On June 19th Fujifilm France organizes a show, obviously marketing because it says ….

Des animations photographiques originales
Des performances artistiques
Des rencontres avec les experts de FUJIFILM.
Annonce du lancement d’une grande opération inédite dans le monde
de la photographie…

This translates to :

Original presentations
Artistic shows/exhibitions
Meet the Fujifilm experts
Announcement of the launch of a vast operation never heard-of in the photography world

A pure Fujifilm marketing slogan or is really something big coming soon? June 19th is near, we will soon see what “vast operation never heard-of in photography world” means. I just hope it’s something better than the X-Robot of Fujifilm Middle East (you already forgot it?) ;-)

In the meantime, let your X-dreams and phantasy soar free in the comments.

thx a lot to the FR-reader who shared it via email with Fujirumors.

Fuji X-T1 in stock check: [shopcountry 21553]

Times for home-made solutions and fixes for the D-pad buttons could soon be over.

In fact, according to a new source, Fuji has prepared a “button upgrade” option that will be available to buy for any existing X-T1 owner. Pricing should be available and finalized in no more than 2 weeks.

The new source wasn’t able to tell me if this would require the camera to be sent to service.

NOTE: just some of the very early first production X-T1 are affected by the “mushy” buttons. If you are not one of those who grabbed one of the very first cameras, then this rumor is of no interest for you.

At BHphoto you can get the X-PRO2 screen protector now and the camera in about 6 months (according to mirrorlessrumors) ;-)

Big Fuji show at the photokina, at least according to mirrorlessrumors here: They say that Fuji will announce both, the X-PRO2 and X200 (both, according to mirrorlessrumors, with non organic new ASP-C X-Trans sensor) at the photokina (September).

They also say, that the X30 will feature a 1” sensor (while xjrumo said here the sensor will be bigger than 1”) and come earlier (dpr rumored here July 3rd).

RUMOR

According to a new source Fuji decided to produce a Fujinon XF90mm f/2.0 lens. The lens won’t be available before December 2014/January 2015.

I’ve updated the roadmap and noted the source of the rumors (new, trusted or source that was right in the past).

On December 16^th Fuji Manager Mr. Kawahara said in this interview “if user demand FF, really, I want to hear the reason why.” Well, it seems that the reasons to put an FF sensor in the X-PRO2 did not convince the company.

In fact, the trusted Japanese source just told me that the X-PRO2 will feature an APS-C sensor. At the moment, I do not have more details about it.

That’s a good news for all those, who invested in the excellent Fujinon lenses.
