BREAKING: Two Fujifilm X-H2 Cameras Coming Different Megapixel Number (one 40 MP and the Other?)

Black Friday Pages

If you follow FujiRumors regularly then you’ll already know that there will be two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras and both will feature a different sensor.

You will also know that one of them will feature a 40 megapixel sensor.

So what about the other one? I did tell you previously that my priority is to find out the answer to the following questions:

  • Will both X-H2 cameras have a 40 Megapixel sensor? (maybe an X-Trans and a Bayer version)?
  • Will both X-H2 cameras have a stacked sensor?
  • Will both X-H2 cameras have an X-Trans sensor?

Well, a trusted source now reached out to us and told FujiRumors that there will be indeed a 40 megapixel Fujifilm X-H2 and that the other Fujifilm X-H2 will have a different megapixel number (not 40MP).

Look guys, I know all this is hard to believe.

In fact, since today Fujifilm always took one sensor and squeezed it for 2 or 3 years into all possible X series bodies. And this is why I understand if many of you are skeptical about these rumors.

But that’s what my sources tell me, and as I do since a decade of blogging now, I simply trust them blindly.

Calls with sources are scheduled already. So expect updates soon.

Fujifilm X-H2 Coming 2022 with Huge Computational Photography Boost?

Fujifilm X-H2

What could be a good topic to talk about this weekend?

Let me think…

What about the Fujifilm X-H2? Is that OK?

And more precisely, could 2022 be the year that will see a huge computational photography boost in Fujifilm X series cameras, starting with the Fujfiilm X-H2?

I think it could be, and here is why.

Recently I wrote an article called “Top 7 Critiques on Fujifilm that Are Absolutely Justified”.

In that article, I said that Fujifilm should hire the best firmware guy there is, and develop tons of artificial intelligence features, as this is one area where APS-C cameras can easily beat full frame and medium format cameras, as I also explained in my article 7 advantages of APS-C over FF article.

The smaller the sensor, the faster the processing, the less the heat, the more the camera is free to make its computational photography magic.

While writing that article, I remembered that back in 2019, top manager Toshihisa IIda did announced a 3 year computational photography plan and said:

  • In 3 years, AI (artificial intelligence or computational photography) will become important part of photography
  • AI will not manage or control, but help photographers to take better images in an easier way

And more recently here, Japanese Fujifilm managers said:

  • If sensor and processor are very fast, then you can do lots of things with computational photography

Well, it looks like Fujifilm plans to give the X series a massive AI boost by 2022 (according to their own 3 years AI roadmap set back in 2019). And guess which camera is set for 2022 announcement? You got it, the Fujifilm X-H2.

So, in terms of new technology, the Fujifilm X-H2 will not only give us a new hardware platform (new sensor and processor), but, if Fujifilm respects their own timeline, we might see also lots of computational magic being implemented in the X-H2.

Btu to be clear: this is not a rumor. I have no idea what the X-H2 will bring in terms of AI features. But Fujifilm itself hinted that by 2022 something will happen in this department. So feel free to let us know which AI features you’d like to get on the Fujifilm X-H2.

Computational Photography – Good or Bad?

Here is what FujiRumors said in the last months regarding the sensor inside the Fujifilm X-H2:

FujiRumors has never rumored nor has any information about a stacked sensor. That’s something actually Fujifilm told us here. And Fujifilm also confirmed that X-Trans will continue.

So the top 3 questions I will try to answer for you as soon as possible are:

  1. will both X-H2 cameras have 40 MP?
  2. will both X-H2 cameras have X-Trans?
  3. will both X-H2 cameras have a stacked sensor?

Just for fun, down below a little survey where you can drop your own guess ;).

For your convenience, down below is the list of X-H2 rumors.

Fujifilm FF210002 Registration Found (Fujifilm X-H2?)

VERY LAST HOURS – save 28% on Capture One 22 pre-upgrades (click here) (20% discount offered by Capture One plus additional 10% with code FUJIRUMORS).
No better pre-upgrade deal is coming, not even at Black Friday. This is the best deal and it will end at 6PM New York Time today!

Nokishita spotted the registration for a new Fujifilm camera with the code name FF210002.

Fujifilm’s unreleased digital camera “FF210002” has been registered with an overseas certification body. Equipped with Wi-Fi (2.4GHz / 5GHz) and Bluetooth

As we saw in the past, it can take up to 6 months between a spotted registration and a final announcement. For example the X-H1 appeared 6 months after registration. Moreover, we are in crazy parts shortage times, so I’d not bet on anything right now.

FujiRumors already told you that Fujifilm’s first camera with new sensor and processor will be the Fujifilm X-H2.

Fujifilm X-H2

Recently I wrote an article, where I said that Fujifilm should do it a bit like Sony, and offer different sensors in the same camera.

However, I also said that I don’t believe that will happen, as at the recent X summit, Fujifilm has teased one (1) new sensor coming, not two.

But well, I was wrong.

A trusted source reached out to us and told me that yes, there will be indeed two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras coming as FujiRumors already told, but the source added that the two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras will feature two “different” sensors.

No more details given to me for now.

So I guess the question now is, what does “different sensors” mean?

FujiRumors already told you that there will be a 40 megapixel sensor in the Fujifilm X-H2. So at least in one of them (if not both) will come with 40 Megapixel.

Maybe there will there be one 40 megapixel X-Trans and one 40 megapixel Bayer sensor Fujifilm X-H2? With X-Trans for better image quality and the Bayer sensor for a more affordable X-H2 version? We have explained the X-Trans/Bayer difference recently here.

Or will there be two completely different sensors? With different megapixel or even different sensor technologies?

Again, keep in mind that all Fujifilm announced is one (1) new BSI stacked X-Trans sensor.

So the options I see are these:

  • Fujifilm is hiding something from us
  • FujiRumors is wrong and there will be just one X-H2 with one sensor
  • there will be two X-H2 cameras and both will feature a stacked BSI sensor

Another question: will both Fujifilm X-H2 have the identical body, or will the body be a bit different? Maybe one more video-centric body with external fan and selfie screen and one more photo-centric body with 3-way tilt screen and more compact?

It happens rarely, but I admit I am a bit confused at this point.
