Not only the XQ2, but also the Fujifilm X-A2 (with new 16-50 lens) could be announced tomorrow. Although the rumor comes from a 100% anonymous source, I can well imagine that Fujifilm will announce both cameras together. (btw, thanks for sharing)

There will be a live blogging here on FR. I don’t know the time, but usually Fujiflm announces new gear around midnight New York time (6 AM in Paris).

A source, who was right in the past (thanks), just told us that the Fujifilm XQ2 will be announced tomorrow, January 15th.

Normally Fuji annouces new gear at around midnight NY-time. The live blogging is part of my service for you on announcement days and I’ll be ready also this time… for the… Fujifilm XQ2. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see it coming along with the Fujifilm X-A2, but no rumors here for now.

Take a look at the Fujifilm XQ1 in your country. You could find some great deals on it: [shopcountry 17996].

Fujifilm X-A2 is coming too… with second generation of XC lenses (OIS II)!

You know I keep saying that there will be two X-series cameras soon, a fixed lens one and a MILC.

The fixed lens one will the the XQ2.

… and the Fujifilm X-A2 is coming too. The information has just now been leaked by digicame-info, who also says that there will be an upgrade to the XC 16-50 and XC 50-230 (OIS II).

So what about the cheaper X-T1?

Here is a clarification I need to make, please read carefully.

While I was working to find out which camera the mysterious entry level MILC would be, I’ve received the rumor about the cheaper X-T1. And, although the source said it will come “this year”, I thought that this is finally the camera we were looking for, and I suggested that it could come early 2015.

But I have to be 100% unequivocal when I quote sources, and in fact the “cheaper X-T1” source never said it will come “early 2015” but just “this year”. Now the quote of the source is 100% clear!

So the state of the rumors is:

COMING SOON

  • XQ2

  • X-A2

THIS YEAR (2015)

  • Cheaper X-T1

[UDPATE: The source said it will come in 2015, whitout specifing any date. My guess was it will come in early 2015. Read here for the udpated article]

ORIGINAL POST

Who follows FR regularly will already know that Fujifilm has (according to FR-rumors) two new X-cameras in the pipeline for the next few months: a fixed lens one and an entry level MILC. Now, the fixed lens one could be the XQ2, the successor of the smallest X-series camera on the market.

And what about the MILC?

Well, according to an anonymous source with “nick name”, who was right in the past, it will be a cheaper version of Fujifilm’s best selling X-series camera, the Fujifilm X-T1.

Please keep in mind that, although I try to be as accurate as possible (83% correct rumors in 2014), you should take rumors that do not come from trusted sources, with a grain of salt… including this one.

So what, would this be a smart move or not? I’m really curious to read what you think about it in the comments.
