The high resolution Fujifilm X-H2 with 40 megapixel will be launched after the Fujifilm X-H2S. We certainly will not get the full announcement of the Fujifilm X-H2 high resolution or the Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 MKII. However good news is that we will meet the XF 18-120mm f/4 Lens.

The first details of this telephoto zoom lens were mentioned in the latest Fujifilm Lens Roadmap.

Fujifilm X-H2 Could Be Priced Under $2,500

The Fujifilm X-H2 will be the first X-series camera to introduce a new sensor and new image processing engine platform. The video-oriented X-series camera will be capable of 8K video recording, both 8K DCI and 8K UHD. What about the Fujifilm X-H2 Price?

The Fujifilm X-H2 is expected to have a price tag below the Panasonic GH6, which will be priced around $2,500. So the Fujifilm X-H2 will cost less than $2,500. The launch price of the Fujifilm X-H1 was $1,900 in North America, so the X-H2 is likely $1,000 higher than that, but it seems to be a relatively cheap price for a 8K video compatible device.

Considering the aspect ratio, it is certain that a sensor with 40MP or more will be adopted to support 8K video, so the X-H2 may be noticed by still users who are looking for a high pixel APS-C camera. Continue reading “Fujifilm X-H2 Could Be Priced Under $2,500”

Fujifilm X-H2 to be Announced in Late 2021, Full Specs

Fujifilm registeres a new camera under the code name FF 210001. We believe this camera code refers to the exciting Fujifilm X-H2.
