The 23mm lens of the X100T results in an angle of view of 63.4° The 18.5mm lens of the rumored X200 results in an angle of view of about 75° (own calculations) That means that if you take a picture with a 23mm lens things appear about 1.24 times higher (and 1.24 time wider) than if you take the same picture with a 18.5mm lens on the same sensor size (own calculations using tan of half the angle of view). If you divide 24 megapixels by (1.24 x 1.24) you get about 15.6 megapixels. That means that the resolution of the X200 using the 23mm digital converter (35mm in 35mm format equivalent) is about the same as the resolution of the original X100T. If you set the digital converter to 33mm (50mm in 35mm format equivalent) the resolution drops to about 7.5 megapixels. Just my 2 cents to the digital converter.

As far as I understood the rumor the lens is 28 mm effective. That means, that it is a 18.5 mm lens like the lens on the X70.

I would buy the X-E3 if it had the same sensor as the X-Pro2. But I think the new sensor will trickle down from expensive high end cameras like the X-Pro2 to the X-T2, the X200, the X-E3, the X-T20, to consumer cameras like the X-A3 or X-M2. This process may take two or three years I guess.

I am really looking forward to this new sensor. Unfortunately it will take some time from the press release to the actual product. Maybe this sensor will be built into the X-Pro3 if it takes another four years to develop it. Maybe what's even more important: this breaks the felt monopoly of high quality sensors from Sony.

Hi everyone, from time to time I take a look at Heise Preisvergleich to see how much Fujifilm cameras and lenses cost. I looks like all the German dealers disappeared… X100T – dealers from Austria only X-T1 black – dealers from Austria only X-T10 black – dealers from Austria only XF35mm F1.4 R – only 1 dealer from Germany. All others from Austria. The dealer that used to sell Fujifilm cameras at the best prices, Digit Foto, does not sell Fujifilm any more. What happened to all these dealers?
