Owners of the Fujifilm X Pro 1 should know that according to Fuji Rumors, a top Japanese source is saying that the company will release the successor camera towards the end of the year. However, there are a bunch of other cameras that are bound to come out in the space in-between–but these will primarily target the lower end of the X series spectrum with the exception of a toned down version of the X-T1 also on the roadmap.
According to their post, the purported specs of the Fujifilm X Pro 2 will be:
â APS-C sensor (TS + ASwN + AS)
â 24MP sensor (ASwN) â More than 16MP (ASwN)
â dual SD card slot
â coming late 2015 (TS + ASwN)
â tilt screen (AS)
â WiFi (AS)
â Non organic ASP-C X-Trans sensor (ORS)
â Price about 20% to 30% more expensive than the X-T1 (AS)
By nature of how Fujifilm operates, this means that the X Pro 1 may still see a couple more firmware updates as the company is steadfast on delivering the latest innovations that they can to their older cameras. I’m a Fujifilm X Pro 1 owner, and I still love it to death.
Fujifilm is also relatively slow to change their sensors, and to be honest they don’t really have to. The company makes arguably the best APS-C sensors in the market that in some ways even outdo certain full frame offerings when it comes to performance. Sony and Nikon have already started to venture into the 24MP APS-C sensor area and both tend to get a bit too noisy at high ISOs for our liking. But we’re really hoping that that isn’t the issue with this newly talked about Fujifilm sensor.
