(UPDATE) Fake firmware updates…

UPDATE: A couple of FR readers sent me the link to DChome where some user claimed to have published the new Fuji FW update files. I am writing this because you should NOT download this files and NOT install them. The real fw update will come soon don’t worry. But before you make some mistakes I thought it would be good to warn you :)  Thanks Rico P. for the warning :)

As a reminder: These are the new features coming with the fw update:

Fujifilm X-Pro1 – firmware version: 2.03 Changes:
* Allows compatibility with the new “XF14mmF2.8R” lens.
* Improved performance of Auto Focus under various shooting conditions.

Fujifilm X-E1 – firmware version: 1.04 Changes:
* Allows compatibility with the new “XF14mmF2.8R” lens.
* Shutter release button now works when an external remote release is connected.
* Improved performance of Auto Focus under various shooting conditions.
* Audio performance has been optimised for the new Stereo Microphone MIC-ST1 (sold separately).

FUJINON XF35mm – firmware version: 2.02 Change:
* Improved accuracy of Auto Focus performance.

Fuji announces the F900EXR and FinePix S4800 cameras.

Fuji just announced two new compact cameras. The FinePix S4800 superzoom with 30x zoom lens (Press text at Dpreview) and the WiFi-enabled F900EXR with EXR-CMOS II (Press text at DPreview).

Not really a big news and honestly also other companies didn’t announce exciting cameras for the coming CP+ show in Japan (starting tomorrow). Rumors say that major company announcements will come in April only but I don’t think Fuji will announce a new X camera by than (Sony-Panasonic-Olympus-Samsung will). Although, I would be happy to see a new X-PRO2 with new EVF, faster AF and why not, a new generation X Trans sensor….I know I have to stop dreaming :)

Suggest the XF lens you wish to be made by Fuji!

On top you see the actual real Fuji lens roadmap.

FujiRumors is now a growing community and it may be interesting to know from you what kind of new Fuji XF lens you wish to be made by Fuji. What are your secret dreams? Just comment this post and add the lens you would love to see (and buy) from Fuji. I will collect your suggestions and create a POLL to see what kind of lens Fuji should make as soon as possible. To make it easier to copy and paste your suggestions inside the poll please use that style to express the lens specs…Example “12mm f/2.0” or “14-35mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS“. Thanks! UPDATE: please suggest lenses that are not on roadmap yet! :)

Got it? Than let’s start! I am sure Fuji is curious to read your suggestions too :)

SLR Magic 35mm T0.95 and 35 T1.4 review

So… you want a super fast, super sharp, super built, super bokeh 50mm equivalent cream machine for your Sony NEX, Fuji X or EOS-M camera. How about a 70mm equivalent for your Micro 4/3?  Want one for each system without having to buy three different lenses? I know I do… and such a lens has just arrived to the Huff Household… Well, when ordering you just choose which system you want to use it with but the beauty of it all is that if you own 2 or 3 or all of these systems you only need ONE lens and it will be compatible with all of your cameras using an adapter.“”

Steve Huff received the SLR Magic 35mm T0.95 and 35 T1.4 (Adorama save $70). Look at the video he posted on YouTube and see his shots in his review here.
