Rumor: First hints about a Fuji announcement in early January!

This is still a very young website and it needs time to build a network of “sources” that may be able to share hints about possible future products. Yet we just heard from one source that Fuji is about to announce new cameras in early January.

We can definitely expect a new bunch of compact cameras. The CES event in Las Vegas is traditionally a place where manufacturers display their new mass products. But you know, back on January 10th Fuji announced the first X camera (the X PRO 1). They may want to celebrate this with a new X camera or lens?

[UPDATE] A new review and in stock status check [X-E1 kits available]

 

Trustedreviews published the full X-E1 review. But there is also a good news to report. For a short time the X-E1 kit was marked as in Stock too! Right now, X-E1 kits are available through third part reseller at AmazonUS (silver and black version) [BUT BE AWARE THAT THIS KIT COSTS $300 MORE THAN NORMAL. THE RESELLER WILLOUGHBY’S RAISED THE PRICE FOR $300 THE DAY AFTER THIS POST]. Four kits are also available for sale on eBay (via Slidoo).

 

Fuji X-E1 review at Photographyblog (and shipping today at BH)

Photographyblog (Click here) just published the full X-E1 review. It gets Highly Recommended by the reviewer: “The Fujifilm X-E1 feels even more like the natural interchangeable lens evolution of the incredibly popular X-100 camera than the X-Pro1 did, offering refined, intuitive handling, fantastic image quality, premium build quality and five high-quality lenses on launch.”
