Fuji X-H line created for dedicated cinema cameras. Fuji X-H1 cameras were one of the most popular APS-C cameras of Fuji.. And it was the first model to introduce IBIS in the Fuji Mirrorless system. As usual, we know Fuji never does incremental updates in their flagship APS-C cameras. That’s why due to lack of proper technology they have delayed the update of the Fuji X-H2 Mirrorless camera. Earlier, the Fuji X-H2 mirrorless camera was expected to arrive in 2021.
Before we discuss further, the possible set of specifications of the upcoming camera. Take a look at what did Fujifilm managers said during an interview about the Fuji X-H2 camera
Fujifilm X-H2 not so soon
- Fujifilm continues to “investigate future X-H cameras”
- X-T and X-H are two clearly different lines. What is the difference? “Difficult to say now; we need some sort of the breakthrough, probably.”
- it’s not enough for the X-H2 to be an X-T4 with a bigger grip, “we have to have something more revolutionary.”
- X-H2 is where new technology will enter the product line
It’s very clear from the interview they are talking about breakthrough technologies, They don’t want to put a regular update on the X-H line. Possibly once they have a supply of new High-Resolution APS-C Sensor from Sony, after that they will update the new X-H line..
Sony 43 and 32MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
We are one of the first websites in the world to publish a Sony list of Sensors that may get used in upcoming APS-C and FF cameras. Right now Sony has 32MP and 43 MP high-resolution APS-C CMOS sensors. it will be interesting to see which sensor does Fuji picks up for their X-H2 Camera. If they select the 32MP sensor then the X-H2 camera will remain limited to 6K and if they select the 43MP Sensor then we do have a high possibility of the presence of 8k video mode inside Fuji X-H2. Only time will tell.

Nothing wrong with “only” offering 6K video, but on a 32MP sensor if it’s not binned or line skipped it will involve a crop. 6K is 6144×3160, but a 32MP APS-C sensor is
6928 x 4618 and a 16:9 crop is 6928 x 3897 = 27MP, so 6K would require a crop factor of
X = sqrt(27/19.4) = 1.18
I doubt they would use oversampling because it would involve a weird fraction.
Agree. I do have High hopes with X-H2
“Fuji never does incremental updates in their flagship APS-C” If the update from X-T2 to X-T3 was not incremental, then I dont know what is.
