I think that we could see an X-H2 with the higher-res sensor in late 2021 or early 2022 (depends on how their yields are for the sensors). Would be the same bigger body, IBIS, 12-bit video, and sell for $2099. Then the X-T5 would come out later with the same sensor, keeping the specs of the X-T4.

Why would the XT5 have the same specs as the XT4?! Truth is there’d be no point to it unless it was at least as good if not better than the XH2, at which point sales of the XH2 would fall off a cliff and history would repeat itself. I just can’t see how there is possibly room for both camera lines - there arguably wasn’t when the XH1 appeared, and now with the XT line bagging IBIS there’s even less.

Yes I get it, for some people the larger grip and quieter shutter is important... but that’s just some people. I see no evidence at all that it’s enough people to warrant a whole extra camera.

No - I meant the X-T5 would come out with the new 43MP sensor that was in the X-H2.

Just speculation. I give even odds that there will be no X-H2.
