Fujifilm’s Current IBIS

Some FujiRumors readers have a hard time to believe our rumor, that the Fujifilm X-T3 won’t have IBIS. And you always do good to doubt, since there are undoubtedly lots of fake and wrong rumors surfacing on the web all the time… but not here on FujiRumors ;) .

And yet, despite sharing about 100 rumors a year with a statistic accuracy of 95%+, you should always take also what we write with a grain of salt.

Hence, in order to give some substance to the rumor the X-T3 won’t have IBIS, I decided to give you 2 facts.

FIRST:

SAR ADMIN updated the article with the following 2 notes:
UPDATE: A chinese source just sent me these specs sheets of a rumored new Sony CMOS sensor found on Weibo. I am not sure if they are real but it certainly looks like that.
UPDATED: I edited this post and removed the note about the possibility that this might be used by the future A6700. What we learned now is that this is an APS-C sensor with an aspect ratio of 4:3.

FR ADMIN NOTE: As pointed out by readers, it’s been developed for FA and ITS applications. This is (expensive) BtoB stuff. Not BtoC photographic equipment.

New Sensor

SonyAlphaRumors just received specs about what seems to be the future APS-C sensor made by Sony.

This is of interest for Fujifilm lovers, since Fujifilm buys its sensor from Sony.

However, as we reported here on FujiRumors, the Fujifilm X-T3 will have 26 Megapixel and still be X-Trans. So, if the rumor below is correct, I wouldn’t expect it to be featured on Fujifilm cameras before 2020/2021, maybe something for the Fujifilm X-H2 or Fujifilm X-T4.

Here is what SAR writes:

“A chinese source just sent me these specs sheets of a rumored new Sony CMOS sensor. I don’t know if this is a real deal or some fake specs. So please take it with a grain of salt. But if it’s true this is going to be an AMAZING sensor that might find it’s way into the new A6700!

Key info:

– APS-C size 4:3 aspect ratio
– 31.5 megapixel
– FSI (Front Side illuminated)
– global shutter

This would be the first Front Side illuminated Global Shutter APS-C sensor. Surely enough to make the A6700 super exciting! Here are the spec sheets:

Upcoming Fujfilm Cameras

Fujifilm just registered one more camera, the FF 180004, that has the same radio parts of the Fujifilm X-H1 and X-E3 (registration here – via nokishita)

So we now have three unreleased cameras registered, that should be announced by the end of this summer:

• FF 180002: Camera similar in size to Fujifilm X70. Very likely the Fujifilm XF10. To be announced July 5.
• FF 180003: Camera with bluetooth version 4.2. We reported here.
• FF 180004: Camera with radio parts like Fujifilm X-H1 and X-E3.

The two registered cameras could be Fujifilm GFX 50R and Fujifilm X-T3.

Fujifilm X-T3

Hey guys,

I have a few Fujifilm X-T3 for you today, that you might be very happy about.

According to our sources, the Fujifilm X-T3 will have “better battery performance” and touch screen.

But there is more :)

Fujifilm just registered a new battery charger, the BC-W126S (registration here – via nokishita).

Nokishita does not say for which camera it is, but in combination with today’s rumor about the improved battery performance on the X-T3, the BC-W126S could indeed be the better battery for the Fujifilm X-T3.

If our assumption is correct, then the fact that it is called still “W126S” could mean that the Fujifilm X-T3 will still be compatible with the NP-W126S batteries. However, it could also be a bigger battery. I will verify it now.

So the current rumored Fujifilm X-T3 specs are:

• announcement around photokina (end of September) or shortly before
• no IBIS
• 26MP APS-C X-Trans sensor
• stacked sensor (this one take with a grain of salt for now)
• new X-Processor
• better battery performance
• touch screen
