Will Fujifilm Add IBIS to a Future X-T Camera?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 5, 2017

In an interview not long ago Fujifilm proclaimed “XF mount is not compatible with IBIS” because it would affect image quality due to the X-mount being too small for the sensor to move within, which is why I have largely ignored the rumors about the Fujifilm X-T2S/X-T3. If Fujifilm decided to produce this camera, it would almost certainly require some digital vignetting correction at the very least.

Sensors today could easily compensate for light vignetting with an embedded lens profile, but when pushing an image more than a few stops there would be some additional uneven noise in the image. This might not be an issue for many, but it would represent reduced image quality. This system would also have problems with glass that is not well corrected optically and could have issues with adapted glass regardless of image circle since the possibly uneven vignette would have to be corrected in post.
