Message to an Anonymous Source with Nick Name, who recently shared some good stuff :)

I’ve been contacted by an anonymous source with nick name, who shared correct information in the past. And since I don’t know how to contact it, I have to do it via FujiRumors blog. I hope you don’t mind.

To the source:

Yes, I always have questions about it… and at the moment especially one (1) question. But as you might understand, I can’t make this question in public via FujiRumors. I’d really appreciate if you could contact me via email instead of rumor box, so we can discuss it.

If you want to talk more with me, then I think that writing blog posts on FujiRumors in order to talk to each other is not really the best way. And moreover, when it comes to delicate stuff like rumors I’m working on, these things have to happen behind the scenes.

You could use your private email (which, of course, I would keep 100% confidential). Or some sources created a fake email account for this purpose. But also Direct Messages on Twitter and Facebook could be a way to talk to me… or even Skype if you prefer.

If you decide to use the rumor box, that’s perfectly fine and I’m very greatful, but I won’t be able to ask questions or talk to you. Just drop me the information you have, with a note what I can share or not.

Up to you.

In any case, thanks for sharing, and I hope you understand that it could be more efficient for us, if we find a way to talk directly… I feel the FujiRumors blog is not the proper way to talk to each other.

According to an anonymous source with nick-name (thanks), the XF100-400 will be announced on January 15 (along with the Fujifilm X-Pro2, with its combined ISO/Shutter dial a la Pentax Spotmatic).

Always according to this source, it should cost about $/€1,800… 100 more, 100 less ;)

Up to you to the the grain of salt or not ;)

The internal Fuji roadmap that you can see below, says that the XF100-400 will be available in March.

Fujifilm X-Pro2 :: ISO Dial, Yes or No? Here is the answer… and it could be a Pretty Cool Solution :-) :: SRP

Will this be the ISO dial solution of the X-Pro2?

One of the big questions regarding the X-Pro2 is: will it have an ISO dial? Looking at the FR-Poll, it’s clear that most FR-readers would like one.

Loading ...

Well, it seems that Fuji listened one more time to our preferences (did you know they read us?), and will put an ISO dial on the X-Pro2… at least according to a source, who was right in the past.

But where will Fuji place it?

I asked the source, if Fuji chose the design solution of the Leica M6, with an angled dial. But it doesn’t seem so. The source said, the solution should look more like the one used for the Pentax Spotmatic camera.

If this is correct, this means there could be a little window on the Shutter dial, where you can see (and adjust) the ISO value. You can see it here… and I have to say that, if true, I actually much prefer it over the angled Leica M6 dial.

I tell you, it’s really hard to get on X-Pro2 rumors. But I’ll do my best, fire off some emails to trusted sources and see if they can confirm the shutter/ISO dial. In the meantime, take the grain of salt.

Organic Sensor: On Feb.1, Panasonic will talk about an Ultra Low Noise 120dB+ (!!) Dynamic Range organic sensor!

_ _ _

Back in June 2013, Panasonic & Fujfilm announced, that they were developing an organic CMOS sensor, which, amongst the others should be capable of:

– industry’s highest dynamic range of 88dB
– 1.2 times higher sensitivity than conventional sensors to capture clear images even in low light
– range of incident angle expanded to 60 degrees for faithful color reproduction

But since then, we didn’t hear anything about this almost mythical organic sensor. The last thing I’ve heard from sources, was that Fujifilm and Panasonic were having problems due to too much heat being generated and high battery drain. And 43rumors said the sensor is stil 2 or 3 years to go.

Will it ever become true? I don’t know. Many of us also started thinking, that Fuji and Panasonic completely dropped its development… but maybe that’s not the case.

In fact, on February 1st, at the 2016 IEEE International solid-state circuits conference, Panasonic is giving a talk about an “over 120dB Dynamic Range Ultra Low Noise Organic CMOS sensor”.

So, if this is the development of the same organic sensor that Fuji & Panasonic announced back in 2013, then it means that not only they didn’t drop plans on it, but they were even able to improve its performance, boosting its dynamic range from amazing 88dB to astonishing 120dB+.

I know many of us just started salivating, but we better be careful with this information. It could still be a pretty long way off, before we’ll see it implemented in a Fuji/Panasonic camera (if ever). But in any case, on the 1st of February, we should all listen carefully at what Panasonic has to tell us.

thx to the FR-reader for the link :)

Fujifilm Medium Format Rumor: Here is the answer to one of the 7 Crucial MF Questions ! (Source Right in the Past).

November 23, 2015
Rumors
54 Comments

The FUJIFILM GF670

Today we might have found the answer to the 2^nd most voted of our 7 crucial Medium Format questions:

According to a source, who was right in the past (thanks), Fujifilm is right now putting lots of R&D into creating a complete new interchangeable lenses Medium Format camera system (so no fixed lens MF).

Of course, take the grain of salt. This is still Not really the Medium Format Rumor Breakthrough we are waiting for, since, until now, no trusted source confirmed that Fuji is really working on it!

And while I’m dazzled by this rumor, I know that a humble enthusiast photographer like me is probably not the target of such a camera, and it would be out of my budget anyway (not even tax deduction for teachers buying cameras :( ).

But I believe that an interchangeable lenses Medium Format Fuji could find its niche amongst PRO’s and turn out to be a profitable business for Fujifilm.

Now, I have no idea how much this camera would cost, but if it was priced somewhere between the Pentax 645D and the Pentax 645Z digital MF cameras, then the MF-Fuji might even become Fujifilm’s new golden egg laying goose (this, and the Hello Kitty Instax, of course :) ).

It’s hard to get on MF rumors, really hard… but it’s not a Mission Impossible. So stay tuned on FR via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter,

I’ll try to get a confirmation by trusted sources ASAP… since then, take the grain of salt, and then start dreaming :)
