Fuji X70 already in the hands of selected photographers for testing – New Source

 photo asoifaoufgoua_zpsmoyaelpm.jpg

According to a new source, Fujifilm already shipped some X70’s to selected photographers for testing.

The X70 rumor is one of the oldest here on Fujirumors. A few years ago Fuji already was close to make it, but they stopped its development and put plans on ice.

If this rumor is correct, than Fujifilm not only decided to make it, but it’s development is actually at an advanced stage and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it become real within the first half of 2016 (but I have no rumors about it’s release date for now).

According to the rumors, the X70 is an EVF-less & smaller version of the X100 line.

And yes… don’t forget the grain of salt

take care

See the First Images taken with Fujifilm X-Pro2, documenting The Day After the Terror Attacks in Paris!

Bildschirmfoto 2015-11-15 um 06.52.35

I’ve started to write this blog post over and over again. But I don’t know, how to put together and exciting news like the first leaked images taken with an X-Pro2 along with the a terrible massacre of Paris.

I feel shocked, as all of you out there. When horribly things like these happen, I’m used to close myself in silence and think to the victims, their families and their friends. For me, it’s difficult to talk about it with people close to me…. imagine how hard it is to write something on Fujirumors.

But I also know that many of you guys out there are PRO photographers. And I know that your aim is to photograph life as it is, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the dreadful. Some of you might even risk their own life to get close to the truth and capture it with their camera.

Sometimes a photographer just has to be right there, where history is happening. And in these days, history is writing one of its terrible chapters in Paris. And it’s my job to tell you that there is somebody with a Fujifilm X-Pro2 documenting it.

The 2 images have been shared in public here at magnumphotos. The EXIF data can be seen here. It really seems to be an X-Pro2 with 18mm lens. These images are part of a magnumphoto section, dedicated to the terrorists attacks in France. You can see all the pictures here.

if you have an account at magnumphotos, you can pruchase & donwload the high-res samples. And that’s what a FR reader did. The FR reader says (thanks):

  • The mangum images of paris are 6000×4000. If they really are from a xpro-2, that would make 24MP certain. The time in the exif is 21:23:45 however. That is clearly wrong, as at that time in november it’s pitch black in Paris [21:23 in Toyko is 13:23 in Paris].

I won’t comment the images. All I can say today is, be strong, my French friends.

thanks to the anonymous FR-reader, who passed me the links to the images and the EXIF data

HUGE Fuji US-X Sale now also at BHphoto & Adorama (save up to $400)

_ _ _

According to a new source, the Fujifilm X-T2 will be announced in June 2016. If true, this means that both, the X-Pro2 and the X-T2 will be unveiled in the first half of 2016.

Moreover, an anonymous source with nick-name confirms it will be available in “summer… and shares some specs with us:

  • 4K video
  • 1080 @ 120fps
  • improved continuous autofocus
  • 10 FPS continuous

Thanks a lot for sharing the rumors :)

For now, fellow X-shooters, please take the grain of salt. Not only because it’s still unconfirmed from trusted sources, but also because within 8 months, Fuji can decide to change the launch date anytime.

Ok, we can now officially start a new “rumored specs list” adventure here on FujiRumors

stay tuned,

 photo FW4 e2_zpsghxx4qxu.jpg

X-E2 Firmware rumor recap

  • After the announcement of X-T1 FW 4.0, Fujifilm France answered to X-E2 shooters on May 25, that there will be a Firmare update also for X-E2 – READ HERE
  • Sources told to FujiRumors on June 3, that this firmware update will come in about 6 months – READ HERE
  • On June 18, a new source told us it will indeed come by the end of this year, and bring the new AF-system – READ HERE
  • Finally, Fujifilm itself confirmed on July 24: the X-E2 firmware will come by the end of the year. They did not mention which features it will bring, though – READ HERE
  • On October 29, a trusted source told us, that the new Firmware update for X-E2 will come, and it will bring a new AF-system to X-E2 cameras. READ HERE

Still not convinced? Then here is another one:

Fujifilm Hong Kong (via Fujfilm Studio) just said on facebook, that the X-E2 FW4 is currently scheduled for next year mid-January. Earlier this year, my sources and even Fujifilm itself said it will come by the end of this year. If Fuji Hong Kong is right, than there has been a little delay on the release.

Thanks a lot for the FR-reader who spotted and shared this with all of us :)
