Can X mount and X series lenses can support a larger sensor? Johncaz investigated this question, and you can read his tests here.

From the conclusions:

“I could be wrong in my assumptions, so if you know better, then please leave a comment below and enlighten me, but this difference between the Samyang and Fujinon lenses is proof enough for me that the X-mount can handle a larger sensor. I’m not sure about a full frame, but I would bet that a 1.2x crop factor sensor would be a perfect match.”

But tell me, what’s more important than the sensor size? Exactly, it’s to know how to make the best out of the camera you already own, no matter which sensor is inside! And today you can look deep into the secrets of the Fujifilm X-T1 thanks to Rico’s latest book “Fujifilm X-T1: 111 X-Pert Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Camera“!

It’s a must have… and a steal, since you can purchase it for just $12.

You can buy it also at AmazonUS, but just for Kindle and with DRM.

“X-PRO2: Smaller than X-PRO1, HVF + X-TRANS evolution” (dslrmagazine’s conclusions after talk with Fuji Manager at CP+)

Share

photo pro2_zpsgzmsj1fr.jpg

Let’s be clear… this is not really a rumor, but the conclusions of the Spanish site dslrmagazine (google translation) after having had a talk with the Fuji Manager at the CP+ in Japan. They tried to read “between the lines” of his statements, and came to the following conclusions:

1) HYBRID VIEWFINDER: The XF 35mmF2 looks a lot like the Leica Summicron-M 50mmF2 [admin: let’s just hope it won’t be that expensive!!!… even with the [shoplink 32741 ebay]terrfic price drop at cameraland right now on the 50mm Summicron APO[/shoplink], this lens is worth about 1/3 of my yearly teachers salary!!… though this version costs “just” $2,100 (discounted)]. But back to the XF 35mmF2: the compact size makes it perfect for cameras with Hybrid Viewfinder – ERGO: the X-PRO2 will feature a Hybrid Viewfinder. In the interview, the manager also said that customers demand to keep the X-PRO1 concept. DSLRmagazine thinks that this statement is another hint for an X-PRO2 with Hybrid Viewfinder.

2) MORE COMPACT: After the talk with the manager, DSLRmagazine concludes that the X-PRO2 will have the elegance and great operability of the Leica CL… it won’t be as small as the Leica CL, but smaller than the actual X-PRO1.

3) X-TRANS: It will have an evolution (not revolution) of the X-TRANS sensor.

4) Not X-PRO2 related, but the manager says that the 56 APD version isn’t really selling well. You can find a [shoplink 32731 ebay]BIG $300 price drop on the 56mmAPD at cameraland[/shoplink].

5) The X-M line is dead. Long live the X-A line!

At the end they make clear again, that these are just their suppositions after the talk with the manager. Of course, there is much more to read at dslrmagazine (google translation).

FujiRumors says: HVF is a must, X-Trans evoltutions sounds interesting… but smaller? What do you think? Should the X-PRO2 keep the X-PRO1 size or become smaller?

For Pros: Will you buy the Fujifilm GFX?

RUMOR: Downspec’d Fujifilm X-T1 to be called… X-T10 (NeS + SRP)

Share

photo X-T10 Mpckup_zps3ojft8nz.jpg

Back on the 12th of January I shared the rumor about a cheaper version of the X-T1. When I spread the rumor, some of you speculated that it could be called X-T10. Well, seems you were right, at least according to a New Source (NeS) and a Source who was right in the past (SRP).

So, Fujifilm X-T10… this could be the name of this downspec’d X-T1… and it sounds like this camera that is going to compete directly with the Olympus EM-10.

But tell me, are you excited by the idea of a cheaper version of the X-T1?

And now go, my fellow X-shooter and spread the word (+ quote the source ;) ).
