Fujifilm Big Announcement at 02:00 AM New York Time (08:00 Berlin Time)

Hm… I must admit, after an extremely busy summer with 170 articles and rumors written in the last 68 days (as well as thousands of emails), I feel just a little bit worn out ;) .

But don’t worry, a dangerous mix of excitement and coffee is pushing me towards the grand final, on September 7, when we will officially see…

  • Fujifilm X-E3
  • Fujinon XF 80mm F2.8 Macro
  • Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8
  • new lens roadmaps
  • new firmware updates

I don’t expect more, but hey, it’s Fujifilm, so surprises are still possible… with the X-T2S high on the “surprise list”.

However, I owe you still the time, so here it is:

Fujifilm will announce it all at 02:00 AM New York time (08:00 AM Berlin Time).

New Fujifilm X and G Roadmap and Firmware Tomorrow, X-E3 Specs Confirmed (release September 28) + X RAW Studio software development

Regular FujiRumors won’t be surprised, since we leaked the X-E3 specs already. But it’s great to have confirmation from Japan, as usual nokishita.

On Twitter, nokishita also mentions:

With a new product is released new firmware on X and G mounting new roadmap and X-series cameras also.”

Regarding the firmware, we already told you that the X-Pro2 for example will get 4K video and tethering.

  • X-E 3
  • 24.3 million pixels “X-Trans CMOS III”
  • X-Processor Pro
  • 3 type 104 million dots touch panel liquid crystal
  • 4K movie shooting
  • X series first Bluetooth connection compatible
  • “Touch Function” (Japanese name unknown) loaded. You can recall the preset function by flick operation up and down, left and right
  • Size: 121.3 x 73.9 x 42.7 mm
  • Weight: 337 g
  • Color: Black / Silver
  • Kit: Body · XF 18-55 mm lens kit
  • Expected release date: September 28, 2017
  • Mass store sales price (tax included): Body 123,660 yen, lens kit 166,860 yen
  • Metal hand grip MHG-XE 3 and bottom leather case BLC-XE 3 will also be released on September 28

And more high resolution images via digicame-info, including some info:

– X Mount Lens New Road Map
– G Mount Lens New Road Map
– New firmware of X series camera
– X RAW Studio software development

When X – E 3 is a black body, the impression is quite different from silver body. XF 80 mm F 2.8 is expensive as a lens of this class, and the size seems to be large, but it seems that it can be expected for that much.

Also, as rumored, a new roadmap for X mounts is likely to be made public as well. I am also looking forward to the new lens roadmap of G mount.

In addition, since the above price is the price of a mass merchandise shop with points, it seems that at the lowest price store it will be cheaper by 10% than this.
