I liked Fujifilm’s EXR technology in cameras like the X10 and I’m curious about the high point of the EXR line. Across all Fujifilm EXR cameras, which model(s) used the largest EXR sensor format, and what size was it? Also, which EXR sensor offered the largest pixel size (or best chance of larger pixels for low-light use)?

The first generation of EXR sensors were SuperCCD EXR and produced in 1/2.3" and 1/1.6" sizes. When Fuji switched to CMOS, they introduced the EXR CMOS in 2/3" and 1/2.3" sizes. The largest being the 2/3" sensor which is present in the X10.
EXR cameras all had EXR initially in their name, so they are easy to identify:
- F200 EXR
- S200 EXR
- F70 EXR
- F80 EXR
- Z800 EXR
- F300 EXR. This is also the first camera with on-sensor Phase-Detect AF.
Then, EXR CMOS cameras also used the same naming, except when starting with the letter X:
- HS20 EXR
- F550 EXR
- F500 EXR
- Z900 EXR
- F600 EXR
- X10 (2/3")
- F605 EXR
- F505 EXR
- Z1000 EXR
- HS30 EXR
- HS25 EXR
- F770 EXR
- F750 EXR
- F660 EXR
- F800 EXR
- F850 EXR
- X-S1
- XF1 (2/3")
- HS50 EXR
- F900 EXR. Introduced Phase-Detect on an EXR CMOS sensor.
- F1000 EXR
The larger sensors and pixel sizes were effectively used in the X10 and XF1 which shared the same 12 megapixels 2/3" EXR-CMOS sensor.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The largest EXR sensor format Fujifilm used was 2/3-inch. According to the community answers, this appeared in cameras such as the Fujifilm X10 and later also the XF1 and X-S1.
Earlier SuperCCD EXR models were smaller, in 1/2.3-inch and 1/1.6-inch formats, while later EXR CMOS models were mainly 1/2.3-inch or 2/3-inch. So if you want the largest EXR sensor, look for the 2/3-inch EXR models.
For pixel size, the answer follows the same general rule: larger pixels come from combining a larger sensor with a lower pixel count. The community answers point to the larger-sensor 2/3-inch EXR cameras as the best candidates. In practice, that means the 2/3-inch EXR models such as the X10 are the ones most associated with the largest EXR pixels and better low-light potential within the EXR family.
