Recently Fujifilm confirmed that the Fujifilm X-E2 will get a new Firmware. They didn’t say anything about which features it will bring, though.

Well, according to a FR-reader, who participated at an X-T10 press-event with Fuji Malaysia in June and shared a comment here, the new firmware will give to the Fuji X-E2 the same AF-system already available in the Fuji X-T1 and Fuji X-T10.

The FR-reader also anticipated what has been recently unveiled by Fujifilm itself: the firmware is scheduled to come by the end of this year.

Tethering for Mac

I really hope this rumor, coming from a new source, is right: the long awaited Adobe tethered shooting plug-in will be available for download in August at the Adobe Exchange site.

In the meantime, FXF member SteveMcN was apparantly able to get the plug-in directly from Fujifilm via WeTransfer. He said he will check the plug-in and report back in this FXF Thread. If you don’t want to miss SteveMcN’s report, join the Fuji X Forum, click on this thread and select “Follow This Thread” to get an email notification, as soon as he has shared his findings.

Tethering for Windows

Windows users can purchase the HS-V5 software for tethered shooting in Europe at AmazonDE, AmazonUK, AmazonITA, AmazonFRA and AmazonESP… still not available in USA.

NOTE: Fujifilm already released a firmware update for the HS-V5 (ver. 1.1a). You can download it at Fuji’s site here.

Fujifilm really messed it up with the tethered shooting. Feel free to share your frustration here.

So it seems that another rumor (shared almost two months ago here) is right: the New Firmware for Fujifilm X-E2 will be released at the end of this year…. and this time it’s not just a rumor, but it’s Fujifilm itself that confirms to Steven via email (he then shared it on Twitter here).

They did not say which features will come with the new firmware.

It was already known that Fujifilm will launch a new firmware (thanks to Fuji France here). However, this time Fujifilm confirms also the rumored release of late 2015.

According to an anonymous source, Fuji will announce a X series camera with an 1” sensor in the next few months (around September / October). It could have a fixed zoom lens with a range similar to the one of the Fujifilm X-S1, which has a 24-624mm zoom lens.

Sounds a lot like the Fujifilm X-S2, but this is not part of the rumor.

Anyway, will we soon have the first X-series camera featuring a 1” sensor?

To be clear, the grain of salt is mandatory with every rumor I share (especially anonymous rumors). Don’t take everything as a fact, just because my rumor hit rate is of almost 90% in 2015 – btw, many of them shared by anonymous sources.

I hope I will be able to confirm it via trusted source as soon as possible, and that I can say once again: “Hey, I told you” ;) .

An anonymous source told me that both, the XF100-400 and XF120mmF2.8 1:1 Macro, have been delayed.

The reason for the delay? The source said that Fuji was not fully satisfied with the IQ of the 100-400 and they want to improve it further. Also, Fuji was (and still is) very busy to satisfy the high demand on current WR lenses.

In the latest roadmap here, Fuji expected the XF100-400 to be available in March, and the XF120mm in May. The anonymous source did not share any new expected release date for now.
