Let’s see if Sony is able to get back some of the viral internet hype they have lost with the announcement of the Canon EOS-R5.
Fuji confirms the X-H2 is coming and that it will be different from the T-series
Mapcamera interviewed one of Japanese top managers Mr. Takashi Ueno. Fujirumors summed up the important info:
- Fujifilm wants to continue with the concept of the XH series, which is different from the T series
- the X-H series is not only characterized by IBIS
- the X-H series is made very tough, has a large grip to make it better usable with long lenses, has a thicker magnesium alloy chassis, it’s more robust
- All this makes the camera bigger and heavier, but that’s necessary to meet professional needs and maintain high specifications
- Fujifilm would like to make the XH series a camera with a clearly different concept from the XT series
- The Fujifilm X-H line is intended for users who have different shooting purposes and shooting scenes
- The mere difference in design and operability does not make it possible for the X-H and X-T series to coexist. Fujifilm is currently studying these issues
