Thanks to reliable FujiRumors sources we already know since months that the Fujifilm X-T2 will come this summer.

It’s hard to say the exact month (at the moment the announcement is rumored to be in June), because Fujifilm might decide to push it back a little bit to favor the (currently very strong) X-Pro2 sales. However, Fujifilm feels the pressure of the X-Shooter community to release the X-T2 (as you could read on this interview with Fuji Managers)… they can’t wait too long to release it… Summer release sounds just right for me.

That said, if what I share today with you isn’t a typo, the first Fujifilm X-T2 Pre-Production samples have already been shipped to Beta Testers. In fact there is an image, that Fashion Photographer Felicia Van Ham tagged on Instagram with #XT2 and #Fujifilm (thanks to the FR-reader for the link).

Typo or not? I don’t know.

But what we know thanks to the “X-Pro2 boxes leak” in late October 2015, is that Fujifilm can send pre-production cameras to Beta-Testers at least 2½ or 3 months ahead of the announcement of a new product… and if the June Announcement Rumor is correct, there could be already Beta-Testers out there with an X-T2.

The wait for the X-T2 is not that long anymore… but it seems that this does not influence negatively the X-Pro2 sales, which are currently very strong (“more pre-orders than expected“, as Fujifilm announced here).

Medium Format Fuji :: “50MP Sensor & Available 2017!” – New Source

asd

rumors box

New Site Design – New Rumor Box
NOTE: if you still get the malware warning, just empty your browser cache

_ _ _

Hey all,

First a short Recap:

Our Top Trusted Japanese Source said it here: Fujifilm is already working on a Medium Format Camera. No doubt: it will come. But when? A new source said it could be “presented” at Photokina 2016 (late September). A source, who was right in the past, said here it will be an interchangeable lens camera.

And now the new Rumor:

A New Source (so take it with a grain of salt) said that the Medium Format Fuji…

  1. will have a 50MP Medium Format Sony Sensor
  2. will be available in 2017

My thoughts on this (not part of the rumor)

ad 1) Sounds a lot like the Pentax 645Z sensor
ad 2) So if the previous New Source Rumor is also correct (“presented at Photokina“), this means that Fuji could actually display a prototype at Photokina in September, and launch the final version in 2017

stay tuned for more, fellow X-shooters…

By upgrading your Fujifilm X-E2 with firmware 4, you are giving up the camera that you knew: Your X-E2 will turn into an X-T10—only with a rangefinder design. However, on the inside, both the X-E2v4 and the new X-E2S offer (almost) the same features, the same menu options and the same graphical user interface as the X-T10.

Rico_BannerThis is important. To begin with, it means that your old X-E2 user manual has become pretty much obsolete. That’s why Fujifilm has created an entirely new manual along with firmware 4. You can download it here as a PDF file. It also means that my eBook on the X-E2 doesn’t apply to cameras running firmware 4 or the new X-E2S. It’s still great if you don’t upgrade your X-E2, but users who have made the jump are now much better off with my book on the X-T10.

I am not kidding! As long as you can see beyond the different form factors (rangefinder style vs. SLR style), my X-T10 book is now almost perfectly applicable. It really is, because Fuji did a terrific job transforming the X-E2 into an X-T10 with camouflage. This means that my X-E2 eBook won’t be updated. It doesn’t have to, because the update is already here. To ease the transition, my publisher has created a coupon code that will give you a discount of 50% on all editions of my X-T10 book (printed, eBook and combined). Simply enter XT1050 in the coupon field when you check out (or use XPERT40 if you are too late and this code has expired).

Same Same, But Different

Okay, so your X-E2 is now a rangefinder-style version of the X-T10. Great! But what exactly are the differences between an X-E2 running firmware 4 and the new X-E2S? There seems to be some confusion, so let’s straighten it out.

X-E2

X-E2S_silver_back

X-E2 vs. X-E2S

On the outside, the differences are minimal. The X-E2S offers an “improved” hand grip, but to be honest, I can’t feel much of a difference. However, pressing the four selector buttons on the back of the X-E2S does feel better, so this may be another small improvement over the classic X-E2. With firmware 4, you can forget the MACRO and AF descriptions on two of the X-E2’s selector buttons, as all four selector keys now serve as Fn buttons, just like in the X-E2S. This gives both cameras a total of 7 Fn buttons!

RUMOR :: Fujinon XF23mmF2 will come this year (even before the 120mmF2.8)

ddo

Fuji Managers said it here: “Customers are requesting more compact lenses. Our 35mm F2 is one example. So we may need to supplement this lens [with others of this kind].”

And tell me… over the last few years, which has been the most requested compact lens by the FujiRumors community in different Polls we have launched on this blog? You got it… it’s the Fujinon XF23mmF2! Now guess what? It seems Fujifilm listened (and you know they read FujiRumors).

According to our reliable sources, the XF23mmF2 (which is still not in the roadmap), will be launched this year… and probably even before the XF120mm (which is in the roadmap)!

So it’s time for me to update again the rumored-lens-roadmap.

more is coming… so stay tuned... ;)

Get A Grip :: Fujifilm X-Pro2 Metal Hand Grip in Stock… X-Pro2 shipping March 10

grip

The X-Pro2 Metal Hand Grip is now available at BHphoto and Adorama. It’s still unavailable at AmazonUS.

It will hardly mitigate the pain for the unexpected long X-Pro2 waiting, but it seems that whatever the issue was, Fuji fixed it and will start shipping the camera in early March (probably March 10).

Fuji X-Pro2 Shipping :: BHphoto updates X-Pro2 Page and Now Says… March 10! :-)

It seems that Lensmate was wrong, with their guess, the Fujiilm X-Pro2 could ship in April. Check out this:

FR-reader Wing said in the comments:

” The light at the end of the tunnel is brighter and looking not as far down as it’s been.. here’s a screen shot from B&H showing latest update to X-Pro2 expected availability.. MARCH 10th! Very good, very good.. please let it be even soon if possible.

Maybe the recent report/rumor that the final production firmware release from Kevin Mullins is good and finally production can move forward not be delayed as much as it’s been reported over the past weeks.”

FR-reader ChiPhi confirmed:

“Just received a note from B & H letting me know that my order’s ‘Expected availability’ is now March 10th. I really hope it does not get pushed much more as I am chomping at the bit.”

AmazonUS is even more optimistic… they still say the X-Pro2 shipping will start February 25.
