X200 rumor
Hi all
2014 could be the year of the X200. Previous rumors (xjrumo) said it would be full frame.
Now, a new source (thanks a lot) shared more details with us. Here is what it wrote.
“X200 is a total upgrade of X100/X100s with tilt screen, fixed new lens, and bright new EVF (better than X100s but not as much as X-T1). 24 MP X trans sensor, very much improved AF (compared to X100S) with wider detection area [admin: wider phase detection pixels area]. Quite an exciting time !!”
Sure, take it with a grain of salt. The source contacted me via rumor box, so it’s anonymous, but it gave itself a nickname. I appreciate that, as it allows me to check the reliability of new sources in future.
So, if there is anyone out there who can already confirm it, don’t hesitate to contact FR.
Oh, and after the success of the X-T1, let’s try it again… here is the rumored specs list :-)
