Not yet. It should be held sometime next month.

Indeed because if it's the same ''old'' 26mp, Fuji is doomed while Sony has updated all his sensors and most probably Nikon/Canon will follow this year or next one
Don't get me wrong , I love my X-T3 but I would be happier if they could decrease noise in DR shadow recovery using a new sensor tech

31st!
Yes, just saw that in a YouTube.
The 1st would have been LOTS better, waiting all MAY.
I suppose now the date is out there,some more leaks will come.

When you state a May announcement date and then set it to the 31st that's maybe not a great sign. The unfortunate reality might be that this thing isn't hitting anyone's hands until September. I hope I'm wrong but if that's going to be the case than that certainly changes my outlook on buying it. Which stinks.

Oh, for heaven’t sake, no one (except Fujifilm) knows the date, and you can count yourself among a large number of folks who are anxiously awaiting more information. I’m sure many of us would be very disappointed by a significant delay, but let’s wait for some real information before we freak out and decide that the sky is falling.
Honestly, the X-H1 is meeting my needs in most every way, so while I’m really looking forward to seeing (and purchasing) its successor, I’m willing to wait until I know what I’m buying. It’s not as if my photography is being held back in a major way while I await the new model. Perhaps your situation is different, but my sense is that you’re simply yet another a victim of GAS… WTTC.

Well of course earlier in May would be better - but if the rumoured date of 31 May is true, we just have to suck it up and keep waiting, there's no point working ones self up into a frenzy over a camera announcement date.
We're all hungry for news and details of what Fujifilm have been working on, but we can't make it come any quicker than Fujifilm will allow it to. No doubt more details will be leaked prior to the summit, and those will just have to satisfy your camera lust for now.

So, you have fully committed yourself to spending what will no doubt be a substantial amount of money on a camera based on nothing but rumours, but not if the announcement is three weeks later than you hoped. An interesting perspective.

While no doubt there will be some improvements with these new releases, and they will be great cameras, I am not seeing anything that would cause Canon, Sony or Nikon users to leave their ships. In other words, is there anything here that grows the Fuji audience?
That's a valid question, one I'm sure Fujifilm is hoping they can answer in the affirmative. It looks like they're covering the bases that they didn't last time, as in debuting their new flagship body with their new CPU and sensor. The gang all seems to be here in terms of greater resolution as in 40MP/8K, stacked sensor for what is presumed to be super fast readout, hopefully far better autofocus esp. in video.
More and updated lenses, greater third party support. Fujifilm seems to be ticking all the boxes in terms of answering to criticisms. Time will tell.
If the X-H2 can give me legit AF in video and stills along with a stop less noise in low light, then there would be no reason for me to switch systems, and a compelling argument to make for buying into/switching to it.
And maybe proper antennae and software for their app to work correctly :-D
There possibly could be,depends on the individual needs.
Consider the costly model, just under 2500 $$$, it competes with R6 and A7iv.Nikon is cheaper but not in the race.
Fuji has higher resolution, far superior video and FASTer fps.Throw in all the simulations and probably better WR.Xtrans sensor.
A big point for some people with other glass it iis the cheapest way to get into 8K.Adapters dont cost a lot, glass does.
Lots of choices and many reasons to stay or go.

I read that both are new but I didn't read any rumours about both being stacked designs. Do you have a link to that rumour?
The original rational was that stacked designs were costly and Fujifilm was not going to be able to bring a stacked sensor to their sub $1 K USD bodies. So they would bring out a non-stacked design to be shared across their entire range of bodies and a stacked design just for that uber-expensive X-H type body.
The stacked sensor design would be a low volume / high priced model like the X-Pro series with very little discounting because it was going to be a low production run.
While the non-stacked sensor design would follow the old style Fujifilm strategy of reskinning the senor/processor across their entire model range to keep volumes high and production costs low.

Depending on AF-C tracking performance of the new camera and the performance of the roadmap XF150-600mm lens - who they can attract are the long lens shooters - the guys and girls who spend 1over $10K for those exotic primes from the big three to shoot their Birds in flight and Planes in flight.
400mm is just too short for those people and the AF-C tracking performance of the current bodies is behind the competition.
Yes - if you are highly skilled or just lucky one can make the current Fujifilm cameras work for you but you need less skill and luck when you shoot with the competition right now.

AFAIK Fujirumors has yet to confirm which of the two upcoming sensors will be stacked. Many of us assume at least one will be stacked with regards to the stacked sensor development announcement Fuji made during the last X-Summit, but truth is we have yet to get any specific information regarding their specs (outside of MP count and the fact that both should be new designs).

PASM and C1...C4 X-S10 Styles with screen on top like GFX?
Whether it'll have PASM or dials remains to be seen. Although a top screen is pretty much a given seeing as the X-H1 has one
