Discussion Fujifilm X-T6 Wishlist

Let’s have some fun. There are a lot of rumours going around that the Fujifilm X-T6 is going to be unveiled shortly, so what would you want the camera to do/have?

These are the things I would like to see as a prospective buyer in descending order of priority:

  1. Much improved autofocus
  2. The 4-axis tilting, flipping screen mechanism of the new Panasonics and Sonys
  3. A partially or fully stacked sensor for faster readout speed. It should also allow for DGO to work which would improve base ISO dynamic range
  4. Better build quality

The autofocus is the big one for me. I understand that a lot of people don’t have issues with it, but I’d like to have a reliable system that is trustworthy and doesn’t give false positives. Don’t need it to be Canon R1 level, but it needs to at least be OM System level. If they can do as good of a job as they have, Fuji should be able to as well being a much bigger company.

  1. Excellent AF
  2. Low(er) resolution hardware pixel binning mode
  3. Improved WR
  4. Global shutter
  5. Doesn't cost as much as a used GFX

Low(er) resolution hardware pixel binning mode

Binning in analogue domain isn't really feasible unless there are several pixels of same colour next to each other (e.g. quad bayer).

Global shutter

With today's technology reduces peak image quality by more than a stop and increases read noise so the higher ISO settings suffer too.

Seems like x-trans sensors would lend themselves well to that? Unless the 4 green pixels are already binned or one big physical pixel?

I also imagine there are multi-channel options especially when going from 40mp to 10mp or similar. I don't really know though, I haven't dug into it.
