And here comes the new Sony 43MP 8K APS-C sensor. Who is going to use it?

The very reliable Sony sensor source Luke Driftwood shared his latest leak. It’s a new Sony 43MP 8K APS-C sensor made for consumer cameras. This isn’t meant to be a professional video oriented sensor. Still the specs are impressive with 8K 12bit and stacked DRAM.

The big question here is: Who is going to use this sensor? Fuji on the X-H2, Nikon on a Z70 or Sony on the A7000?

Those are the full leaked Fujifilm X-T4 specs!

The Fuji X-T4 will cost $1,699 and have a myriade of new features

Above you can see the newly leaked images of the X-T4 (with the battery). The camera will cost $1,699 which I consider to be a very good price for the features it has. Those are the full specs shared by Fujirumors:

  1. 26MP sensor of X-T3
  2. dual SD-Card slot
  3. new sub dials (see below)
  4. flippy screen (see below)
  5. deeper buffer
  6. a bit thicker
  7. no 6K
  8. 2350 mAh battery
  9. battery looks almost the same like the Nikon EN-EL15b
  10. Fujifilm X-T4 looks almost identical to the Fujifilm X-T3
  11. Fujifilm X-T4 has basically the same grip
  12. Only real noticeable difference, is the flippy screen instead of tilt screen
  13. Fujifilm X-T4 has still an exposure compensation dial. No top LCD like X-H2
  14. there will be exactly the same amount of buttons of the X-T3, and in exactly the same position
  15. however, the buttons will be marked differently (comparison below)
  16. the sub-dials will have different markings, too, such as “Video”, “Still” and also “HDR”
  17. af Assist Lamp moved a bit higher
  18. the X-T4 is a bit bigger than X-T3. You gotta fit that huge battery and IBIS in the body ;)
  19. No Pixel-shift yet.
  20. USB PD protocol implemented, as it charged very quickly with a PD 30W USB-C charger. Not so fast with a normal QC charger.
  21. IBIS can go up to 6.5 stops with some of the prime lenses.
  22. Multiple Boost modes including normal / economy / boost AF / boost FPS / boost Res etc.
  23. X-T4 rear screen 1.62m dots [X-T3 has 1.04m dots]
  24. IBIS is great.
  25. NP-W325 battery rated at 2200mAh 16Wh
  26. Classic Negative and Bleach Bypass film simulation added.
  27. CH mode has 15 fps, and the slots are faster at writing to cards. [X-T3 has 11 fps]
  28. Not a touch shutter like X-H1. [the leaf spring shutter release button]
  29. Priced at 1700 USD.
