Therefore I decided to launch a dedicated thread at the Fuji X Forum, where you can create you own poll… the most voted ones will be featured on FujiRumors… and Fujifilm will take note of them. So feel free create your own poll (with a question & the answer options).
Now, the amazing X-T1 FW 4.0 is coming (release June 29 around 5 AM London Time – midnight in NY). But what about older cameras? Earlier this months, I’ve asked over at the Fuji X Forum:
“Imagine Fuji would, for a last time, release a Firmware update for older X-series cameras (X-PRO1, X-E1, X-E2, X20, X100S, X-M1 & Co) that will bring 2 new features. Which one would you like to get?”
I now decided to put all the “Last Kaizen” wishes into one poll. You can select two options… let’s see what’s the most wanted feature in the X-community.

And stay tuned next week… not only because of the New X-T1 4.0 Firmware… ;)

So the source was right (thanks). The countdown has to start again, the Fuji X-T1 FW 4.0 will come on June 29 – I guess at usual at around 5AM London Time – Midnight in NY (if there are no last second delays ;) !)
Here are the features you will get:
(1) New AF system with Zone and Wide/Tracking modes for effortless capture of moving subjects
(2) Improvement of AF accuracy
(3) Eye Detection AF
(4) Auto Macro mode
(5) AF improvement in the Movie mode
(6) Improved Shutter Speed Dial operation
(7) Exposure Compensation control in Manual.
(8) Finer lines on the framing grid enhances visibility
(9) Name of Silent mode changed to avoid confusion
About Nr. 9: I made a proposal at the FXF, to rename “Sound & Flash OFF” to “Sound & FLash”. It just would be clearer, what do you think?
On June 29, you’ll be able to download here. Full details about new FW here.
Finally Online: the Fujifilm X100T review of riflessifotografici! Here an excerpt:
“I lately switched from the X-Pro1 to the X-T1 and sometimes I found myself thinking nostalgically to the “old” Hybrid viewfinder. This is not to say that the electronic viewfinder is not good, because it’s not true. The electronic viewfinder is what makes CSC cameras special since you can visualize what would be the final result before you push the shutter button. The thing is that, sometimes, photography is not necessarily rational. Sometimes instinct wins over thinking, the heart wins over the brain…sometimes you just touch a camera and it’s love at first sight…You either love it immediately or you’ll never love it. Again, this is not rational, but we all know it works like that.”
