Fujifilm X-T6, X-Pro4, X-H3, X100VII with 46 Megapixel Sensor? – Speculation Based on Fujifilm GFX180


We told you that there will be a Fujifilm GFX180. it won’t happen very  soon, but it will come at some point.

And the Fujifilm GFX180 might even tell us more about the future of the Fujifilm APS-C system and the X-Trans 6 sensor.

Why?

Well, Fujifilm usually uses the same sensor for the X system and GFX system, with the only difference that the GFX sensor is about 4 times bigger.

This means:

  • 26MP APS-C sensor (X-S20 & Co) = 102MP on GFX (GFX100S & Co)

Now, if we were to apply the same logic to the rumored Fujifilm GFX180 sensor, then we would get this

  • 180MP on GFX = about 45.8MP on APS-C

This means that I would not be surprised if the Fujifilm X-T6, but also the Fujifilm X-Pro4, the Fujifilm X-T60, the Fujifilm X-E6, Fujifilm X100VI and the Fujifilm X-H3 would come with a 46 megapixel sensor.

This means a slight increase in resolution for APS-C, which is definitely welcome.

Other questions remain open, with the main one being if it will be a DGO or DCG sensor.

Regarding the “more megapixel are bad for low light photography”, make sure this read this debunking article.

To Split, or Not to Split: Should Fujifilm Merge the X-H2 and X-H2S Into One X-H3?

Merging the Lines?

I recently asked you whether you’d prefer a DGO or DCG sensor on future Fujifilm cameras.

The results of the survey is here.

But while reading through the comments, something else caught my attention. FR-reader TammyLieJohnes wrote:

But I believe there will be just one Fujifilm X-H3 camera, no ‘S’ and ‘non-S’ model.
It’s going to be stacked 40MP sensor, I hope DCG so we don’t loose so much on e-shutter

That comment raises an interesting and very relevant question: should Fujifilm merge the X-H line into a single flagship model?

Fujifilm X-T6 and X-H3 with 80 Megapixel? Let’s Talk About it!

 

Over the past year, I’ve been flooded with emails asking if the 80-megapixel Fujifilm X-Trans VI sensor rumor could be true.

And for more than I year now I’ve chosen to stay silent on FujiRumors and replied to each email individually.

But recently yet another message arrived asking the same question.

So, after 12+ months of staying quiet and not writing a single word about it, I think it’s finally time to share my take on this “rumor” publicly. And from now on, whoever asks me about it, will get a link to this post.

The question is: will the Fujifilm X-T6, X-H3, X-E6, or X-Pro4 really have 80 megapixels?

Here’s what actually happened.

Sorry, But the Fujifilm X-T6, X-Pro4, X-H3 (and Friends) Won’t Arrive in 2025

A few months ago, we estimated—based on Fujifilm’s historical sensor/processor refresh cycles—that the next sensor generation would likely arrive in late 2025 or early 2026.

To be clear, that wasn’t a rumor, just a data-driven speculation.

Following that article, some speculated that November 2025 could be the right moment, since Fujifilm has historically launched some of its most important cameras in that month (such as the X-T5).

But today I can confirm: the 6th generation platform will not be launched in 2025. So you can now rule out “late 2025” as a possibility.

That also means we won’t see the Fujifilm X-T6, X-Pro4 (or X-Pro5, X-Pro6), X-H3, X-H3S, X-T60, X-E6, X100VII, GFX100III, GFX100SIII, or GFX100RFII this year.

And yes, I know plenty of supposed “spec leaks” about these cameras are floating around—but they’re all fake, as we explained here.

Bottom line: it’s all AI-generated nonsense, stuffed with random specs. Every day there’s a new “upcoming” Fujifilm camera announcement.

Some of these videos gather tons of views and lots of comments, so I want to stress it once more: it’s fake.

And yes, I sometimes feel like a lonely Don Quixote, tilting at the windmills of fake rumors with little hope (illusion) of winning this battle. But what matters is staying true to yourself and bring excitement in the Fujifilm community only when it is real, verified, and worth celebrating. So I’ll leave the fake rumors to others. Shall they boost their traffic and make money by misleading people with all sorts of fake rumors. We’ll stay out of this game.

Anyway, the wait for the Fujifilm X-T6 and friends might be a bit longer than we’d like, but it’s much easier to stay patient when you’ve got the ultra-awesome Fujifilm X-E5 in your hands ;)

Fujifilm FF250002 Registration Surfaced… and I Think We Know What it is!

Yet another Fujifilm registration has surfaced on the web and has been shared by E8M at the Chinese social media platform Weibo here.

This time the camera comes with the code name FF250002.

We now have a total of three unreleased camera registered.

I guess the FF250001 is the Fujifilm X-E5, since that registration is the oldest one (spotted already months ago) and hence the most likely to come next. And we know the Fujifilm X-E5 will come on June 12.

The single band wireless of the FF250003 suggest that this is a lower end model.

The FF250002 could be pretty much anything. But before you rejoice for the arrival of the Fujifilm X-T6, Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-H3, Fujifilm X-H3S, Fujifilm X-S30 and what not, keep in mid that there is one camera we know for sure will come in 2025, and it’s the Fujifilm GFX Eterna (which is already listed at B&H Photo).

So it seems likely that the Fujifilm GFX Eterna could be the camera hidden behind this registration, but of course all options are always on the table, until gear has not been officially announced.
