(High credibility rumor):
The current X-PRO1 with a photoshopped “2”. Yes, exciting change 馃檪
Yes, the long painful wait for the new X-PRO2 is close to an end! The folks at Fujirumors got info from reliable source saying the camera will be announced in January. The major changes are expected to be inside the camera. The X-PRO2 will keep the original X-PRO1 design but (listen listen!) possibly feature a new Sony sensor! Will that mark the end of X-Trans? Probably not but Sony proved to make very high quality sensors and it would certainly help Fuji to use them to keep costs down. I can hear the lament of the Fuji folks on this 馃檪

II would return to Fuji when they will abandon the x-trans matrix and when they have improved the video capability …
Fuji already uses Sony sensors, tweaked for their x-trans matrix. Am I wrong?
next sony sensor had in-microlens-color-filter ,how fuji do.
or they order custom sensor without microlens,sound like very difficult.
No. It is Toshiba.
The current X-trans sensor is actually a Sony sensor, but with Fuji’s own CFA.
I am guessing they will use Sony’s 24 or upcoming 32MP sensors and add their own CFA to create the next X-Trans sensor.
Seems like Fuji and Panasonic and Olympus stuck in sensor production – has not Olympus gotten sensor from Panasonic but I expect as Sony owns a chunk of Olympus that soon Olympus will use Sony sensors – rumor has it that the new sensor in the Panasonic GX8 is a Sony sensor – and this long awaited Organic sensor between Panasonic and Fuji is not coming anytime soon – it is amazing how long folks have had to wait for the X-Pro2 – seems like Fuji have been totally stuck on ideas – or just have given up or realized that the sensor they had planned to use is not coming soon so using a Sony sensor will produce the X-Pro2 – Two things we know it will not have – IBIS and Touch LCD 馃檪 Fuji has nice lenses and a good selection but most of their primes do not have IS – and they will never do IBIS and always behind in video – I cannot see that it will have 4K as even Olympus has not done 4k yet – but I expect the EM2 will have 4k – Now things are heating up with Canon coming up with some super high MP bodies and the Old Retro styling is not as popular as before so Fuji have to really up their game
gx8 sensor that is rumors the true it had 22.70mp and slighly bigger than normal m4/3 sensor,compare to gx7,gx8 had wider image on same lens.
how long fuji wait?
Fuji X-Trans cameras all use Sony sensors with Fuji primary color filter arrays. They’re the same as in the Nikon D7000 (X-Trans) and Sony NEX-6 (X-Trans II).
No worry, Fuji will go bankrupt very soon, maybe not literally, but going out of the camera market. The X system is really doomed, one foot in grave kind of already dying camera system.
Fuji really sucks…..
