I’ve started to write this blog post over and over again. But I don’t know, how to put together and exciting news like the first leaked images taken with an X-Pro2 along with the a terrible massacre of Paris.
I feel shocked, as all of you out there. When horribly things like these happen, I’m used to close myself in silence and think to the victims, their families and their friends. For me, it’s difficult to talk about it with people close to me…. imagine how hard it is to write something on Fujirumors.
But I also know that many of you guys out there are PRO photographers. And I know that your aim is to photograph life as it is, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the dreadful. Some of you might even risk their own life to get close to the truth and capture it with their camera.
Sometimes a photographer just has to be right there, where history is happening. And in these days, history is writing one of its terrible chapters in Paris. And it’s my job to tell you that there is somebody with a Fujifilm X-Pro2 documenting it.
The 2 images have been shared in public here at magnumphotos. The EXIF data can be seen here. It really seems to be an X-Pro2 with 18mm lens. These images are part of a magnumphoto section, dedicated to the terrorists attacks in France. You can see all the pictures here.
if you have an account at magnumphotos, you can pruchase & donwload the high-res samples. And that’s what a FR reader did. The FR reader says (thanks):
The mangum images of paris are 6000×4000. If they really are from a xpro-2, that would make 24MP certain. The time in the exif is 21:23:45 however. That is clearly wrong, as at that time in november it’s pitch black in Paris [21:23 in Toyko is 13:23 in Paris].
I won’t comment the images. All I can say today is, be strong, my French friends.

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:
4K video
1080 @ 120fps
improved continuous autofocus
10 FPS continuous
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
X-T2 Rumored Specs List
(TS= trusted source / NeS =New Source / AS = Anonymous Source / ASnN = Anonymous Source with Nick-Name / SRP = source who was right in the past / OS = other sites)
SOURCE RIGHT IN THE PAST
X-T2 to be announced pretty soon after the X-Pro2 [NOTE: the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will be unveiled on January 15. If true, also the X-T2 will be announced in the first half of 2016, too.]
The anonymous source says the deal will start on November 15. I trust this rumor, because since now Fujifilm always launched deals on a Sunday, and November 15 is… a Sunday :)
