Hi all

Today I have a fresh rumor about the Fujifilm X-PRO2. A new source (thanks!) just told us that the Fujifilm X-PRO2 will be capable to shoot 4K video! Of course, the grain of salt is mandatory for now, at least until I get some confirmation from tursted sources.

So it’s time to update the FujiRumors X-PRO2 specs list. As always, feel free to spread the word… and to quote FujiRumors as the source ;).

“Higher MP is on the way, X-Trans very important, key challenge is how to improve AF.” Fuji Manager T. Iida

Share

photo focusasd_zpsggbyae22.jpg

Fuji Manager Toshihisa Iida confirmed at dpreview that Fujifilm will launch a higher MP sensor camera. And it seems he confirms also rumors saying that it will keep the X-Trans CFA in order to maximize resolution:

“We think that our 16MP X-Trans sensor delivers a higher effective resolution than conventional Bayer 16MP sensors so if we do go to higher pixel counts we expect the same thing. […] our lenses are currently waiting for higher resolution sensors and processors.

[…]

And of course focusing is a challenge – we need a faster focusing system. And also movie quality. This is one of the criticisms of the X-series and we need to solve this issue. […] High-speed readout is the key [to avoid moiree in video].”

Toshihisa Iida also expects CSC cameras to catch up with the advantages of DSLRs (focus speed/lens lineup/overall responsiveness) within 2 or 3 years. He also says that

“[…] mirrorless cameras are finally taking off in the west. This is great news for the industry. Last year we saw more than 40% growth in this product segment in terms of value and that’s good for the whole industry.”

It’s a very interesting read… make sure to check it out at dpreview.

Meyer Görlitz announces the NOCTURNUS 35mm F0.95 X-mount lens (€2000).

Share

photo fast_zpsowbzt9ko.jpg

Just recently you could read here that Meyer Optik will release the Trioplan f2,8/100mm for Fuji X-in October. Well, it seems that Meyer Optik (translation) plans to release even more X-mount lenses, and there will a super-fast Nocturnus 35mm F0.95 coming as early as May 2015. It’s a manual focus only lens, made in Germany with a 5 year warranty and cost €1999!

NOTE that the lens costs 1999 Euro and at closer look seems to have the same specs of the already existing and 3 times cheaper Chinese Zy Optics 35mmf /0.95 lens. So is this just a rebranded Mitakon, as Mattia Ghidelli says in the comments?
