Not only the XQ2, but also the Fujifilm X-A2 (with new 16-50 lens) could be announced tomorrow. Although the rumor comes from a 100% anonymous source, I can well imagine that Fujifilm will announce both cameras together. (btw, thanks for sharing)

There will be a live blogging here on FR. I don’t know the time, but usually Fujiflm announces new gear around midnight New York time (6 AM in Paris).

A source, who was right in the past (thanks), just told us that the Fujifilm XQ2 will be announced tomorrow, January 15th.

Normally Fuji annouces new gear at around midnight NY-time. The live blogging is part of my service for you on announcement days and I’ll be ready also this time… for the… Fujifilm XQ2. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see it coming along with the Fujifilm X-A2, but no rumors here for now.

Take a look at the Fujifilm XQ1 in your country. You could find some great deals on it: [shopcountry 17996].

Fujifilm X-A2 is coming too… with second generation of XC lenses (OIS II)!

You know I keep saying that there will be two X-series cameras soon, a fixed lens one and a MILC.

The fixed lens one will the the XQ2.

… and the Fujifilm X-A2 is coming too. The information has just now been leaked by digicame-info, who also says that there will be an upgrade to the XC 16-50 and XC 50-230 (OIS II).

So what about the cheaper X-T1?

Here is a clarification I need to make, please read carefully.

While I was working to find out which camera the mysterious entry level MILC would be, I’ve received the rumor about the cheaper X-T1. And, although the source said it will come “this year”, I thought that this is finally the camera we were looking for, and I suggested that it could come early 2015.

But I have to be 100% unequivocal when I quote sources, and in fact the “cheaper X-T1” source never said it will come “early 2015” but just “this year”. Now the quote of the source is 100% clear!

So the state of the rumors is:

COMING SOON

  • XQ2

  • X-A2

THIS YEAR (2015)

  • Cheaper X-T1

ORIGINAL POST

Who follows FR regularly will already know that Fujifilm has (according to FR-rumors) two new X-cameras in the pipeline for the next few months: a fixed lens one and an entry level MILC. Now, the fixed lens one could be the XQ2, the successor of the smallest X-series camera on the market.

And what about the MILC?

Well, according to an anonymous source with “nick name”, who was right in the past, it will be a cheaper version of Fujifilm’s best selling X-series camera, the Fujifilm X-T1.

Please keep in mind that, although I try to be as accurate as possible (83% correct rumors in 2014), you should take rumors that do not come from trusted sources, with a grain of salt… including this one.

So what, would this be a smart move or not? I’m really curious to read what you think about it in the comments.

“Fujifilm XQ2” name registered at the Chinese MIIT

Do you remember the rumor shared last year, which said that there will be 3 non-interchangeable lenses by the end of this winter? The X100T and X30 arrived… but there was still one missing. Well, apparently the third one in the bunch will be the Fujifilm XQ2. The name has been registered at the Chinese MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China)

The XQ1 was a BIG flop. So tell us in the comments, how should the Fujifilm XQ2 look like to guarantee its success?

P.S.: I remind you that, according to my sources, there will be one more MILC entry level camera soon, too.
