While waiting for the X-Pro2 present right from our trusted Japanese source, I have to inform you that the X-E2s has been registered at the Taiwanese National Communications Commission (the X70 and X-Pro2, too).
Once again, it seems that FR-sources were spot on.
And now let’s wait for the X-Pro2 gift by our trusted Japanese source :-)

Janaury 15 is approaching… and I tell you, I’m working hard to make it the best rumor time we ever had on FujiRumors since I started this blog, 4 years ago, with my very first post, which btw. had an incredible web-response of zero (0) retweets, zero (0) likes, three (3) comments and maybe ten (10) views ;).
But things have slightly changed since that first post, and, beyond my expectations and my merits, FujiRumors has grown to the by far Largest Fujifilm X-series online Community (and you know this is why Fujifilm really reads this blog and your opinions).
Well, if you want to be part of this community and be quickly notified as soon as the rumors go online, it’s best to follow FujiRumors also on Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter or/and subscribe the Fujfilm X-Pro2 thread to get instant notification!
That said… lean back and enjoy the rumors… I will give all my best until January 15 and postpone my burn-out to January 16 ;)
cheers,
According to an anonymous source with nick-name (thanks), the XF100-400 will be announced on January 15 (along with the Fujifilm X-Pro2, with its combined ISO/Shutter dial a la Pentax Spotmatic).
Always according to this source, it should cost about $/€1,800… 100 more, 100 less ;)
Up to you to the the grain of salt or not ;)
The internal Fuji roadmap that you can see below, says that the XF100-400 will be available in March.
stay tuned,
Fuji X Forum, Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter
Take a Tour with Fuji Guys Billy & Mark and see how the XF35mmF2 WR is assembled at the Japanese Sendai Factory.
Curiosity: at minute 4:05, Mark stands in front of the inspection area, where the IQ of the XF35mmF2 WR is tested after the assembling. If you wonder why Mark says “we can’t show you the inspection area. It’s highly confidential“, then maybe it’s because they are testing how the 35mm performs on a 24MP sensor X-Pro2 ;) .
And in case you missed it, you might also be interested to go inside the Fuji factory again and see Manufacturing Story of Fuji X-T10.
XF35mmF2 WR: USA: AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama / EU: AmazonDE / PCHstore / AmazonUK / AmazonITA /

X-T1 IR: AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama
It’s time to give a final answer to those asking me news via email about the Fujifilm X-T1 IR… and the final answer is: I have actually no clue what’s happening with the X-T1 IR.
The camera was announced on August 3 and supposed to be available for the American market (and only for the American market) in October. That’s at least what FujifilmUS told us at its launch. But since then, we have seen several delays, and now AmazonUS says it will be available on December 30.
So, the camera is still not available, but Adobe just announced, that Lightroom CC 2015.3 / 6.3 + Camera RAW 9.3 now support the X-T1IR.
And since we are talking of how Fuji can marvellously mess up the shipping of its products, if there is anyone out there, who can tell me, why the HS-V5 software is available in Europe since months, but still (!!!) impossible to find in North America, please let me know.
At least, the shipping of the XF35mmF2 ad 1.4x TC seem to proceed smoothly.
Let’s see how Fujifilm will manage the shipping of the X-Pro2.

According to a new source, the Fujifilm X-T2 will be announced in June 2016. If true, this means that both, the X-Pro2 and the X-T2 will be unveiled in the first half of 2016.
Moreover, an anonymous source with nick-name confirms it will be available in “summer“… and shares some specs with us:
Thanks a lot for sharing the rumors :)
For now, fellow X-shooters, please take the grain of salt. Not only because it’s still unconfirmed from trusted sources, but also because within 8 months, Fuji can decide to change the launch date anytime.
Ok, we can now officially start a new “rumored specs list” adventure here on FujiRumors
stay tuned,

Every time I check out the images X-shooters shared at the Fujirumors facebook photostream and at the Fuji X Forum, I’m amazed about how many gorgeous images the X-community creates with X-gear: low light, sports, landscape, portrait, architecture, street, astrophotography, fashion, weddings… simply everything can be done with stunning results!
These images also tell me that, for me, Patrick, there is no real need of Full Frame to get a higher keepers rate in my shots. On the contrary, I better invest my time & money in following other photographers and learning from their work. I better buy tutorials, ebooks and go to workshops. I better know my gear and don’t blame it for the lack of my skills. I should ask for advice and study. And of course, practice… go out on the field and shoot, a lot! Try different styles. Challenge myself. Experience frustration and joy… and at the end, have Fun while painting with light!
So, for next hours, I’m out of here guys and I’ll do my homework with the X-T1 now… which is actually one of the few homeworks I really enjoy to do :)
have a GREAT weekend,

It’s high time to share some hard facts:
About the rumor check
All the rumors shared here are different rumors, mostly from different sources, all shared at a different time about different things.
Also consider that for example every single Fuji X-T10 rumor shared over half a year by different sources (the announcement date, several specs, the leaked images etc.) could have been right or wrong. That’s why they have to be listed separately.
Throwing for example all X-T10 rumors into one pot would not respect the work of several FR-sources. It probably wouldn’t even change the correct rumor hit rate at all, since we’d then have to put together also the wrong rumors, which means I’d have shared just 4 wrong rumors instead of 7.
If you don’t trust this list for whatever reason, then feel free to invest a couple of hours of your time, go through all the rumors shared in 2015 and make your own list. Then pass it to me via email. I’ll be happy to publish it on FujiRumors.
stay tuned,

The X series line-up began in March 2011 with the introduction of the Fuji X100. Now Fujifim decided to celebrate the 5 years X-series anniversary with a worldwide contest, launched via fujifilm-x.com. Join the contest by submitting your photo, and you might be on of the lucky 100 winners, whose picture will be also displayed at the big Fuji photo exhibition in January 2016 at the Fuji Headquarter… and winner of a prize worth $300!
“Fujifilm will be hosting a photo exhibition at their Headquarters in Tokyo to showcase the passionate and creative photography works of 100 renowned professional “X-Photographers” along with 100 professional or enthusiast “X-Users”.
Fujifilm invites X series users from around the globe to join the celebration and take part in the contest by submitting their favorite photo taken on an X series camera for entry.
A total of 100 photos will be selected by a judging panel of professional photographers, printed by Fujifilm experts and then displayed at the photo exhibition in January, 2016“
I really really really really would love to be there to see the exhibition, but even if I could fly to Tokyo, I doubt anyone of the Fuji Guys would be happy to see me at their Headquarters.
So I’ll stay here at the FujiRumors headquarter, a rented 65 square meter apartment, hoping to be able to make my own party… by … who knows, maybe pre-ordering the Fujifilm X-Pro2 ;) .
good luck to all of you,
