X-Pro2: Magnum Photos confirms 15th of January Announcement :: 1/250 flash sync speed + more specs leaking (AS)
First off: take the grain of salt.
Here is a list of specs send to me by an anonmyous source (thanks). The specs in green are those already rumored previously here on FR & confirmed by this source, while the specs in red are new.
- 24MP
- dual SD
- more than 200 AF points (2/3 are PDAF)
- Hybrid Viewfinder as X100T
- 1/8000 shutter speed
- 1/250 flash sync speed
- no tilt LCD
- ISO200-12800
The announcement:
The upcoming X-Pro2 is very likely the real reason behind the huge rebates on basically All X-gear. The savings go up to $900 — LIST OF SAVINGS HERE… and we now have one more confirmation, that the X-Pro2 is about to come.
After debunking fake rumors (not shared here on FR), that the X-Pro2 will be announced at CES, our sources said back in October here, that the X-Pro2 will be announced on January 15. This date (Janaury 15) has now been confirmed, in public, by Magnum Photos. After leaking two X-Pro2 images, Magnum justifies the removal of the photographs as follows:
“Embargo till Jan. 15 2016 due to contract with the camera manufacturer“.
