BREAKING: Two Fujifilm X-H2 Cameras Coming Different Megapixel Number (one 40 MP and the Other?)

Black Friday Pages

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.

Fujinon XF200mmF2 is BACK at BHphoto!

A few days ago, we reported how BHphoto pulled off the Fujinon XF200mmF2 from their website and notified customers that it has been discontinued.

I investigated this, and my sources told me that Fujifilm is right now manufacturing XF200mmF2 like crazy due to the $2,000 rebate and they have no plans to discontinue this lens.

Well, it seems that my sources were spot on. In fact, BHphoto just pulled back the dedicated XF200mmF2 page.

So all good. If you want this lens, you can get it with a huge discount now.

Fujinon XF200mmF2 Lens Removed from BHphoto but NOT Discontinued

Fujinon XF200mmF2 – Discounted but Not Discontinued

Ok, let me set something right.

BHphoto has completely removed the Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM WR from their website. You’ll be redirected to a page that says: “The page your requested is no longer available. We have redirected you to a simlar page for your convenience.” I tried to check a google cached version of the page, and when I add the XF200mmF2 to the cart, it then tells me “some item(s) are no longer available at B&H“.

The situation is not much better at other stores. AmazonUS says here “Currently unavailable. We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock” and Adorama says here that it is “Temporarily On Backorder“.

According to a FR-reader, BHphoto is sending out emails telling customers that the XF200mmF2 is discontinued:

B & H has sent me an email saying that the fuji xf 200 mm f2 has been discontinued and they no longer carry it.

So what is happening? Is it really discontinued?

I did investigated this, and I can 100% safely say that the lens is not at all discontinued. So I do not know why BHphoto is not listing the lens anymore.

What I know is that given the worldwide $/€ 2K discount on the XF200mmF2, as to expect, the lens sold out almost everywhere. And I’ve warned you already back in May that such a discount is ridiculous for a lens that was already short on stock before this epic deal.

Now the inevitable happened: it’s out of stock basically everywhere and who knows when Fujifilm will be able to ship current orders.

So, if you are interested in this lens, place your order. You’ll get it at some point. Fujifilm is still manufacturing it and will for a long time. But you better arm yourself with patience.

The XF200mmF2 Problem

The Fujinon XF200mmF2 is arguably one of the very best lenses Fujifilm ever made.

As we reported here, when Fujifilm designed it, they didn’t care about size and price. All they wanted to achieve, was the best image quality and a fast autofocus.

But Fujifilm managers told us that it did not sell well. In fact, given the struggles the XF200mmF2 faced on the market, Fujifilm is wondering if it makes any sense at all to continue to develop and manufacture long prime lenses, that will just result in a loss of money for Fujifilm.

My guess is that people overall tend to prefer zoom lenses that cover that 200mm range, and there are quite some of them in the Fujifilm lineup (and more will come in future).

Sure, none of them is optically on par with the close to perfect Fujinon XF200mmF2, but they are all very decent lenses anyway and deliver an image quality that will be totally satisfactory for the vast majority of Fujifilm X shooters. And they all come for a significantly more affordable price tag.

What About the XF300mmF4 and XF500mmF5.6?

Speaking of long primes…

Back in March 2020, we reported about two Fujinon XF patents showing a Fujinon XF 300mmF4 and Fujinon XF500mmF5.6.

And although I am aware that some folks gave it as 110% certain that those lenses will come in 2021, we warned you in January 2021 that those lenses won’t come in 2021. And quite frankly I have no idea if they will ever come.

We invite you to check out or latest and most updated 2021/2022 rumored Fujifilm products timeline to see what is coming (and what not).

The Future Needs…

So what will the future bring?

Well, you might remember how back in 2019, Fujifilm launched a survey on which lenses we’d like to receive in future.

FujiRumors took 1:1 the lens suggestions Fujifilm made and made this poll out of it that saw 20,000+ people voting on it.

Guess what?

All the long telephoto prime lenses ended up at the very bottom of the ranking, showing that there is simply not enough interest for such lenses.

My take?

Well, I think the XF200mmF2 is maybe not long enough (although with the 1.4x TC it is basically an XF300mmF2.8 lens).

What  I believe could be worth Fuji’s R&D and become much more successful is a Fujinon XF400mmF4 lens. And with 1.4x TC you’d have a XF560mmF5.6 lens. That lens, I believe, could guarantee Fujifilm decent sales.

So, let’s hope Fujifilm won’t give up on telephoto prime lenses. They are needed. For a niche, sure, but definitely needed.

The Truth about the Fujinon GF56mm f/5.6 R WR Rumors!

Hey you!

Yes, you, the person reading these few lines.

I know you are busy with your life. You have your stuff to get done. You have your ups and downs. Your family to take care of, your friends to hang out with, your latest favorite TV series to watch.

Your time is the most valuable thing you have, I am aware of that.

And if I, Patrick, decide to ask for your time and attention, then I better also deserve it.

How?

By working hard and honestly.

That’s why we do not take shortcuts here on FujiRumors.

What are the shortcuts?

Well, the shortcut is sharing fake rumors.

And today I see myself forced to ask for your time to share a warning.

I have read a fake rumor that Fujifilm will launch a Fujinon GF 56mm f/5.6 lens.

Of course this is a 100% fake rumor (trust me, I know what I talk about), and it serves one goal only: find a fast and cheap way to get your attention, your time and your money.

And little it matters if clickbait sites mislead their readers and disrespect their community by sharing fakes. All they want is traffic and money. Whatever is needed to achieve that, they’ll do it.

But here on FujiRumors we respect and love this whole community way too much to take such cheap shortcuts.

What will really come? Well, read FujiRumors to find it out ;).

Time is ticking. The article is over. You know the truth.

Make good use of the time you’ve left today. Maybe take some pictures. Personally, I’ll stay at home, and will use it playing with my son while waiting for my Fujifilm GFX100S to be delivered. Can’t think of a better day for me :).

Vintage Battle: Nikon Z fc Retro-Styled APS-C Camera Coming to Challenge Fujifilm

Finally!

Finally Fujifilm is getting a competitor also in the retro-styled mirrorless vintage APS-C camera segment, which so far was dominated by Fujifilm as it had almost no competitors, except for some lovely MFT cameras and of course the expensive Leica offerings.

This time the “attack” on Fujifilm comes from Nikon, which is launching the Nikon Z fc APS-C camera, sort of the mirrorless version of the Nikon DF.

A quick overview and video on the Nikon Z fc can be read and seen here.

While this might put Fujifilm a bit under pressure, it is undeniable that for us customers competition is a great thing.

My hope is that the Nikon Z fc will be a huge success, so that Fujifilm will see itself forced to maybe even offer a retro styled Fujifilm GFX 100 Megapixel camera as soon as possible.

It will be interesting to see how serious Nikon will be with its vintage concept, and if they will offer several vintage bodies, like Fujifilm is doing with the X-T line, X-Pro, X-E and X100 line.

Still a strength of retro Fujifilm compared to the new Nikon Z fc are the various vintage film simulations, that will give not only to the cameras but also to the images they produce a nice nostalgic look out of the box.
