According to a trusted source the X-E1 will be the “only” interchangeable mirrorless camera announced by Fuji this year. An X PRo 1 successor is scheduled for a 2013 release.

This may a good news for X PRO 1 owners. Let’s hope Fuji is focusing on a new firmware update to fix some of the small (or big) issues of the camera we already own :)

UDPATE: Photorumors just spotted a Facebook post written by Tony Bridge saying that a new X PRO 1 firmware update is coming on September 5th, 2012. These are the improvements:
1) In low-light condition, the X-Pro1 will be much faster in Auto Focus mode.
2) The speed of the image coming into focus when turning the focus ring has been vastly improved.
3) At maximum speed the X-Pro1 can now write to SD memory card twice as fast as before.

Digicaminfo posted a new set of X-E1 pictures. Finally we can see the camera from the top and back too!

Photorumors found the full X-E1 specifications:

• Same 16MP sensor as in the X-Pro1 (with max ISO of 25,600)
• 6 fps
• Light magnesium body
• Improved AF speed
• Price: bellow $1000
• To be released before Christmas
• Same video recording capabilities as the X-Pro1
• Mic input
• EVF only (not hybrid as the X-Pro1)
• Two colors: black and silver
• Pull 25 ISO to simulate Velvia in JPEG mode

Digicaminfo found the pictures of a new Fuji X compact camera. The name is unkown (could be XP1 or XF1) and so the sensor size (1/1.7 inch?). Unlike the Fuji X10 this camera has no viewfinder.
