So here we go, this is just a first selection of some of the hottest topics, controversal debates, stunning images (and more) shared over at the New Fuji-X-Forum. There is much more to discuss here.

Feel free to join the brand new Fuji-X-Forum and share your images, thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions and more. I will feature the hottest ones on FujiRumors, in order to give you the best visibility possible.

General Discussion

– started by milandro: “Fuji hatred? Why?” Do you have an idea why we can regularly find bloggers, who write with the sole purpose of a passive-aggressive hateful intent against Fuji? Follow the discussion here.

Fuji X System

X-T1 / X-T10

– started by me, Patrick FR: “Real X-T10 Vs. Mock Up X-T10… which one do you prefer?” Ahead of the release of the X-T10, FR-reader Yoav send me a mock-up of the X-T10 with a thinner top plate. I shared the images and wanted to know which one the Fuji-X-Forum community prefers. See the pics and make your choice. It now includes also an image of the Fuji X-T10 with XF 35mmF2 WR lens!

X-PRO1

– started by antonio: “Second Body“. Antonio needs a second body. He already owns an X-PRO1. “So wich one the best to pair with X-Pro1, X-E2 or X100s?”. Make your suggestion here.

X-E1/X-E2 – Firmware

– started by Sodela: “Any news about a FW 4.0 update on the E2?”… we could also ask: “will there ever be a FW 4.0 for the X-E2?”. Follow the discussion here.

Fuji X Lenses

– started by Toon: “Your X Lens wish list.” Just Start Dreaming here ;)

IT ENDS TODAY

It’s over now.

For way too long time, I was the only one deciding which content to post on FujiRumors and which topics to discuss. For way too long time, people dropped me great stories, ideas and pictures via email, patiently waiting for me to read it, reply and share it on FujiRumors. For way too long you’ve been asking for a different way to interact with FujiRumors and fellow X-shooters… and today we are going to change it!

IT BEGINS TODAY

Starting from today, you can share your eXperience, your passion, your images, your questions, your work and more at the new fuji-x-forum, the official FujiRumors Forum. It will be a place, where fellow X-shooters can have an open and kind discussion about everything regarding the X-system. Feel free to join us, give yourself a fresh new start and take FujiRumors to another level ;) .

YOU SHARE AT THE FORUM & I FEATURE YOU ON FUJIRUMORS

Along with this blog, the fuji-x-forum will become my second home, and I’m sure I’ll meet many cool X-shooters over there, discover amazing X-work and be inspired by you. And whenever I stumble on a great story, a great picture, an interesting thread or idea, I will mention it also on FujiRumors and give it the biggest visibility possible.

So, fellow X-shooters and FR-readers can join this journey right now and be there from day 1. Let’s build up a nice, fresh, new X-space together. My name over there is Patrick FR… see you at the fuji-x-forum.

And btw, here it is, the very first image shared at the fuji-x-forum by X-shooter Harlem. And didiergm has an interesting question… do you know the answer? Then drop it here.

Thanks to the Admin of the long time German Fuji X Forum for this cooperation.

Here we go guys, the FW has just been announced, exactly on May 11, as predicted here on FR back in April.

Now all you have to do is to read the list of improvements, enjoy it and find a way to somehow manage your impatience until late June, when the firmware will finally be available for download!

“This update follows on from a previous major functionality improvement for the X-T1 introduced on December 18th, 2014 and shows that Fujifilm continues to listen to customer feedback to boost the performance of X-Series cameras, ensuring many years of continued use.“

Here is the list of improvements:

(1) New AF system with Zone and Wide/Tracking modes for effortless capture of moving subjects
(2) Improvement of AF accuracy (The built-in phase detection pixels have the detection range of 0.5EV, an improvement from the previous 2.5EV, delivering phase detection AF performance that enables fast focusing in low-light conditions and on low-contrast subjects.)
(3) Eye Detection AF
(4) Auto Macro mode
(5) AF improvement in the Movie mode

Other Improvements

(1) Improved Shutter Speed Dial operation
(2) Exposure Compensation control in Manual.
(3) Finer lines on the framing grid enhances visibility
(4) Name of Silent mode changed to avoid confusion
