X-Processor Pro

According to our sources, the Fujifilm X-H1 will have the same X-Processor Pro of the Fujifilm X-T2.

This is great news for X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T20, X100F and X-E3 owners, as it gives us hope that “Eterna“, Fujifilm’s new film simulation, will come also to those cameras via Kaizen update.

Let me explain it…

but before that… our X-H group is exploding… you are welcome to join :)

Film Simulation Kaizen Update for X-T2 & Co?

Now, film simulations are a “processor thing“.

This means that cameras featuring an older processor will not support film simulations, that have been introduced in cameras with newer processors. So, for example, the Acros film simulation on the X-T2 & Co cameras with X-Processor Pro, will never be implemented on Fuji cameras with older and slower EXR processors like the X-T1.

But since the X-H1 features the same same X-Processor Pro of the X-T2 and friends, there is hope that “Eterna” will come also to older X-Processor Pro cameras.

Fujifilm X-H1 Rumored Specs

• Despite what Fujifilm managers said about X-mount not being compatible with IBIS, the X-H1 will have IBIS
• IBIS will work with all Fujinon X-mount lenses.
• As opposed to Olympus & Co, IBIS and OIS will not work together… at least currently that’s not possible. Maybe Fujifilm will tweak the firmware in future. But at launch I don’t expect IBIS and OIS to work together.
• Fujifilm’s IBIS solution will not allow the sensor shift multishot
• There will be design changes over the X-T2, such as a better hand grip
• The X-H1 will have the 24MP megapixel X-Trans III sensor
• The release is (currently) scheduled for the first half of 2018
• Shipping in February
• Will cost around $2,000
• New Film simulation Eterna is coming
• IBIS Full sensor readout
• Internal F-Log
• No Exp.Comp dial but top LCD screen like GFX
• Fuji X-T2 Vs. X-H1 Size Comparison
• X-Processor Pro of Fujifilm X-T2 & Co

It’s holiday season, and with the help of our sources, Santa Patrick would like you to have an exciting holiday season full of Fujifilm rumors :)

Hence, there will be rumors. A lot of them, so don’t miss to follow FujiRumors Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

What we have for you today is a size comparison X-H1 Vs. X-T2, brought to you by our beloved and trusted Japanese source.

The green shape is the X-H1 and the white one the X-T2. So quite a size difference. The size of the X-H1 looks like something in between the X-T2 and GFX.

Excited? Then feel free to join our Fujifilm X-H group and stay tuned with the latest rumors… the next one is just around the corner ;)

Oh, and if you think it’s too big, then check out how big one of the best hybrid stills/video cameras out there is, the Panasonic GH5… and it’s a M43 camera – via camera size

On the other hand, the A6500 is small and has IBIS. There are some overheating reports out there, though.

I think Fujifilm chose the bigger size, not only for better heat dissipation, but also for better ergonimics/handling/balance when used with the huge Fujinon MK cine lenses (or any other big Fujinon lens).

We know alerady a lot about the Fujifilm X-H1, but here are a few more titdbits.

The Fujfilm X-H1 will ship in February and have a new film simulation called Eterna. It will also have a top LCD panel like the GFX.

Priced around $2,000.

Fujifilm, What’s Really Next?

Time to make a summary of all the future X-series cameras that we rumored here on FujiRumors.

At the bottom you will find a poll, where you can tell us, which of the 10 rumored Fujifilm products you are looking forward the most.

Rumored Cameras

According to a new source, the Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8 WR will be available mid 2018. Take it with a grain of salt for now. We have already shared the first images of the XF 8-16, XF 200mmF2 and GF 250mmF4 in this Fujirumors article.

And which one should be the next X mount zoom lens after the XF 8-16mm F2.8 WR?

In our gigantic X mount lens poll request to Fujifilm, where over 14,000 of you guys voted, dropping a total of 34,431 preferences, a lens like an XF 16-80mm F4 became the most wanted zoom lens after the XF 8-16mm F2.8.

So, dear Fujifilm, the FujiRumors community worked very hard to collect for you free market investigation data, and we decided for something like a Fujinon XF 16-80… thank you very much for listening :) .

Where is the Fujinon XF18mm F2 MK II

In these days, I’m getting the following question very often via email, and I thought it would be better to dedicate it an own article: why is there no Fujinon XF18mmF2 MK II on Fuji’s new X-mount lens roadmap?

The answer: it is on Fujifilm’s internal roadmap, but not yet on the public one.

Interal Roadmaps Vs. Public Roadmaps

In the past, Fujifilm publicly shared comprehensive long term lens roadmaps. But as you know, Fujifilm tends to change plans rather often, also based on feedback from the community. So it happened that lenses promised in the public roadmap were scrapped or changed (remember how Fuji cancelled the 120mm, which was on the roadmap?)… changes, some people did not like.

So, in order to avoid to annoy some people by roadmap changes, Fujifilm decided to share only those lenses in the public roadmap, that are 100% sure, final and next to be released.

But, of course, long term internal roadmaps still exist, like the G-mount roadmap we have leaked here on FujiRumors back in April 2017, where you can see many GF lenses, including the GF250, which is now officially part of the roadmap since September 2017.

The long rumored XF18mmF2 MK II reminds me a bit to the XF 8-16 rumor story.

We shared the first rumor of the 8-16/2.8 back in May 2016. But it took Fujifilm 17 months (!!!), to finally put it in the roadmap, in September 2017.

So keep in mind, that when you read a lens rumor (or any rumor) here on Fujirumors, it does not mean the lens is just around the corner and we will 100% see it in the next roadmap update. It might take some time to see it become real… if ever ;)
