After nearly four years, the Fujifilm X-T5 is finally set to get a successor. The latest rumors suggest at least two new features for the Fujifilm X-T6, following earlier rumors that had already pointed to a new 40-megapixel X-Trans sensor and a more modern processor.

Earlier this year, the first details about the successor to the Fujifilm X-T5 ($1,899 on Amazon) had already been leaked. FujiRumors has now learned two new details about Fujifilm’s next-generation mirrorless camera from a reportedly reliable source.

First, the camera is said to introduce a brand-new film simulation characterized by particularly deep, rich colors. Since film simulations are one of the most sought-after features of Fujifilm cameras, it’s hardly surprising that Fujifilm is stepping up its game in this area. In addition, the manufacturer is also said to be redesigning the control dials on the top of the camera, making them more comfortable to use compared to the Fujifilm X-T5.

It is unclear whether Fujifilm will, as before, include three control dials to directly adjust the sensor’s sensitivity (ISO), shutter speed, and exposure compensation, or whether Fujifilm will instead use one of the control dials to directly select film simulations. So far, there is no truly reliable information available regarding the Fujifilm X-T6’s features, price, or launch date.

If earlier rumors are correct, Fujifilm will include a new sixth-generation 40-megapixel X-Trans sensor, which, as usual, will be in the APS-C format, as well as an X-Processor 6. The sensor is said to be stabilized and, thanks to a multi-shot mode, is reportedly capable of capturing images with a resolution of 200 megapixels by combining multiple photos. The camera is also expected to support 8K video recording and feature a fully articulating display. As usual, such early rumors should be taken with a grain of salt.
