See, it is not unusual to expect a Fuji camera announcement during the Fuji X-Summit. We have seen that the Fuji X-Summit is an excellent platform that Fuji uses to announce its new cameras.
The previous year ( in 2022), during the Fuji X-Summit, Fuji announced the new X-H2S camera which was capable of shooting up to 40 frames per second with the help of an electronic shutter. At the same time, they also introduced F-Log2, a new gamma mode that offers 14+ stops of dynamic range in the latest X-H2S camera.
Based on their announcement patterns, we made a list of expected cameras from Fujifilm back on December 26th, 2022. Not only that, we have also published back on April 12th, 2023 that the Fuji X-S20 will arrive on May 24th during the X-Summit of 2023. And we also expect the arrival of Fuji’s GFX50R Mark II.
Finally today, Rumormills also confirmed that yes Fuji X-S20 is coming. That’s really great news.
According to the latest rumors from rumor mills, Fuji will be releasing a brand new camera on Fuji X-Summit, which is about to happen on May 24, 2023. The other big possibility apart from the Fuji X-S10 camera is Fuji GFX 50 R II announcement.
We all know the GFX 50R is discontinued back in Sep 2021, and the stock pipelines of the camera are almost empty. And the GFX 50S II is almost a year old (announced back in Sep 2021). So, now it’s the perfect time to introduce the Fuji GFX 50R to gain more medium format market share with an affordable price tag and trimmed out the core specifications.
We will post an update as soon as we get any new information
Recently, A image leaked showing, the X-Pro3 with a folding screen. It is not sure whether it is a new product or X-Pro 4. It is an edited pic of the X-Pro 3 made by Fuji for April Fool’s Day on April 1st. We will post an update soon as it becomes available to us.

Finally, we have the PDR Fuji X-T5, thanks to Photons to Photos for uploading the test results so fast. So, now we have a Fuji Camera Under $2000 which features a 40MP X-Trans sensor.
Now, let’s talk about what is PDR for beginners, Photographic Dynamic Range is a measure of a camera’s sensor’s ability to capture and reproduce (in short resolve) the full range of tones in a scene, from the brightest highlights to the darkest shadows.
So, I think the PDR chart is a valuable tool for photographers seeking to compare the dynamic range of different cameras and can assist in determining which camera is best suited for their specific needs.
Specifically when ur shooting in an uncontrolled light environment, Like a Landscape, architecture, or even a portrait in uncontrolled light, if the camera has a better PDR range you can recover details from shadows in a better way.
If you are confused between the Canon R8 and Fuji X-T5 image quality, this post will clear 50% of your confusion. Since being a Fullframe camera Canon R8 is more affordable and features a full-frame sensor (although IBIS is missing), but this post we are limited to Dynamic Range TEST only.
1. Canon Beat Fuji in Dynamic Range Test – (Under $2000 Camera Range)
I am comparing here the Canon R8 camera Sensor PDR with the Fuji X-T5 (We will use the Canon R6 Mark II PDR range since the Image sensor and image processor of both the camera exactly the same), yes we do have many other aspects of comparison and in those, we may see Canon R8 fail miserably. But, when we are comparing the test results of the Canon R8 aka R6 mark II camera sensor with the Fuji X-T5 we are surprised that how well a Canon FSI technology based 24.2 MP Sensor is performing in comparison to Fuji’s latest 40MP X-Trans BSI CMOS APS-C. Although we do have a massive resolution difference between the two as well as a size difference.
Canon 24.2 MP Fullframe sensor features an 11.52 PDR range vs Fuji 40Mp Sensor remains limited to 10.43 PDR. So, its a very clear that if you need better dynamic range Canon R8 is better
2. High ISO Test (Canon 24MP vs Fujis 40 MP)
We have conducted a High ISO test between, Canon R6 Mark II and Fuji X-H2 Camera. Since as you know the Canon R8 uses R6 Mark II and the Fuji X-H2 camera uses a Fujis X-H2 40MP X-Trans BSI CMOS sensor, let’s us see which one preserves more details.
AT ISO 512000 its clearly visible that the Canon R6 Mark II sensor preserves more details compared to Fujis source dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison
From both PDR (Dynamic range test) as well as HIGH ISO test, it’s very clear that the Canon 24MP Full frame sensor is performing well compared to the Fujis 40MP sensor.
Finally, let’s compare the base ISO, and the details capturing ability of both cameras. And in this test, we are sure that Canon will fail miserably.
3. Base ISO Test
As you can clearly see the details capturing ability of the Fuji’s 40MP, so if you are working in a controlled light environment then the best sensor to work with is Fujix 40 X-Trans sensor presented in the Fujix X-H2 and the Fuji X-T5 Camera.
According to rumors that surfaced over the web, Fuji may announce a model below Fuji X-T5 with the same 40MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR BSI Sensor. The expected announcement date of the camera is one or before June (Asian source).
We published a set of the expected core specification of the Fuji X-S20 camera a while ago, and in that we were expecting fuji will again use the Fuji 26MP sensor in the X-S20 body to protect the sales of the X-T5 and other high-end models. But, if this information is accurate then Fuji will certainly dominate the APS-C segment once again despite the presence of the Canon R10 or Canon R7.
Fujifilm has just released a Major firmware update for its X-H2S mirrorless camera, although X-H2s camera is already known for its fast AF system. Specifically, AI F tracking of the camera is best in Fuji range of cameras, even better than the X-H2. The X-H2S camera already has a variety of subject-detection autofocus modes, such as airplanes, animals, automobiles, bicycles, birds, (human) eye, (human) face, motorcycles and trains.
Now, we Fuji engineers added 2 NEW AI AF modes to the X-H2s system as well as they have also upscaled the autofocus algorithm for tracking fast-moving subjects. The new firmware version 3.00, now includes subject detection modes for insects and drones, with the airplane and bird modes capable of recognizing and focusing on drones and insects respectively. Fujifilm has also improved overall subject detection modes when shooting in challenging lighting situations, and AI AF algorithm to better track subjects moving at high speeds. Other improvements include support for Fujifilm’s TG-BT1 tripod grip.
Fuji always has advanced core specs inside the camera and the level of perfection they attain in designing the rangefinder bodies. Let’s talk about the set of Fuji Cameras we want to see in the year 2023
1. Fuji X-Pro 4
We are expecting the arrival of the Fuji X-Pro 4 camera with a 40MP sensor and Built-in 7 Stop of IBIS, we will not have advanced video modes like Fuji X-T5 that offers 6.2k 30fps recording, but the camera will record videos upto 4K 60p. Take a look at the possible set of core specs arrive under Fuji X-Pro 4 Model

The Fuji X-E4 update is overdue, but since the camera price is very competitive, we can expect some limited updates inside the camera.
4. Fuji X-S100 VI
The Fuji X-100 series is one of my Fav series from day one. We do expect the introduction of a 40MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR BSI Sensor and X processor 5.

5. Fuji X-T300
We all know Fuji is ignoring its entry-level line-up cameras. But, they should at least keep active the X-Txx series. They should care for beginners too why only pros, and now the lens mount is also open so even we can have some affordable and amazing X-Mount lenses from brands like Viltrox and Tamron.
The Specs that we expect from Fuji X-T300
26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 Sensor
X-Processor 5 (Improved Processor)

Fuji’s entry-level line-up is almost cleaned, we don’t have any active entry-level cameras is Fuji. Even X-T200 is active only in the Asian region, Fuji should re-activate its entry-level Cameras again.
These are the set of Cameras we are expecting from Fuji 2023. Do let us know your fav camera on the list and the camera you are waiting for.
