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

Share

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 ;).

Let’s Talk Kaizen: about What Changed, What Didn’t, and The Choice Fujifilm Had to Make

Share

Recently a Fujifilm manager said that they are committed to bring X-H2S autofocus features as much as possible to older models (X-T3/X-T4).

So what, is Kaizen coming back?

Well, Kaizen never left. It was just on semi-pause for a while, and for an excellent reason I might say.

Let me explain.

Fujifilm X-H2S and XF150-600mmF5.6-8 SHIPPING and STOCK CHECK – BHphoto Expects Stock on August 1

Share

Fujifilm X-H2S

The Fujifilm X-H2S is shipping in Europe since a full week already.

BHphoto expects the Fujifilm X-H2S to be available on August 1. But don’t worry, many X-H2S samples will start shipping today.

Also other stores like Adorama and Moment still expect shipping start for today, July 7.

Fujinon XF150-600mm f/5.6-8

AmazonUS has the Fujinon XF150-600mmF5.6-8 in stock here (limited number, shipped and sold by AmazonUS).

For a short time it was listed for sale for $1,199 only (reg. $1,999) and I know some FR-readers grabbed it for that price. It was sold via Camera West, which we will see if they will honor that.

Also in case of the XF150-600mm BHphoto expects it to leave the warehouse on July 15. Adorama has still July 7 as date.

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

Share

  • 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.
