Fujifilm X-T4 Dynamic Range Data (vs X-T3, X-Pro3)

Share

Photons to Photos has published its Fujifilm X-T4 dynamic range measurement data.

The Fujifilm X-T4 basically performs identical to the X-T3. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 seems to be superior, but as Blill Claff from PTP explained to us:

The X-Pro3 appears to have improved PDR but it is an illusion.

It’s well known that Fuji implements the ISO setting in an unusual way.
In this case they have given ISO 320 to ISO 12800 an addition 1 stop boost.

Fuji uses a proprietary Exif tag called “Raw Exposure Bias” to indicate how much they have shifted the raw data from “standard”.

Adjusted in Excel for Raw Exposure Bias we see that the X-Pro3 and X-T3 are essentially identical. (They shift to dual conversion gain at a slightly different point).

Sigma and Samyang Fujifilm X Mount Autofocus Lenses Reviews

Share

Since Fujifilm opened its lens protocols to third party manufacturers, lots have happened rather quickly in terms of autofocus lenses for the X system.

So today I decided to dedicate a roundup to the latest X mount autofocus additions to the system, the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF and the Sigma X mount trinity.

Overall I can say that none can match the very latest releases coming from Fujifilm (with the XF56mmF1.2 getting an overall performance boost in 2022, too).

But it is also true that price matters and the new third party AF lenses definitely offer a fine performance for the price.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-H2 coming with New 26 Megapixel Sensor

Share

When we told you about the Fujifilm X-H2 coming with a 26 megapixel sensor, most of us speculated that it would be the current 26 MP X-Trans IV sensor, but used in combination with a new processor it would perform better.

And I get it, I also thought this could be an option, especially considering that Fujifilm did the exact same thing with the Fujifilm GFX50SII: use the old sensor but a new processor to improve performance.

But if you read again the article I wrote last year in regards to this rumor, I literally also wrote:

It 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.

And according to our sources this is exactly what is going to happen.

In fact, I have been told the the 26MP sensor on the Fujifilm X-H2 will be a “new sensor”.

And remember, there will be also a 40MP Fujifilm X-H2, and that one is (obviously) new, too.

I have no doubts my sources are 100% accurate, and you should not doubt them either ;).

Just stay tuned on FujiRumors to know more details soon.

It’s going to get very wild with rumors now ;).
