Silver/Graphite Fujifilm X-T2, X-Pro2 and XF 23mmF2 WR Announcement in January

The Silver Fujifilm X-T2

I’ve received a hint, that the silver Fujifilm X-T2 should be announced in January.

As you might remember, the silver Fujifilm X-T2 already appeared on the web several times, like on this Australian store. It was listed for sale for the same price of the black X-T2. The reason for the leak, is that at a certain stage Fujifilm planed to release both, the silver and black version at the same time, but then Fujifilm changed plans (as so often). Too bad, that stores already had the official documents that included the silver X-T2 and shared the images on their websites.

The Graphite Fujifilm X-Pro2

I’ve already told you a few months ago, that Fujifilm is planing to release a dark grey X-Pro2. Well, according to hints I got, also this one, just like the silver X-T2, should be announced in January. And it won’t come alone…

The Graphite XF23mmF2 WR

Fujifilm will also launch the graphite XF23mmF2 in January… making it the best companion for the new graphite X-Pro2 :)

The Fujifilm X100F Will Not Be Weather Sealed

According to reliable sources, the Fujifilm X100F will not be weather sealed.

NOTE: The leaked X100F images shared recently here are the 100% real thing.The day it will be unveiled (January 19), just compare it with the images here on FR. You don’t believe me? Then what about a nice bet? If I win, you send me a bottle of wine, and if I lose, I send you one. According to my calculations, I should get enough wine for the entire year 2017 :-)

LEAKED ** See Fujifilm X100F Images (Top, Front, Back)

Today I woke up with a very interesting email from the trusted Japanese source :)

Just like every year, our trusted Japanese source decided to make us all a little X-mas present. And since some of you critized its drawing skills when it sketched the Fujifilm X-Pro2 last year (even though it’s clear to see, that the source has talent for that… I know how quickly it sketched those images), this year the source decided to share the real thing with us.

Are you ready? Ok, then meet the Fujifilm X100F – see all the images below :)

IMHO, the X100 line is and remains the best looking X-series camera… and the X100F just continues this tradition. I was really tempted to jump on the X100T last year, when I destroyed my X-E2, but at the end I got the X-T1, just because I had already invested quite some money in the lenses.

Fujifilm X-E3 is Back on Fuji’s “To Do” List … And Can You Really Influence Fuji’s Decisions?

[wysija_form id=”1″]

The Fujifilm X-E3 Rumor

NOTE: Long Term Rumor… so take it with the mandatory grain of salt.

  • The Fujifilm X-E3 is again on Fuji’s “To Do” list.

Now please let’s make sure Fujifilm won’t change opinion again, and continue to SPAM Fujifilm here in the comments with requests for the X-E3 because….

… because your opinion matters to Fujifilm more than you might think… and here is a little story about it:

The Comeback of Fuji’s Forgotten Gem

For a long time, the Fujiiflm X-E3 was the forgotten gem in Fuji’s desk drawer and I was seriously afraid that it could be over for the lovely X-E line.

This is why, one day, I sat down with a glass of wine and waited for the inspiration to write a letter to Fujifilm. The result was the Love Letter to the Unborn X-E3.

And since the real strenght of FR is its huge community, along with the letter, I also launched a series of Polls, to see how much interested there is amongst FR-readers for an X-E3 (with tilt screen), compared to other X-series cameras.

Result: the X-E3 spanks them all! (see Polls below).

X-E Lovers of the World, Unite!

Ok… until now we were able to proof that Fujifilm reads this blog with such great interest, that they even display our Polls during official meetings with the press. So far it’s not surprising, since you guys are, by far, the biggest source of online feedback for Fujifilm and surveys launched here on FujiRumors usually get about 5,000 votes in just one day…  and Fujifilm just can’t ignore such a huge (and 100% independent) community and its feedback.

But can you guys also influence Fujifilm’s decisions?

Honestly, I think quite rarely… but apparently sometimes you can and you already did it in the past… with the Monochrome Fujifilm X-Pro!

At least that’s what a Fuji insider suggested…

Did a Poll on FujiRumors Decide the Future of the Monorchrome X-Pro?

So here is a short story about the monochrome X-Pro.

You might remember, how back in early 2015, Fujifilm Top Manager Toshihisa Iida said that he considers the Monochrome X-Pro a “sales opportunity for Fujifilm” and that it’s “technically of course possible, but it depends on the demand“.

“It depends on the demand“? Well, this called for a FujiRumors Survey ;)

I’ve launched a Poll a few days after Toshihisa statement, and, quite surprisingly (at least for me), the vast majority of X-shooters didn’t care about a monochrome X-Pro. [sadly, due to a bug, I lost all older Polls on FR, so you can’t see the results :-( ]

The rest is history: One year later, in early 2016, an important Fujifilm manager said, that every plan for a monochrome camera has been dropped… they prefered to give us ACROS.

Now you might say, that the Poll on FujiRumors had absolutely nothing to do with Fujifilm’s decision to drop plans for the Monochrome X-Pro… but you might be wrong.

I have it documented (with screenshots, too), that an important Fuji insider with excellent knowledge of Fuji’s long-term plans, was quite optimistic that a monochrome X-Pro could see the light of the day, especially after Toshihisa’s statement in early 2015. However, right after we launched the Poll here on FujiRumors, the very same Fuji insider saw the results and he publicy said that, given the bad results in the recent FujiRumors survey, he now has little hopes that Fujifilm will be motivated to make a monochrome X-Pro.

So, if written words still mean something, then the insider just confirmed that your voice (and votes) can influence Fujifilm’s decisions… or at least in case of the X-Pro monochrome your vote has very likely unmotivated Fujifilm to make it.

Did the same happen with the X-E3?

I don’t know, but I like to believe that all the love the X-E3 received here on FujiRumors in the last year, might also have influenced Fujifilm’s decision to give the X-E line another chance.

But at the end of the day, all that matters is just one thing: give us the Fujifilm X-E3, Fujifilm !!! :-)

Fujifilm X100F and X-T20 Will Be Announced January 19th (TRUSTED SOURCE) + AF Led Situated Next to the Flash

Mark This Date

Fellow X-shooters, please mark this date in your calendar: January 19th, 2017. On this day, Fujifilm will unveil the Fujifilm X100F and X-T20.

Another detail has been unveiled by another source: The X100F AF led is now situated next to the flash.

Ending The Fake Rumors Confusion

  1. If you are going to upgrade from the X100/S/T to the Fujifilm X100F, then you will have to buy the NP-W126s batteries. There is a 0,0% chance that, as claimed elsewhere, the NP-95 batteries of the X100/S/T will fit in the X100F.
  2. I got some scared emails from X-shooters, worried that the X100F will not be able to shot ACROS, because fake rumors say it could feature the old EXRII Processor. As we know, and confirmed also by X-guru Rico Pfirstinger in our forum here “ACROS is an X-Processor PRO thing“. And of course you will be able to shoot ACROS with your X100F.
  3. At CP+ in February in Japan, the X100F will be already “old” news… but this does not mean that other hot stuff could be announced there… who knows ;)
