Fujifilm X-A2 Officially Discontinued… so what About the Fuji X-A3?

X-A2 Officially Discontinued

Fujifilm X-A2 Discontinued

Fujifilm officially discontinued the Fujifilm X-A2 (Specs & Price).

You can still find it [shoplink 48151 ebay]available on eBay[/shoplink] and several stores, but Fuji won’t produce any new X-A2 cameras.

Considering that the Fuji X-A2 is selling very well in Asia.  IIRC a Fuji Manager statement, it’s the best selling interchangeable lens camera in some countries like Thailand. That’s why I strongly believe that there will be a Fujifilm X-A3 at some point.

A different story for the X20 and XQ2, which are also officially discontinued, but I doubt we will ever see a successor.

The Fujifilm X-A line is the most affordable MILC X-series camera line of Fujifilm and features a regular Bayer sensor, unlike most of the other X-series cameras, that feature an X-Trans sensor.

Fuji Manager: “We are considering internal 4K F-Log recording for Fujifilm X-T2”

BEST X-T2 FIRST LOOK – MUST READ HERE

As you know, the Fujifilm X-T2 offers F-Log 4K recording, but only via HDMI output, and not internally. This has annoyed many X-shooters out there, who plan to purchase the X-T2 also for Video Work.

Good thing is, Fujifilm listens. So already the Fuji Guys said here, that a firmware update for internal F-Log recording is possible. Now we have another statement, this time of a Fujifilm Manager in a video interview about the X-T2 at cinema5d. Here is what he said:

“As this introduction of F-Log is a first for us, we decided to go for uncompressed 4:2:2 first, which gives us the highest picture quality.

This means F-Log is provided via the HDMI output. It is compressed when recorded in-camera, and recorded at 4:2:0, so at a lower quality than uncompressed. That’s why we decided to provide F-Log only via the HDMI output.

After listening to our users’ opinions, we would like to consider internal F-Log recording.”

Fujifilm Price increase is coming

The company will increase the prices on plenty of X-gear starting from the 1st September 2016 in Europe.

There will not be a price increase on the Fujifilm X-T2, because Fuji raised the original price just shorty before it’s announcement.

Brexit, Currency fluctiations and also the Kumamoto earthquake could be some of the reasons for this price increase. Thanks a lot to the FR-reader, who passed me the link to the top-foto page.
