in 2020. And once 2020 was over, we told you in May 2021 that there won’t be an X-H2 not even in 2021*. The first time indication we gave on the X-H2 was on March 2021, when we told you the X-H2 will come in 2022.

So, until any of the above is confirmed (or debunked) by my sources, they remain mere speculations. Some of them very reasonable speculations, but still, just speculations.

Look guys, here on FujiRumors the Fujifilm X-H2 marathon just started. So definitely give FR a look every now and then to see if something new goes online. And it will… oh boy it will ;).

Look guys, this is trusted stuff. Solid and reliable. And 100% true. Believe it or not. It’s going to happen.

The Fujifilm X-H line has been canceled!!! Axed! Forever!!!

Nah, just kidding… we don’t do fake rumors here ;).

So let’s get serious and tell you exactly what is going to happen.

FujiRumors told you that there will be two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras and that they will have a different megapixel number.

According to our sources, one will sport a high resolution 40 megapixel sensor (not 43 megapixel as many speculate based on available Sony sensors).

And what about the other Fujifilm X-H2?

Well, we did get additional information from our sources. Multiple trusted sources. And they told us that the second Fujifilm X-H2 camera will have 26 megapixel.

I know what you want to know now.

You want to know if it will be the same 26 megapixel sensor we have in current X series cameras such as the Fujifilm X-T4 or if it will be a new 26 Megapixel sensor.

At this point I can’t answer this question.

Some of you might remember that I once said the Fujifilm X-E4 would be the last X-Trans IV 26 Megapixel camera. But evidently I was wrong, as we got the Fujifilm X-T30II (although that’s basically just an X-T30 on firmware steroids and new LCD). So I might well be wrong again?

Let’s see the two options I see for now:

1. Fujifilm decided to make a high resolution and more expensive Fujifilm X-H2 and offer at the same time a much more affordable version of the X-H2 using the proven and trusted X-Trans IV BSI 26 Megapixel sensor.
2. Fujifilm will use a new 26 Megapixel sensor

My opinion on both options:

1. Fujifilm could have decided to use the X-Trans IV sensor of the X-T4, but combine it with the new processor on the X-H2 to squeeze the most out of the X-Trans IV sensor. That would be siimilar to what they did with the Fujifilm GFX50SII, where they used the old sensor of the original GFX50S, but combined with the newer processor of the GFX100S Fujifilm was able to take more out of it (faster autofocus speed, more film simulations etc.)
2. This would be very atypical for Fujifilm, to launch in one year (2022) two completely new higher-end APS-C sensors. But just because Fujifilm never did it before, it does not mean it can’t happen with the Fujifilm X-H2.

Which one do you consider more likely? Feel free to vote the survey down below.

If you follow FujiRumors regularly then you’ll already know that there will be two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras and both will feature a different sensor.

You will also know that one of them will feature a 40 megapixel sensor.

So what about the other one? I did tell you previously that my priority is to find out the answer to the following questions:

• Will both X-H2 cameras have a 40 Megapixel sensor? (maybe an X-Trans and a Bayer version)?
• Will both X-H2 cameras have a stacked sensor?
• Will both X-H2 cameras have an X-Trans sensor?

Well, a trusted source now reached out to us and told FujiRumors that there will be indeed a 40 megapixel Fujifilm X-H2 and that the other Fujifilm X-H2 will have a different megapixel number (not 40MP).

Look guys, I know all this is hard to believe.

In fact, since today Fujifilm always took one sensor and squeezed it for 2 or 3 years into all possible X series bodies. And this is why I understand if many of you are skeptical about these rumors.

But that’s what my sources tell me, and as I do since a decade of blogging now, I simply trust them blindly.

Calls with sources are scheduled already. So expect updates soon.

Here is what FujiRumors said in the last months regarding the sensor inside the Fujifilm X-H2:

• there will be two X-H2
• they will have different sensors
• at least one of them will be X-Trans
• at least one of them will have 40 megapixel

FujiRumors has never rumored nor has any information about a stacked sensor. That’s something actually Fujifilm told us here. And Fujifilm also confirmed that X-Trans will continue.

So the top 3 questions I will try to answer for you as soon as possible are:

1. will both X-H2 cameras have 40 MP?
2. will both X-H2 cameras have X-Trans?
3. will both X-H2 cameras have a stacked sensor?

Just for fun, down below a little survey where you can drop your own guess ;).

For your convenience, down below is the list of X-H2 rumors.

• Fujifilm X-H2 coming 2022
• Fujifilm X-H2 will shoot 8K DCI/UHD

Fujifilm X-H2

Recently I wrote an article, where I said that Fujifilm should do it a bit like Sony, and offer different sensors in the same camera.

However, I also said that I don’t believe that will happen, as at the recent X summit, Fujifilm has teased one (1) new sensor coming, not two.

But well, I was wrong.

A trusted source reached out to us and told me that yes, there will be indeed two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras coming as FujiRumors already told, but the source added that the two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras will feature two “different” sensors.

No more details given to me for now.

So I guess the question now is, what does “different sensors” mean?

FujiRumors already told you that there will be a 40 megapixel sensor in the Fujifilm X-H2. So at least in one of them (if not both) will come with 40 Megapixel.

Maybe there will there be one 40 megapixel X-Trans and one 40 megapixel Bayer sensor Fujifilm X-H2? With X-Trans for better image quality and the Bayer sensor for a more affordable X-H2 version? We have explained the X-Trans/Bayer difference recently here.

Or will there be two completely different sensors? With different megapixel or even different sensor technologies?

Again, keep in mind that all Fujifilm announced is one (1) new BSI stacked X-Trans sensor.

So the options I see are these:

• Fujifilm is hiding something from us
• FujiRumors is wrong and there will be just one X-H2 with one sensor
• there will be two X-H2 cameras and both will feature a stacked BSI sensor

Another question: will both Fujifilm X-H2 have the identical body, or will the body be a bit different? Maybe one more video-centric body with external fan and selfie screen and one more photo-centric body with 3-way tilt screen and more compact?

It happens rarely, but I admit I am a bit confused at this point.
