And yet another X-TransII camera has been discontinued by Fujifilm… and it’s Fuji’s most successful camera so far: the Fujifilm X-T1! Go to Fuji’s official Japanese site here, and you’ll read that the “production has ended“.

The only X-TransII cameras still in production at this stage, are the Fujifilm X100T, the Fujifilm X70 and the X-E2s.

Fujifilm X-T10 Discontinued (as well as the X-E2)… Fujifilm X-T20 Coming?

fuji-x-t10-discontinued

Fujifilm X-T10 discontinued (as well as X-E2)

The production of the Fujifilm X-T10 has ended. The camera is now officially discontinued – See Fujifilm Japan. The Fuji X-T10 is quite a successful camera for Fujifilm, so the replacement, the Fujifilm X-T20, will come for sure… sooner or later.

Also the Fujifilm X-E2 is now officially discontinued (see here). Not a big surprise, since Fujifilm released the X-E2s. But will there ever be an X-E3?

LOVE LETTER to the Unborn FUJIFILM X-E3… Please, Fuji, Keep the X-E Line Alive!!! :: Multiple POLLS!

Fuji X “Magic”: T. Northrup Compares Sharpness of Canon 5DS-R (FF 50MP) Vs. X-T2 (Scaled to 50MP), and he’s “Blown Away”!

fc

Fuji X-T2 (24MP APS-C X-TransIII) Vs. Canon 5DS-R (Full Frame 50MP)

_ _ _

Tony Northrup is working on his X-T2 Review and he’s sharing some tidbits now and then on Twitter. And here are some that will make you happy :)

SHARPNESS

He compared the APS-C 24MP X-TransIII Fujifilm X-T2 with the Full Frame 50MP Canon 5DS-R. You can see the results in this tweet. Tony’s comment:

Fuji X-T2 (scaled to 50MP)+50-140 vs Canon 5DS-R+70-200. Not a lab test, but blown away by the sharpness

Must be the result of Fuji’s magic trinity: Awesome Glass + X-Trans sensor + X-Processor!

EYE DETECTION

eyed

Here is Tony Northrup’s comment on Twitter regarding Eye Detection:

Fuji X-T2 & 50-140 vs Nikon D7200 & Sigma 50-100 f/1.8. Fuji wins again. Eye detection only works ~60%

AF-SPEED

And how does the AF perform? Here is Tony’s comment on Twitter:

Shot a soccer game with the @FujifilmUS XT-2 + 50-140 f/2.8. LOVED it! Slower focus than a D500, but silent, higher frame rate, EVF.

Please Note that Tony didn’t test the X-T2 with Vertical Grip attached. So I allowed myself to make a comment on Twitter, reminding Tony that the Vertical Grip not only gives more juice to the X-T2, but also improves it’s performance.

Some numbers:

Without vertical grip, the EVF of the X-T2 is in black-out for 65% of the time (at 5fps). However, with the vertical grip set to boost mode, the EVF of the X-T2 is in black-out for 57% of the time.

That’s a difference of 8%.

During black-out, the camera is busy with the creation of the digital image, and can not make any AF-tracking measurments. This means that, with the Grip attached, the camera has 8% more time to calculate data and track the subject… and 8% in sports photography can make the difference between a keeper and an out of focus image.

I know Tony Northrup puts all his effort and a lot of time in his reviews. I just allow myself this little note, so that his test can be even more accurate… and the AF of the X-T2 that he already loves, will eventually make him even happier :-).

And thanks to Ken (twitter) for the links he send me via Twitter

Medium Format Fuji: Body + Lens About the Price of the Hasselblad X1D Body Only!

medium-format-fuji

– – – I accept mock-ups from the X-shooters out there :) – – –

MEDIUM FORMAT FUJIFILM

I’ve started the rumor series about the MF Fuji back in May 2015. Since then, we were able to get our hands on some specs of both, the body and the lenses. And this long rumor story will end very soon, on September 19, when the Medium Format Fujifilm will be officially persented to the world.

It will be the shining start at this years’ Photokina :-)

But how much will it cost? I already told you it will be cheaper than the Hasselblad X1D. Behind the scenes, Fujifilm can change (and did change) the estimated price Tag anytime. Just like it happened with the Fuji X-T2, which price has been raised just shortly before its announcement, due to the Kumamoto earthquake and the currency fluctuations following the Brexit vote.

At the moment, the most “safe” thing I can say (via trusted source), is that Fuji should keep the price of the Medium Format Fuji + Lens at around the same price you pay for the Hasselblad X1D body only. But I don’t know if in this regard the final decision has yet been made by Fujifilm. Fujifilm can wake up and change everything tomorrow morning. And always keep in mind that the actual release is planed, according this rumor, only in 2017.
