EXCLUSIVE: Fujifilm X-H2 with X-Trans or Bayer? The Answer Now on FujiRumors!

Who said the X-H line is dead? ;)

Well, certainly not FujiRumors, who warned you from all the fake X-H line is dead “rumors” already back in 2018.

The Fujifilm X-H line is not dead at all. In fact, the Fujifilm X-H2 will come, and FujiRumors has already shared a few rumors about it:

But one question I’ve often received remained unanswered (until today): will the Fujifilm X-H2 have an X-Trans sensor or a Bayer sensor?

I know this is such a divisive topic in the Fujifilm community, that no matter which choice Fujifilm makes, some will be inevitably disappointed whereas others will be happy. And I get it, as both color filter arrays have their strengths and weaknesses, as we explain here.

But now it’s time for you to know.

The Fujifilm X-H2 will feature a new X-Trans sensor.

Hold on tight guys, as more rumors will come about the Fujifilm X-H2.

But don’t get too distracted by the X-H2, as on September 2 at 9AM New York Time there will be huge Fujifilm announcements!

We will cover it all live and non stop here on fujirumors.com. And here is what you can expect:

Keep an eye on our dedicated X and GFX rumor section for the latest updates.

Fujifilm GFX50SII Marketing Materials to be Released September 2/3

Back in May, Nokishita spotted that the marketing material (suer manual, pictures, etc) for the FF210001 camera will be released on August 27.

However, we immediately told you that nothing will happen on August 27. Later on we told you it will happen on September 2.

Now the date for the release of the materials has been changed at the FCC [located in USA] to September 3 and Nokishita noticed this and writes:

The release date of FCC materials such as the appearance and manuals of Fujifilm “FF210001” has been changed to September 3, 2021. It should be announced by 23:59 on September 2nd

There will be a Fujifilm X summit. It has not yet been announced, but Fujifilm will do it shortly. Of course we will live stream the event here on FujiRumors.

There won’t be “just” the Fujifilm GFX50SII. Down below a list of what we can expect:

  • Fujifilm GFX50SII
  • Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6
  • Fujifilm X-T30II
  • Fujinon XF23mm F1.4 II
  • Fujinon XF33mm F1.4
  • to be continued… ?

Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 to Cost $999 (Lens Only) and $500 (Kit Price)

According to information we have received, the upcoming Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 will cost $999. However, you can get it for $500 if purchased in kit with a GFX body.

This makes it the most affordable G mount lens along with probably the next lens I’ll buy for my GFX100S, the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5.

And you have no idea how tempted I am by the GF50mmF3.5. Just don’t tell my wife about it ;).

To Be Announced on September 2

Fujifilm GFX50SII Rumor Recap

Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6

Initial Specs Comparison: Fujifilm GFX50SII vs GFX100S vs GFX50S

Given the several rumors we have already shared about the upcoming Fujifilm GFX50SII, I thought we can share an initial specs comparison with the Fujifilm GFX100S and the original Fujifilm GFX50S.

Totally missing so far are the video specs, but I somehow have the feeling that those of you interested in the Fujifilm GFX50SII, don’t really have “video features” as one of your priorities.

Also, down below the list of products that (so far) we expect to be announced on September 2:

Fujifilm GFX100S with Tamron 150-600 using Fringer EF-GFX Smart Autofocus Adapter [VIDEO]

As we reported already, Fringer will officially release the Fringer EF-GFX smart autofocus adapter in October.

Now Fringer shared a video, showing the performance of the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC G2 on the Fujifilm GFX100S.

EISA Awards 2021/22: Fujifilm GFX100S and X-S10 Snap Awards and Everybody Else Too

EISA has assigned awards to everybody making up categories that are hard to distinguish, so that lots of companies will pay lots of money for their EISA logo license to be used in future.

And if they don’t pay, next year those companies will be “punished” by not receiving awards, leading to tons of negative press.

Fujifilm once refused to pay for the TIPA logo license and they were punished the following year by not receiving any award for their digital cameras. That lead to tons of negative press, so Fujifilm decided to pay TIPA again lots of money.

How much?

For example, using the RedDot award logo for one product and one year costs up to $6,000. I can’t think at an easier way to make money than selling awards.

After this reality check, let’s see who “won” this year.

Fujinon Patents for XF 90mm F1.6 and XF 77mm F1.6 Spotted

The Japanese website asobinet spotted a couple of Fujifilm patents, but some of them are old and we shared them back in 2020 already.

Some belong to lenses we already got or that Fujifilm planed at some point but canceled:

The new ones are the following:

  • Fujinon XF 90mm F1.6
  • Fujinon XF 77mm F1.6

You know what I think about patents.

Recently a patent has been spotted about an XF35mmF1.4 MKII, which won’t come. There was the patent about the XF16-55mmF2.8 OIS, which also won’t come. Back in March 2020 we reported about two Fujifilm patents showing a Fujinon XF300mmF4 and Fujinon XF500mmF5.6. But also here we told you not to expect any of these lenses in the near future.

And then there were the patents about… well, you got the point!

So, FujiRumors is here to advice you to take every patent with a grain of salt. 99% of those never see the light of the day.
