dpreview published the Full Review of the Fujifilm X-T10. Here an excerpt

On paper, offerings from other brands like Sony, with the A6000, Nikon with the D5500 and Olympus with the O-MD E-M10 might seem more appealing or capable. When it comes to video, all of the above mentioned are more capable, and the same can generally be said for continuous focus modes outside of single-point AF-C. But from my experience having shot with all of these cameras, the X-T10 is hands down the most pleasurable of the bunch to use.

[…]

If I were told today that I had to pick between the Fujifilm X-T10 and a Sony a6000, I’d have a very difficult time. […] The A6000 is certainly more capable in more situations than the Fujifilm. This is especially true when it comes to video capture, continuous face detection, subject tracking and AF in general.

But the X-T10, in my experience, is more pleasurable to shoot with. It may not out-perform the Sony in AF or video, but it does offer what I found to be a better-weighted design and better overall build-quality, with film simulation modes that are quite useful, classic stylings, a higher-res EVF, logically-placed control points, far better looking out-of-camera JPEGs and better options for in-camera Raw processing. Not to mention, it has a massive arsenal of traditional photographic primes at its disposal.

Kaizen Again? Fuji X-T1 will get another Firmware update this year! (AS) – Which New Features would you like to get?

Share

 photo FW 5_zpsrmoiwkpz.jpg

According to an anonymous source (thanks!) the Fujifilm X-T1 Kaizen love is not over. In fact, Fujifilm plans to release another Firmware update this year (probably called “Firmware 5”).

Which new features will it bring? This is still unknown, but I hope some kind source can help me out with this soon. In the meantime, you can start dreaming in the comments and in this FXF thread.

To this source: Thanks a lot…. and about the other tidbit you shared, I need a bit of time to check it. If you want, you can contact me via email (fujirumor [at ] gmail [dot] com) to discuss about it (you can create a fake email account, if you want). But even if you use your personal email, I can guarantee you’ll remain 100% anonymous.

If you like the rumor, then feel free to share it on your website (and put a link back to FR)… and if you think it’s just the usual BS (as every rumor I share), just ignore it. Nobody forces you to continuously copy&paste and discuss my BS rumors on your websites (mostly without any link back to FR).

Ok, now I hope I can confirm the rumor ASAP… and any help is appreciated, thanks.
