Digicame-info was able to get more informations about the new roadmap. Here are the lenses:
– XF 16-55mm F2.8
– XF 50-140mm F2.8
– XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6
– Large-diameter wide-angle lens
– Super-telephoto lens (200mm or more?)
The X30 will come in February/March.
He also confirms what I already told you here: the black X100S will come in January.

Hi
I’ve been told by new (and still unconfirmed) sources that the weather sealed X will have faster AF than the X-E2 (which features a hybrid AF system, phase detection + contrast AF).
At the same time an anonymous source simply wrote in the rumor box: “don’t dismiss the digital ST as rumor, it’s coming soon & brings a few new facets with it!”
If true, the question now is: what makes the AF on the weather sealed X even better than the hybrid AF system on the X-E2? It’s your time to make your guess.
But for now, please take it with a grain of salt.
When will it be announced?
After the leak of digicame info, I think that Fuji’s main course of the meal at the CES in Las Vegas will be the XF 56 f/1.2 lens (and maybe the black X100S?)… and the weather sealed X could be announced a bit later, maybe at the CP+ (February) or at a special event later in January.
Here are the specs of the weather sealed X until now (from trusted, new and also anonymous sources):
Stay tuned, and if there is anyone out there who knows something that could make my job here easier, feel free to share with me. Use the rumor box to contact me so your identity will remain secret… just give yourself a fake name so that I can recognize you in future.
cheers
Digicameinfo reports that Fuji will unveil many new products next week right before the start of the las Vegas CES show (I told you on the 7th of November here there the lens could be announced on January 6th). These are the new products:
– XF56mm F1.2 R
– FinePix XP70
– FinePix S1
– FinePix S9200
– FinePix S9400W
Save your money for the new XF lens ;)
Oh, and don’t worry, the weather sealed X will come in January too… but appartentely just a bit later.
Any help is appreaciated. Feel free to contact me.
cheers
the weather sealed X could have a FujicaST-like design
Hi
I’m glad to hear that my buddy Ale of mirrorlessrumors can confirm here rumors spread on FR already back in October: the weather sealed X will come in January.
I know, many expected the newly released 10-24 to be already weather sealed. But it isn’t. So some readers started to doubt rumors posted on FR.
Therefore I’m happy to read that also mirrorlessrumors can confirm it now… it will come, in January!
I tell you, if a weather sealed X is what you’ve waited for, then start to save your money.
If there is anyone out there who can tell me more about the weather sealed X (or any other X-gear), please contact me at fujirumor@gmail.com or also completely anonymously via rumor box.
Here are the specs until now:
cheers
For a very short time the entire press-release of the XF10-24 was online at photographymonthly. The bad news: I was at work so I wasn’t able to read it. All that remains are a few lines at the news-reader silobreaker.com. Anyway, a leaked press-release is a strong indicator of the fact that an official announcement is imminent!
I can’t tell you when exactly it will be announced… all I can say is that I’ll be there, ready to do some live blogging for you!
Follow Fujirumors on facebook and twitter and you won’t miss the announcement.
thanks to the FR-reader who send me the link to silobreaker.com!
stay tuned,
