Fujirumors reports that the reason why the X-PRO2 hasn’t been released yet is because Fuji is “waiting” until a brand new sensor is ready for production.

I hope fujifilm will also incorporate 5 axis IBIS in all future bodies as my hands are getting less and less stable as age is catching up. 🙁 TQ!
Let’s see it already!
Yeah. Right.
Of course they are not going to tell everyone that they dropped all development on the X-system and that the XPro-2 will be full frame.
I wouldn’t bet on it as Fujifilm would run very high risks with such a move considering that all their lens line would not match a FF sensor. And, apart from the overvalued shallow depth of film offered by FF what would be the advantages?
They have no optical reflex viewfinders and sensor technology is moving everyday taking away some of the advantages of FF, together with a lot of people that never used a film camera and don’t care about having to calculate the equivalent focal distance of lenses. And these are the core of possible Fujifilm for sure.
Probably a 24MP Sony sensor that has been tweaked just for Fuji. APS-C for sure.
I think the same. The best apsc sensor around.
Don’t forget the Samsung ISOCELL-inspired APS-C sensor in NX1. I think Sonys next move will be in that direction. A Exmor RS APS-C sensor with more Mp and more speed. Toshiba does also have some competitive designs.
There are many reports about nx1 failing short at iso of 1600 and up. I guess they pushed too many mp in aps-c, and despite their new tech, it can’t surpass sony’s 24mp one.
Their sensors has always performed sub par compared to sony, so not a big surprise here!
Rather, I guess sony has into its pipeline some new aps-b beast. We’ll see in 2015!
Instead of reading “many reports” you could look by yourself at Imaging Resource or DPReview, they have easy ways to compare raw and jpegs from various cameras including the NX1.
From what I have seen on this sites, raw IQ is far from “falling short” at ISO 1600 and up. Looks very comparable to what one would get from a D7100 or any other Sony 24Mpix cameras.
Not in my opinion. And not in others’ as well. Happy that someone likes it despite all!
And…even if it were ‘comparable’…that’d be with sensors which are one gen older. Is that a good achievement for you?
One gen older than what?
Is there a newer generation sensor that I have missed that is showing better performances?
Again, FOR ME it is not at the same level, anyway sony’s has been out for 2 years or more now. I’d be highly surprised if there were nothing new behind the corner. It’s a bit like amd vs intel. Amd almost keeps up with intel right when intel is about to market a new cpu.
Then, if you prefer nx1, that’s ok.
There is always something new around the corner… But is it always better? Just compare the previous gen 16MP sensor to the 24MP (D7000 vs D7100 or K5ii vs K3), is the later significantly better?
Now compare the 3 generations of Samsung sensors (14-20-28Mp), I know you make a point of systematically undermining Samsung but you have to recognize that in 3 generations, they came from the back of the class to the front and yes, this is quite an achievement.
The firs samsung sensor in nx cameras was very old, but decent for that time. The 20mp one was worse than any competing one, apart canon, in high iso, and is just decent for dr. Now the 28mp one has to prove itself, but again, imho, is not even on par with 2 years old sony’s. I don’t even consider it significantly better than the 20mp one, high iso wise. Perhaps a tiny bit, but not from the samples I see around.
And considering the failure of the af claim, proven by the following link, the nx1 is simply ‘dismissed’ 😉

I can just try to imagine how devastated you must be… You, so deeply invested in Samsung, seeing that there is no way forward with this system and yet not able to move on to anything else… That must be horrifying!
What will you do, now that Samsung’s fate is sealed…?
I’m so happy I’m a Canon user… It must be really tough… I feel for you but… Isn’t it strange that you seem so happy that they are failing…? After all, their failure is also yours with such an heavy investment..?
??
So, as always, when you have no more to discuss about the evidence of samsung being worse than others, you revert to personal attacks.
I’m indeed happy that nx1 is such a bad camera, since by no means I would have bought such an heavyweight bulky beast, but I’d have been forced to, if it had been a decent af performer. Which is not.
Oh come on Tecno, just a little bit of sarcasm… even if somehow the smileys didn’t come through…
BTW we agree on the AF performances, I don’t think they are at the expected level although I’ll reserve judgment until proper reviews are in so that’s a deal breaker for me too.
On a side note, you’re the only person I know that has ever been forced to buy a camera… is Samsung holding someone you know hostage…? 😉 (<= this is supposed to be a smiley...)
😉 no, not yet at least!
The thing I miss the most in nx, apart for a decent evf (which finally seems to be in nx1), is good subject tracking and ultra fast and precise af and responsiveness. Thease features are still lacking.
The 24MP Sony isn’t exactly a recent sensor either. Wouldn’t it be strange it isn’t ready for production? I bet it is not the same sensor. I don’t believe they’ll go for the FF track either. Or it will be cutting edge, or it is a complete disappointment like f.i. a revamped version of the current 16MP X-trans with some kind of re-tuned CFA.
Sony APS-C 24,3MP (Sony ?6000)… easy.
This is the new organic image sensor.
And I hope they get rid of the typical Japanese sloping parts on the cam and make them STRAIGHT!!!
