Fujifilm X-PRO2 rumors

How many generations of the Sony 24 MP sensor have their been? There are clearly at LEAST three primary variants, and maybe more.

 

This is hard to say, because your definition of a generation is different to the yours.

 

This sensor (X-Pro2/A6300) is probably around the 5th 24MP sensor. 

 

But for Sony it's a new generation once they improve on the manufacturing process. If Aluminum 180nm is Exmor gen 1, then the move to copper (90nm) is gen 2. I think we didn't see this one on the big sensors, but moved directly to gen 3: 65nm copper. The goal is to reduce the wiring depth, get better fill factor and allow for greater angles of incidence.

 

The next generations/idea would be, to increase dynamic range and saturation (as well as sensitivity) by increasing the pixel full well capacity. Since most of this is happening in the >800nm wavelength region, it gets the shortcut NIR, for near infrared. How much real life impact this would/could make, I can't tell

 

Next gen is BSI. and then combine BSI with NIR and/or going into 3D - stacked Sensors. 

 

I think you can look those things up too somewhere.

Is there any truth to supposing news that Fujifilm X-Pro2 Release Date Delayed Until March, 2016 due to higher than expected volume of pre-orders ?

 

Highly possible. I actually gave myself till june 2016 before I get my pre-order delivered. That way, I don't get stressed out. Hopefully nothing goes wrong with 1st batches.

we will never know unless you are an insider, but, suppose there is a firmware based problem, and the camera needs a few more days to be ready, the best way to justify its delay is to say that since there were SO MANY pre orders they will delay the release of the camera.

 

Cameras will be delivered on a first come first served base and if there were too little cameras there would have been a first wave followed by a second one. Saying that the delay is caused by wanting to provide the cameras to all the pre orders at the same time, sounds, to me , a little bit of an excuse.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
