Check out this deal at digitalrev! If you purchase the X-PRO1 body you’ll save $300 dollar (price at AmazonUS, BHphoto and Adorama is $1399).

It’s a good deal also for Europeans. Just check out the Digitalrev shop in your country here and compare it with your Amazon here.

FR-reader Peter has been in touch with DigitalRev and he told me that their X-PRO1 body is indeed brand new. Apparently it is their regular price (for now), not a time-limited sale. Shipping cost and exchange rates may lead to price variations.

Free X-E1/X-PRO1 photographers guide book PDF

If you click on this link, you’ll be able to download a free PDF photographers guidbook for the X-E1. (If you want the free X-PRO1 book [with instruction on how to use SILKYPIX], click here) From the description:

“This is an official guidebook for the premium interchangeable lens camera, FUJIFILM X-E1. It is intended to help users enjoy photography even more with tips on how to use each of the various functions. It also includes an interview of photographer and some gallery of their works.”

It can’t match Rico’s “Mastering the X-PRO1“(Kindle Edition) (Apple iBook Store) (German version), but take a look at it, it’s nice, free and well worth a read!

Zeiss lenses to be announced on May 7th.

SAR reports that Zeiss will announce their new Prime lenses for Sony NEX and Fuji X system on Tuesday, May 7th. The final price is still unknown although many expect it to be somewhere between $1,000 and $1,200. The first two lenses to ship in June will be the 12mm f/2.8 and the 32mm f/1.8 lens. The 50mm f/2.8 macro will ship in late 2013. All lenses have electronic Aperture and Autofocus control.

X-S1 marked as discontinued at Adorama.

The X-S1 is now discontinued at Adorama (see here). It still is in stock in other US stores like Amazon here and BHphoto here. As I already told you, an anonymous source told me that the X-S1 would be replaced soon by an X-S2 with X20 tech. I don’t have any news from trusted sources about it.

Oh, and if you don’t mind about a little scratch at the top left cover and don’t care about this cosmetic problem, then you should check this X100S at ebayUS (click here). You save $100.

Rumor Update: 2/3 inch sensor not for X-entry level camera (X-S2 according to an anonymous source)

digicame-info wrote me an email. They told me that the 2/3 inch X-TRANS sensor camera is not the X-entry level camera rumored before, but another product [UPDATE: 2/3 inch sensor mirrorless camera].

Now, this let’s me think about a rumor I’ve received a few days ago, anonymously via rumor box. A single line: “X-S2 with x20 tech over 1 month“. Just this, nothing more. I wanted to check it, before I post it, but now, with digicame-info saying that a new camera with a 2/3 inch sensor is about to be released this summer, I thought it’s time to post it… let’s put the pieces of this rumor puzzle together.

I hope I can bring some order in these rumor days soon. But, the good news is, that there are still some more Fuji-cameras to come next.

Have a good start in this new week
