Not looked at Fuji for a long time but was in London at the weekend and dropped into the Fuji store for a look around. The X-H2 has 40mp, correct? But when I look at the dpr sample scene they look soft and lacking detail? For 40mp was expecting a lot more? There are no X-T5 samples in the test scene so far, so wondering if dpr has a bad camera/lens?

Be interested in user feedback, as it might make a cool second body but if the results are typical, can't see much point over the 26mp options. There was a lot of interest in the x100 camera when I was in the shop!

and samples but apologies I'm not sold on the 40mp sensor and will wait to see if they introduce a new 26mp sensor. I get the feeling its showing some sort of diffraction in a lot of the images but can't be certain to know if its that or something else that causing the effect.

Of course there is diffraction.  Every optical system with an aperture is diffraction limited at some point - period.  It is simple physics.  The 26 MP APSC is diffraction limited by f8.  The 40 MP is diffraction limited at about f6.8 - f7.2.  A 90 MP FF will be diffraction limited at f6.8 - 7.2 since a 90 MP FF is the same pixel density as a 40 MP FF.

Canon in their APSC has gone to 33 MP.  Fuji has gone to 40.  Nikon doesn't really support APSC.  I expect Sony will probably follow suite with higher MP APSC.  Of course Fuji has a brand spanking new 26 MP sensor but it basically for speed.
