According to latest rumors Fuji X-T3 camera will have a 26 Megapixel APS-C X-Trans sensor. The Sensor will be a stacked CMOS Sensor based on initial reports coming from trusted sources of rumor mill.
Difference between BSI and Stacked CMOS sensor Design
Stacked sensors are one step ahead than the BSI Sensor where you have a additional layer of DRAM Chip sandwiched in between the top Pixel layer and the bottom circuit section. By including a stacked CMOS sensor inside the XT series camera Fuji will able to extract details at high speed compared to a conventional X-Trans Sensor.
We will update you soon as we get any new information.

Stacked sensors don’t necessarily contain DRAM. They’re simnply made using two separately fabricated chips, one with the digital parts, one with the photodiode array. Sony’s been using these for years in everything from smartphones to the A7 mirrorless cameras, but none of these have DRAM. They showed off a DRAM stacked sensor, or three-layer stacked sensor as they’re likely to be called, last summer. But it’s not yet in a product.
Whom does Fuji rely on for the needed semiconductor expertise?
This kind of multi level chip structure is really difficult to make, hence very expensive if purchased commercially.
Sony make X-Trans sensor, a stack CMOS sensor inside XT series camera clearly indicated the strong bond between Fuji and Sony.
Still not 28MPixels as 5y+ Samsungs!

Samsung NX1 camera was a very capable camera. BTW, Samsung Singapore division confirmed us once again they have no plan to start the Mirrorless production for now.
