Exclusive X-pert Corner Special on January 14 @ 11:30 PM New York Time

_ _ _

Let me say it like this: “We don’t know anything about the Fujifilm X-Pro2… despite all the leaks of our amazing sources!”

Why?

Because on paper the wide phase detection pixel coverage sounds amazing… but in real life, how good does it perform? And how is the dynamic range of the new 24MP sensor? The ISO noise and more?

We want samples. We want first looks. We need tests… and for some reason nobody has (still) published (leaked) a first look ahead of the X-Pro2 launch.

And while specs are more or less exciting, what X-shooters really need now is not the on-paper-camera, but the real-life-camera. Feeling, handling & on field performance is not something you’ll find in spec-sheets (or in rather bad Promo Videos ;) )

But until then, all we have are rumors… and our rumor buddy digicame-info just leaked the price in Yen:

– X-Pro2: 215000 yen (tax included) – ($1,681)
– XF100-400mm: 242000 yen (tax included) – ($1,892)
– X70: 96000 yen (including tax) – ($750)
– External for X70 optical view finder VF-X21: 23000 yen (including tax) – ($179)
– FinePix XP90: 30000 yen (including tax) – ($234)

Also the X70 Promo is online here.

Hm…. Now that could help ;)

And here is the X-E2s video.

And now another good news.

According to a trusted source, on January 14/15 (according to your time zone), Fujifilm will also announce a new Flash, the EF-X500.

As our amazing sources told us already in November 2014 (!!!) here, the guide number will be 50. The EF-X500 will be capable of HSS 1/8000 (only with X-Pro2). The flash will also be weather sealed.

According to the source, we will still have to wait until spring to finally be able to use it. The exact month of release is unknown (at least to this source). As soon as I hear more, I’ll let you know.

So if all the rumors shared on FR over the last months are right, here is the Full List of Announcements on January 14 at 11:30PM NY-Time

• Fujifilm X-Pro2
• Fujifilm X70
• Fujifilm X-E2s
• Fujinon XF100-400
• Firmware 4.00 for Fujifilm X-E2
• EF-X500 Flash
• FinePix XP90

I somehow have the feeling that it will be the most challanging Live Blogging session ever for me… I’m working on my limits, I’ll put my best into this until the last day, and I hope you won’t let me alone here on FR ;)
