Very nice specs! I hope to see most if not all of these on the X-T2 =)
Also not interested in xpro2 but if xt2 has same specs I would be interested
Fuji thinks about those who are not interested in the X-Pro2, so their wallet does not grow too fat – there are other pricey options how to loose money 🙂 the 100-400 surely will cost no less than the X-Pro2.
14 bit RAW and 273 AF points. Well that’s just a done deal.
Bring it on! Looks good!
This is a nice solid upgrade. A great tool for those who see it fit to their style. I am anxious to see what is capable from the new sensor.
Do you know when it will actually be available to purchase? I’m hoping for February availability and first deals starting May 2016. That price seems way too high even with those specs compared to the competition.
Well, all said: How much ??
Looks nice! But still no tilt screen atleast, bummer.
So what is the likelihood of the full HD actually being really good and useable 1080? I’m still praying for great video quality at a good bit rate. Video with fuji’s amazing glass would be fun.
Agreed. As much as I really do appreciate Fuji cameras being photographer-centric cameras, it’d be so great to use their glass in video occasionally.
I hope the rumors about the X70 are wrong, and that it will also have these new components.
It would be hard to justify buying a camera that comes out after the X Pro 2 but with worse specs.
they are not wrong
Depends on market segmentation & price point.
Sounds great, but I’ll bet they try initially to position it as a pro/prestige camera and price it more around US$ 2000 (which would be a deal-killer for me and a lot of other people.)
Meanwhile… any rumors of improvements to the antiquated flash system, such as HSS and wireless remote? I just got a Roboshoot TTL wireless trigger system and it looks very promising, but Fuji shouldn’t be depending on third parties for basic functionality that everyone else has had for years…
The most exciting part of photography is – “thinking about light” … And you want the flash to think for you? 🙁
Why TTL?
Grab a wireless trigger and flashe(s) in manual mode (read: the only mode that gives you results you want) and have fun!
the flash system is horrible. off camera flash with ttl is nice for street portrait. with fuji you have to use some canon cable. hss + wireless is long overdue. if your research flash support for fuji its just a pain. this flash wont fire, this trigger doenst work. we can shoot people to the moon but fuji cant get some decent flash gear out. at least some decent fully compatible flashes with a supported wireless trigger system. that shouldnt be a problem.
Fuji is really appearing to refine the functionality of the body. Love the expanded exposure comp range. Dual card slots are nice. Joystick is going to be great. Pixel mapping! The lossless compressed RAW is much needed. This all bodes well for the X-T2, the body I’m really interested in.
Me too – hope they pack those specs in a X-T body, I would be in instantly.
woohooo creative filter :DDD
24.3MP sensor…. exactly like Sony A6000 (!)
Well why whould they use a 2-3 year old sensor? I gues it’s something newer. Also I can’t map the amount of focus points to the A6000, which has less focus points then the rumored 273 of the x-pro2
Didn’t the 16mp sensor in the Fuji XE2/XT1 beat out that same A6000 sensor in overall image quality?
It could have 100 CDAF points being counted
and exactly like many other camera sensors too.
Why to people get so hung up on sensor/sensel design?
What are all of you expecting? 1EV better noise performance?!
It looks like solid specifications all round. Not the technological wizardry of the Sony FF’s but a refined and focused tool for stills. Paired with excellent XF glass it’s difficult to imagine anything but great results achievable.
That focus system alone should address one of the bigger shortcomings of the original X-Pro1.
I’m curious how much the new AF system will affect the way I shoot.
I will buy it but I really hope for low noise and better dynamic range as well as high bit rate 1080p video with no moire.
It sounds really great!
Try to buy one when it comes to $1000 in China.
Looks great! I hope that video is clean and usable!! That would be the cherry on top.
Hmm…so as I and others suspected, its a similar sensor to the a6000. No new high refresh rate BSI-CMOS sensor for Fujifilm users. A major improvement over the X-Pro1 yes, but in the grand scheme of things, still a little underwhelming.
Who knows right now, the A6000 sensor has not much less PDAF points, and nobody says that the X-Trans III can´t be BSI. I´m also not overwhelmed by the specs, but the truth still has to come.
The price can be a real killer, estimated $1800 would be pretty heavy.
it seems you know the exact sensor specs. What’s the read out speed, on which process is it made and what sensel design do they use?
any idea what resolution is the EVF going to be?
Maybe the Epson Ultimicron: http://photorumors.com/2015/12/09/epson-announces-mass-production-of-the-evf-found-in-the-leica-sl-typ-601-mirrorless-camera/
“…Ultimicron boasts resolution of 4.41-million dots…”
Thats the thing. I don’t expect the X-P2 to have one of these (maybe the X-T2?), but something smaller than the X-T1 will be disappointing and obsolete in a few months. The resolution and magnification of the EVF’s around are getting bigger. Do we realize how important is to have a clear and big EVF for the user experience?
I hope it’s Leica Q’s viewfinder or something similar..
No information about the EVF!! I hope its resolution and magnification are at least like the X-T1…
take a look at the x100t
Still no dice for me. Now, give me an XE3, XT2 or XT20 with a tilt screen, no optical viewfinder and at least 30Mp (and a reasonable price: 1700€ is nuts for an APS-C with the other options out there) and I’ll switch to Fuji faster than I can put my beloved Sony A7r on eBay* 🙂
*the A7r is fantastic for what I do (mostly landscapes), but Fuji lens lineup is perfect for my needs while Sony ones is still full of holes or way too expensive for the level of quality delivered
No tilt or touchscreen is a bit disappointing but oh well. I’m sure it will be an amazing camera all around but they need to get the price point right with this one, it can’t be over £1500 or whatever it was when the Pro1 launched.
Patrick, super excited. What I still don’t get is why the OS (other sites’) rumors are striked through. It is not an organic sensor, it’s an x-trans sensor, and it’s an APS-C sensor, so why is this wrong? – Non organic APS-C X-Trans sensor (OS)
…and is it the same size or bigger than the X-Pro1?
– smaller than X-PRO1 (OS)
Any more information on the sensor? A while ago it was discussed here about a possible Multi Aspect Ratio which sounded interesting. Can this already definitely be excluded?
think that was a hoax.
And looking at the comments, people wouldn’t care and would hate, since development costs for such a sensor would be higher.
I see, thx for your reply. A pity in my opinion anyway, as this would have been a great standalone feature and would have corresponded to the Image as a pro camera. But I understand that development and firmware adjustment costs would be too high *sigh*
May I ask are you working in camera, sensor or semiconductor business or are you just a very interested “geak” 🙂 because I recognized in your comments all over that you understand a lot from this stuff and have good information and explanations.
studied physics, but not too much about sensors there.
sensors (semiconductors) as well as optics are a hobby I have for years (I not only enjoy taking photos, but also the tech behind it. The complexity of this subject is enormous and there are thousands of interesting papers on it)
If you want feedback from someone working in the industry, image-sensor-world and dpreview could give you that 🙂
A square sensor would’ve been great, but, if my math is right (which ain’t often the case), the sensor would be 1.2x bigger or 1.5x the height, so probably not worth the cost involved.
The biggest news for me here is a new sensor and a My Menu feature.
24mps is nice, not essential.
Admin – Is it really the A6000 sensor?
it’s not. However it might/or might not be similar to it.
There is no such thing as “exactly the same sensor” in imaging
I am looking forward to this. And when it will come out with 24MP and without BSI (but with very good performance) haters will hate and photographers will be pleased and love taking pictures with it.
Am I the only person who is slightly disappointed with the lack of organic sensor? I was hoping for some sort of miracle or surprise to happen, but it didn’t come I guess
Would’ve definitely been a miracle, but I don’t think anyone expected it really, since they had heat problems and who knows what else. There was also a rumor here stating that it’d still take quite a while (year or years) before it’d be completed… found it: http://www.fujirumors.com/sensor-rumors-organic-sensor-still-2-or-3-years-to-go-sony-splits-its-sensor-business-good-news-for-fuji/
I’d expect some kind of organic sensor-thing in the next 2-3 years.. Sensor technology and silicum based technology is starting to evolve slower, and so are the market tendencies.
You’re not alone, and I think a Fuji manager made the mistake of raising expectations a bit too high when he said that the X-Pro 2 was waiting for a technological advance (old rumor somewhere on this site). It leaves a lot of people wondering, “This is what we waited for?” There’s nothing inherently wrong with the X-Pro 2 as a camera, but people are wondering why Fuji waited 4 years to release it, even canceling the rumored X-Pro 1s because of this supposed advance.
I imagine the organic sensor will likely appear in a compact or m43 camera first, given the rumors of problems with heat. Fuji & Panasonic will want to try it one something experimental, not a legacy device.
Any idea on how low the AF will focus in poor light? -3ev….?
Any thoughts?
According to digicame-info : ” Faster than has been AF”, so I assume also in low light, more detailed info than that is unknown at the moment.
I don’t get the point of a OVF in a ILC, that’s why I picked the X-E2. Good for Fuji regarding its hardware improvements, but I mainly miss a higher DR
I start to think that they have a surprise coming. Im sure there is more.
Patrick, what about a monochrom-x version? Any hope for that?
I’m excited about the new film simulation modes. We will have the 11 old ones (Provia, Astia, Velvia, Classic Chrome, Pro Neg Hi, Pro Neg Std, BW, BW+Y, BW+R, BW+G, Sepia), the new one (Arcos) and 4 more. Perhaps they are filter modes for Arcos (Yello, Red, Green) and a sepia style based on Arcos? Or they are completely new ones?
Advert for X-Pro2? https://vimeo.com/150537857
Looks fake to me..
Clearly X-Pro1 in the video, the shot without lens is X-Pro1 and the last image of the X-Pro2 is the same that has been shared by Patrick
Looking it again, the first view at 2 sec shows the left hand side of the camera and there is clearly no diopter dial – so it’s def a X-Pro1 apart from the end image. I am amazed at the effort people put in to create fake content 🙂
The grip is the new beefier one (t= 19s), so it should be the X-Pro2.
Remarkeble, both 35mm lenses are used in the movie.
Grip is the old one on the first image (t= 17s)
At t=14s HVF ?
I don’t understand all the fuss people make, about preferring other brands/cameras over the Fuji X-Pro(x). The one and only camera that could be mentioned in this respect, if you require an interchangeable-lens system, is a Leica M digital rangefinder. Because that’s what the X-Pro2 is about, a viable (and affordable) alternative to a 10 000 euro rangefinder type camera. How can you possibly consider any kind of Sony, Nikon, Canon, or any other Fuji camera for that matter, if you’re in need of a rangefinder camera? It’s not even relevant what sensor it will have. You choose a CAMERA SYSTEM. The Fuji X-Pro2 is a new camera that will see daylight soon, and it will be a modern and very capable tool for those who are in need of it. No, I haven’t seen one yet, let alone used one, but the Fuji X system has grown mature meanwhile and it’s obvious the successor of the X-Pro1 will be very sweet … and mine!
But it’s not really a rangefinder, unless they changed that in the x-pro2.
I didn’t say that. I called it “a viable (and affordable) alternative”.
“How can you possibly consider any kind of Sony, Nikon, Canon, or any other Fuji camera for that matter, if you’re in need of a rangefinder camera?” – not here to argue but this sentence seems to imply as if x-pro2 is a rangefinder. Maybe you meant to say rangefinder alternative like in a previous sentence.
Agreed it’s not a rangefinder, but it is the only ILC mirrorless digital camera, isn’t it?
Having the OVF definitely distinguishes it from other mirrorless, and the form factor is closer to a true RF. In some ways, of course, the electronic rangefinder allows better, more accurate, more adaptable frame lines, and the ability to change magnification on the fly surpasses a traditional RF like a Leica.
Thanks for pointing that out James. The way Fuji develops and adapts the rangefinder concept to the digital age is nothing short of innovatory!
Base ISO is still 200??? So bad!
Another clue to an older sensor being used…
lol, not even close 😉
if the base ISO was any indication 95% of Canons and Nikons would use the same sensor 😉
I believe most Canons (their DSLRS anyway) go down to ISO 100 as standard. As for Nikons, most of their current line of APS-C DSLRs stop as standard at an ISO of 200 because they use ‘older’ Sony sensors…like the X-Pro2 might be using, while the just released D500 goes down to ISO 100.
Ok, I’ll try to explain this:
There is some nativ ISO to every sensor. Most of the time this isn’t something you’d want on your Spec sheet like ISO143. What manufacturers do, is either push, or pull it to ISO100/200.
Furthermore there are different standards on setting ISO and that’s why you often read, that Canon meters differently than Nikon which is different from Fuji which ….
If they wanted to, they could call it ISO 400 or ISO 50 too.
So in the end the Base ISO setting tells you absolutely nothing about the sensor used 🙂
That’s interesting…I wasn’t aware of that.
Fuji is releasing a A6000 with some body improvements… and Sony is releasing a A6100 with real improvements. Ouch. 🙁
and when is Sony releasing lenses?
As I said, before: the body is cheap plastic, handing sucks, the menu is worse than Fujis, the viewfinder is a disaster.
But it’s cheap and pretty small, that’s on the pro side.
All in all, I get better pictures from my fuji system (that’s why I am here) and I don’t think this will change next gen.
I think you’re both right. I run two systems right now, because neither are quite where they should be. The sensor in the A7rii is crazy good, but the lens selection isn’t yet coherent or comprehensive enough and ergonomics are mixed.
The best thing about Fuji is their lenses, and ergonomics, but the sensor leaves a deal to be desired in terms of DR and X-Trans has post processing issues.
The day Fuji get over X-Trans and stick a state of the art BSI sensor in one of their great bodies, the Sony will be history.
Sony’s sensors are good, but Nikon is able to get better results than Sony with those sensors..
Let’s see what Fuji can produce with that sensor… if it’s the same.
Yeah, we’ll see. I love Fuji’s bodies and lenses, and I’m pretty happy with what I have, but it’d be a shame if they brought out a brand new generation of cameras featuring an already ‘old’ sensor.
Since the video specs are beefed up, any chance of mic input?
I was mulling over the specs again, and something jumped out at me. The 3″ 1.62 million dot back panel LCD. I think that’s new! This could be the super high-res Sony LCD part I read about somewhere a while back. That 1.62 million dots works out to a 900x600x3(RGB) pixel display…over 360 PPI! The highest resolution camera panel LCDs so far have been 720x480x3(RGB) pixels…that are just over 288 PPI. I’m also wondering if it will use a new super high-res EVF, like the one used in the Leica Q/SL manufactured by Epson…the specs haven’t revealed any details about the actual EVF used here yet.
I’ve just read that Nikon’s new D5 and D500 use a 2.36 million dot 3.2″ LCD which is 1024x768x3(RGB)…exactly 400 PPI! and the same resolution as the Sony OLED EVF part Fujifilm (amongst others) uses on many of its models. That fits the description of the part I read about a while back more than the one used on the X-Pro2. None the less I’m pretty sure that Fuji’s new LCD is also a brand new design!
hmmmm i wonder what AF will be in xpro2. my xpro1 is still going strong and don’t really see a need to ugprade…
can’t help getting more excited to wait for the Oly EM1 II announcement in a little while. Fuji clearly doesn’t aim to be in the specs-raised (probably never did). But what’s Fuji trying to build its sustainable advantage? “more of the same with (well done but late) incremental changes” will slowly erode its user base. “great lenses” is certainly there but there is little they can do to drastically improve the current line up. competition will catch up over time.
Sony moves further and further away with sensor tech (not talking about other things) on FF, 43 is coming closer.
Fuji, please tell us what will makes you unique in 2016 and beyond. If not, at least stop charging a premium on your products!
And what exactly will the Em1 II be able to do that is so special? And what would bring them closer to APS-C? The 20MP sensor from the GX8 has nearly no improvements over the old 16MP
no one knows but what i would expect to happen is something like this: oly is already ahead of Fuji in terms of AF speed/accuracy by at least 1 generation and they have an excellent IBIS – both of which will be taken to the next level. they already have an excellent lens line up (so does Fuji) – new faster primes are expected soon.
they have heaps of other recent features that are relevant to some, less to others (focus stacking) that fuji is not having.
equally i expect the new EVF to probably surpass the XT1/XP2, eventually by a mile.
lastly, the sensor which is the big unknown but alread comparing current generations against each other the difference is relatively small btw 43 and APSC, i don’t think the gap will widen but rather narrow.
lastly looking at the full package, 43 does have a more significant size advantage over APSC than APSC over FF. that allows for “more bang for the ounce”.
that’s just my 5 cents but what i am referring to above is Fuji being squeezed between 43 and FF mirrorless and so far i have not seen anything striking and significant with the XP2 that would them allow to maintain significant traits of differentiation and its strong USPs that ultimately allows higher sales number (which can mean lower unit prices, more investment in research etc).
I disagree with nearly every of your points, but that’s the interesting thing – everyone can have an opinion and (most of the time ;)) there is no wrong one 🙂
And Oly is doing some amazing things. It’s just, that most of them would’t benefit me with making photos
You don’t know about what’s knew with the E-M1.2, but you’re so excited about not knowing that it must be really, really great? LOL. Nothing wrong about loving m43s but not need to come troll here.
Patrick: Any chance for »Lossless compression 14bit RAW« to come to the X-T1/X-T10 via Firmware Update?
