Just landet in my Inbox, and I share it right away:

there will be a new Firmware update for the Fuji X-Pro2 coming along with the X-T2 launch. At the moment I’m not 100% sure if it will be actually released, or just announced and released for download later on. But anyway: some Kaizen Love seems to come for the X-Pro2 :-) .

stay tuned… and don’t leave me alone here on FR tomorrow, July 7, at 01:00AM New York Time / 07:00 Paris Time… the new roadmap, the X-T2, the X-Pro2 Firmware, the flash… plenty of good things coming very soon.

Last Second Fuji X-T2 Rumors :: Available in September :: USB Charging :: New Images of Open SD-card/Accessory Door

Fuji X-T2 USB Cable Charge

Ok… we are at the finishing straight… but this is not a reason for me to stop leaking! (thanks, FR-sources… you just Rock!)

I have plenty of Coffee, Red Bull (and other unspecified drugs) ready to push me through the night until the X-T2 annoucement (tomorrow, July 7, at 01:00 AM New York Time). It will be one of the most awesome Live Bloggings I’ve ever did… and I’m so excited!

That said, take a look at these 3 rumors I’ve got from 3 different sources (thanks):

USB Charging

A trusted source told me that the X-T2 can be charged internally via USB 3 cable.

SD-card slot and Accessory Door

We saw it from the top, the back, the side, the front… and now our trusted Japanese source thought that something was missing: the inside!!! So it grabbed a Fuji X-T2 and opened the accessory and SD-card door. Enjoy the pics (see them at the top of the post) :-)

Available In September

Another tricky part of rumors, is to give an accurate date of when a new product will actually ship. In the past we have seen to many times Fuji announcing a date, and then changing it during pre-order period. But, sometimes, we have also seen some stores deliver a new product slightly before Fuji’s expected shipping date. So everything is possible, but for now I’d say that the X-T2 will ship in September (let’s hope early September).

Is that the consequence of the Kumamoto earthquake? I don’t know.

But what is sure: if you’d like the camera as soon as possible, you better pre-order it quickly. I have the feeling the shipping won’t proceed super-smooth and if pre-orders are high, there might be quite a shortage of X-T2’s for a while.

That said, I hope to be proven wrong tomorrow, and the X-T2 will ship already in August.

The Fujifilm X-T2 Price? :: Cheaper than Fuji X-Pro2, but more expensive than X-T1 Launch Price!

Fujifilm X-T2 Price

So, how much will the Fujifilm X-T2 cost?

Of course the price will change depending on the country you live. But let me say it in a way, that should fit for every country in the world: the Fujifilm X-T2 will cost less than the Fujifilm X-Pro2 ($1699 in USA – £1,349 in UK – €1799 in most EU countries) but more than the X-T1 at its launch ($1299 in USA – £1049 in UK – €1299 in most EU countries).

So the X-T2 should cost:

USA: between $1400 and $1600
EU: between €1400 and €1700
UK: between £1100 and £1300

The final price? Well, I think we have learned a lesson last time with the Fujifilm X70, where Fujifilm changed opinion about the price several times before the launch (there was a last minute change before the announcement), and then even changed the price during (!!!) the X70 pre-order period!

So, better be careful, when it comes to the price.

Anyway, the X-T2 offers so much more compared to the X-T1 (and in certain aspects also compared to the X-Pro2), that a price tag below the X-Pro2 is already a good news for me.
