RUMOR: Fujifilm is Working on a THIS Camera
The Rumor
So, we have received a rather intriguing rumor.
According to trusted information, Fujifilm is working on a new compact camera with a 1″ sensor.
I personally had lost hope to see a new 1″ compact camera, even though after the release of the – currently substantially rebated – Fujifilm X half I saw an opportunity for one. So I am happy hear from trusted sources that Fujifilm is working on one.

** Please Get it Right **
But here is where I have to be clear… and you should read carefully.
Our sources only told us that Fujifilm is working on a compact camera with 1″ sensor.
They did not tell us if it will be the successor of a known line, or a new camera, or something super-experimental like the Fujifilm X half.
So all we can do for now is to make random speculations.
So let’s do just that, because it’s fun :).
I guess the most obvious speculation is that Fujifilm could revive any of its 2/3rd sensor cameras with a 1″ sensor. So we are talking about a successor to the Fujifilm X30, Fujifilm XQ2 or even the forgotten Netflix star, the Fujifilm XF1.
I mean, Fujifilm already took the leap to 1-inch with the Fujifilm X half, and in a previous article I wondered whether, now that Fujifilm has this sensor “in the house,” they might seize the opportunity to revive some of their beloved discontinued 2/3-inch sensor cameras, but this time with a 1-inch sensor.
In fact, I even ran a survey asking which camera you’d most like to see come back:

In the survey, the Fujifilm X30 successor came out on top.
But again: everything I know so far is about a “compact camera with 1″sensor“.
