_ _ _

Let’s start 2016 in the same way as 2015 ended: with lot’s of rumors :-) . So here are more X-Pro2 specs:

  • lossless RAW compression
  • 273 Focus Points
  • Improved Noise Reduction (sounds like we are going to get rid of waxy skin tones at high ISO in jpeg’s ;) )
  • Pixel Mapping
  • Grain Effect
  • New Menu Interface
  • The X-Pro2 will use Fujifilm NP-W126 batteries (for the best cheap 3rd party batteries, check out this post).
  • EXR III processor will get the much cooler name “X-processor”.

And just in case you had a good & fun time here on Fujirumors with all the rumors in the last months, feel free to support my rumor work on January 15, by purchasing the X-Pro2 using one of the links to stores I’ll share here on Fujirumors. You will not pay a singly penny more on your X-Pro2, but a small commission is valued back to Fujirumors.

Your support could allow me to keep this blog open also in 2016.

LEAKED: First Official Images of the Fujifilm X-E2s :: Specs? It’s all about the Firmware!

s black

Ok, this is the X-E2s… an X-E2 with an “s”marking and with a slightly different hand grip. And the hand grip might be already the only “hardware-improvement” compared to the X-E2 (still 16MP X-TransII sensor and EXR II Processor, no tilt screen)

The improvements are Firmware based, like the Electronic shutter, New AF-system and Classic Chrome (CC already available alsoin X-E2. X-E2s will not have new X-Pro2 Acros film simulation).

 photo successor_zpsmhv5by5w.png

According to our sources, the Fujfilm X-E2s will feature the same 16MP X-TransII sensor of its predecessor, the X-E2.

Always according to FujiRumors sources, the most relevant changes/improvements compared to the X-E2 will be firmware based.

It will be announced along with the X-Pro2 and the XF100-400, on the 15th of January.

I hear you are scared now about your long rumored X-E2 Firmware update. Don’t worry. I have multiple confirmation from sources and even Fujifilm itself said that it will come in… mid-January. Just read this post.

It just looks great :)

ATTENTION: The Russian site dphotoworld.net took our X PRO 2 leaked images and changed the watermarks. Many sites like a major rumor site, than linked to the russian copycat site.

I want to let you know that as usual I „removed“ small insignificant pics form the original image to spot copycat sites. I will soon post the original picture to proof that this images were taken from FR as they have the design change I made :)

The major rumor site so far has not answered to our request to change the link. I hope he will do it soon.

If you want, watch at the Twitter timeline, and you’ll see who posted first ;)
