Mar 23, 2023 by John Aldred Add Comment

At the beginning of the year, Fujifilm posted a new year announcement video stating that Fuji’s X summit and Fujikina had been scheduled for April of this year. Now, though, there are a couple of reports coming out that the events have been cancelled. FujiRumors says that a “trusted source” has told them that it is no longer going ahead. There’s been no official word from Fuji yet, although that may never come.

Exactly what was planned to be announced at the Fuji X Summit event is unknown, but there has been some speculation about what it might be. Could we be seeing a new sports-oriented GFX camera? New firmware to add major new functionality to older devices? Well, we still might find out next month.

September is Fuji month, with two X Summit and Fujikina events in New York City

Fujifilm is holding not one but two events in New York City this September. The first is the X Summit event on September 8th, where they’re expected to launch a new camera. Two days later, on September 10th, they’re hosting a free Fujikina “interactive festival” event for anybody interested in photography to come and celebrate the 10th anniversary of Fuji’s X-Mount system.

The X Summit event is likely to be the announcement of the long-awaited Fujifilm X-H2 mirrorless camera with the company’s shiny new 40-megapixel 5HR X-Trans CMOS sensor. We may also see some new lens announcements, too – or at least an update. It’s likely that if the Fuji X-H2 is announced during the X Summit event, they’ll have at least one or two on display during the Fujikina event a couple of days later.

Fujifilm has announced the new Fujifilm X-H2S mirrorless camera at the Fuji X Summit 2022. It features the new 5th generation stacked X-Trans BSI CMOS sensor that’s 4x faster than the previous generation along with the X-Processor 5, which represents a 30x speed increase over their first-generation processors. This gives it improved speed, power and intelligence for faster throughput and computational abilities.

As with the previous Fujifilm X-H1, the X-H2S is geared primarily towards video shooters, with 6.2K resolution at up to 30fps. you also get 4K up to 120fps and 1080p up to 240fps. Even for stills, though, you can get up to 40fps continuous shooting with autofocus and autoexposure. The sensor offers a 120fps readout for constant AF and AE adjustments as well as deep AI technology for subject detection and tracking.

After talking about some new and upcoming lenses, like the recently announced GF 45-100mm f/4, Fujifilm announced that they’re planning to introduce a 400-megapixel “pixel shift” mode to the Fujifilm GFX 100.
