First this rumor, and then a Fujifilm Manager, said that the shipping of the X-T2 will start shipping in late August.

And the X-T2 might indeed start shipping in late August… but probably not everywhere. And at least for USA, it seems that the X-T2 is more likely to ship in September.

In fact, BHphoto, Adorama and AmazonUS today simultaneously updated their X-T2 product page, saying that the X-T2 “will begin shipping Thu, Sep 8 (Subject to availability)“. – thanks to the FR-readers for the links

However, FR-reader Marcus said yesterday in the comments here:

Just yesterday I’ve published the rumor here, were a trusted source told us Fujifilm will start shipping the Fujifilm X-T2 earlier than expected (late August instead of early/mid September).

Well, an attentive FR-reader (thanks!), just send me the link to a this podcast, where at the very end a Fujifilm South Africa Manager says:

“The X-T2 will be out at the end of August! There will be a limited stock unfortunately, due to our sensor factory [he means the Sony factory] being damaged by the earthquake.”

Great News… and thanks once more to the source for sharing correct information :)

Fuji X Forum, Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter

Today I’d like to share 2 BHphoto podcasts, and especially the second one has been sent to me several times by fellow X-shooters.

Podcast 1

The first BHphoto podcast is called “B&H Photography Podcast: Gear Insights from the Major Manufacturers at OPTIC 2016“. It includes a short interview with Fuji US Manager Michael Bulbenko (starts min. 10:18).

BHphoto tried a few times to get some information about what Fuji will launch in the next 6 months, including questions about the X100T successor. As to expect, the Fuji Manager does not give any answer. And he says:

“Tokyo is very very careful about what information they release. We pretty much find out things just barely ahead of time. Quite frankly, whatever you read on FujiRumors is basically what we know as well… not really… go to Fujirumors.com, whatever they say must be the truth because it’s on the internet.” – Reminder: in 2016, FR Sources shared 92% correct rumors.

*** Thanks so much to All Sources for your Amazing (!!!) Support. It’s frankly incredible how accurate you are, and how helpful you are to sort out fake rumors ***

Full Podcast here on youtube.

Podcast 2

In this BHphoto Podcast episode, the question is: The Mirrorless Divide—Fujifilm is for Artists, Sony is for Pros! No comment from my side here on FujiRumors (the discussion started already on the Forum here) . Just listen to the podcast, form your opinion, and share it in the comments.
