Today, when UK FR-reader Andrew will arrive home from work, he will already be able to take his first shots with the Fujifilm X-E2!!! UK store wexphotographic already shipped his X-E2 as you can see from the screenshots! The black and silver body+kit lens combination is also in stock at Wex. Here is what Andrew wrote me:

“WEX photographic here in the U.K called me last night and said that my X-E2 order will be with me tomorrow! (Friday 1st November). […] I was really surprised too! Didn’t expect it till mid November at the very earliest myself.  I’m at work right now, but as soon as I get home I’ll send along some pictures (won’t be until later today, but my partner is in to collect the camera). I’ve attached a couple of screenshots of the WEX delivery notification and the Parcel Force website delivery status. I’ll keep you informed.”

enjoy your camera, Andrew!

AmazonUS is shipping the first XF 23mm lenses. Those who acted fast (as FR-reader Roger) and pre-ordered it right after its announcement back in Semptember should not miss the postman tomorrow. Roger sent me a screenshot with the good news from AmazonUS. He’ll receive the brand new Fujinon lens tomorrow.

X-E2: “Worlds fastest AF? A bold claim, but it feels every bit as fast as its top rivals” (camera.reviewed)

.
Now, how fast is the AF of the X-E2 really? Fujifilm claims an AF speed of 0.08 seconds. We’ll have to wait for comprehensive reviews where the camera will be thoroughly tested under all possible shooting conditions. In the meantime click here to read cameras.reviewed first impressions.

” – “World’s fastest autofocus speed” is a bold claim, but in our hands the X-E2 certainly felt every bit as fast as its top rivals.

[…] While the X-E2 isn’t exactly a revolutionary product, it’s further evidence that Fujifilm is listening to its fans. Without the juggernaut brand power of some of its Japanese brethren, Fuji is focusing on getting the little things right and hoping that consumers will respond.
