Here is a list of specs send to me by an anonmyous source (thanks). The specs in green are those already rumored previously here on FR & confirmed by this source, while the specs in red are new.
24MP
dual SD
more than 200 AF points (2/3 are PDAF)
Hybrid Viewfinder as X100T
1/8000 shutter speed
1/250 flash sync speed
no tilt LCD

The announcement:
The upcoming X-Pro2 is very likely the real reason behind the huge rebates on basically All X-gear. The savings go up to $900 — LIST OF SAVINGS HERE… and we now have one more confirmation, that the X-Pro2 is about to come.
After debunking fake rumors (not sharedhereonFR), that the X-Pro2 will be announced at CES, our sources said back in October here, that the X-Pro2 will be announced on January 15. This date (Janaury 15) has now been confirmed, in public, by Magnum Photos. After leaking two X-Pro2 images, Magnum justifies the removal of the photographs as follows:
“Embargo till Jan. 15 2016due to contract with the camera manufacturer“.

According to a new source, Fujifilm already shipped some X70’s to selected photographers for testing.
The X70 rumor is one of the oldest here on Fujirumors. A few years ago Fuji already was close to make it, but they stopped its development and put plans on ice.
If this rumor is correct, than Fujifilm not only decided to make it, but it’s development is actually at an advanced stage and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it become real within the first half of 2016 (but I have no rumors about it’s release date for now).
According to the rumors, the X70 is an EVF-less & smaller version of the X100 line.
I’ve started to write this blog post over and over again. But I don’t know, how to put together and exciting news like the first leaked images taken with an X-Pro2 along with the a terrible massacre of Paris.
I feel shocked, as all of you out there. When horribly things like these happen, I’m used to close myself in silence and think to the victims, their families and their friends. For me, it’s difficult to talk about it with people close to me…. imagine how hard it is to write something on Fujirumors.
But I also know that many of you guys out there are PRO photographers. And I know that your aim is to photograph life as it is, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the dreadful. Some of you might even risk their own life to get close to the truth and capture it with their camera.
Sometimes a photographer just has to be right there, where history is happening. And in these days, history is writing one of its terrible chapters in Paris. And it’s my job to tell you that there is somebody with a Fujifilm X-Pro2 documenting it.
The 2 images have been shared in public here at magnumphotos. The EXIF data can be seen here. It really seems to be an X-Pro2 with 18mm lens. These images are part of a magnumphoto section, dedicated to the terrorists attacks in France. You can see all the pictures here.
if you have an account at magnumphotos, you can pruchase & donwload the high-res samples. And that’s what a FR reader did. The FR reader says (thanks):
The mangum images of paris are 6000×4000. If they really are from a xpro-2, that would make 24MP certain. The time in the exif is 21:23:45 however. That is clearly wrong, as at that time in november it’s pitch black in Paris [21:23 in Toyko is 13:23 in Paris].
I won’t comment the images. All I can say today is, be strong, my French friends.
