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.
