Will the Fujifilm X-T6 and Canon EOS R7 Mark II face off in the 2026 APS-C Showdown?

Rumor on the street is that Fujifilm is also readying their X-T6 for release later this year, rumored for September. This will follow Canon's expected release of Canon's R7 Mark II, expected to be put sometime in the first half of this year. This will set off an interesting comparison between two APS-C contenders.

I’m not sure why “partially stacked” sensors or BSI are treated as such a big advantage. Canon has shown that comparable performance is possible even with traditional FSI technology — the R6 Mark III sensor doesn’t seem slower than the A7 V’s.
