Mr. 100% hit rate (the Top Trusted Japanese Source) said that the X-T10 will come in Mid-May (which confimrs rumors shared at Mirrorlessrumors). I hear the same release date from an anonymous source (with nick-name, thanks), which adds that it will have a great AF-performance.

It seems that the long X-T10 rumor story is going to end soon. And if you appreciated months of rumors about the X-T10 and it’s the camera you’ve waited for, feel free to grab it via the affiliate links (BHphoto, AmazonUS and Adorama) I’ll share here on the pre-order day.

It would be a greatly appreciated support for my daily work here on FR and a big help to cover the costs of this blog and keep it running 365 days a year for free. Thanks!

So, a new firmware for the X-T1 and a new camera called X-T10… all coming Mid-May… you should definitely stay tuned on FR in the next weeks,
facebook, google+, RSS-feed and twitter

Here is the rumored specs list (TS = Trusted Source / SRP = source right in the past / NeS = New Source)

– Name: X-T10 (SRP + NeS)
– cheaper version of the X-T1 (SPR + NeS)
– announcement in May (SRP)
– announcement Mid-May (TS)
– no weather sealing (SRP)
– smaller EVF (SRP)
– same sensor of X-T1 (NeS)
– fast AF [admin: faster than any current X-camera. Probably X-T1 will get firmware update which will bring same AF-speed] – coming late spring/early summer (SRP)
– SLR shape (SRP)
– available in black and silver for the same price (SRP)

An update about the FW rumor posted earlier here: an anonymous source confirms that there will be a new Firmware Ver. 4.0 for the X-T1.

With this new firmware X-T1 owners will enjoy a faster AF-speed! The source also says that, with ver. 4.0, it will be like “holding a completely new camera in your hands“. I’m not sure if this refers just to the improved AF performance or if there will be more improvements. In any case, I don’t envy those who write the X-T1 manual… and have to rewrite it continuously :).

According to a new source, there will be a new firmware coming soon for the X-T1, which will improve the AF-performance. When exactly will it come? The source says that it could come as early as next month and that at the moment the release is set for Monday, 11^th of May.

Firmware releases are very tricky, as postponements are possible in any moment (remember X100 firmware update).

Rico’s FIRST LOOK at the XF 16mmF1.4 (German Version)

_ _ _

A source, who was right in the past (thanks), confirms this rumor: Fuji will announce an new X-camera in May. According to the source, it will be long rumored Fujifilm X-T10 (first rumor about this camera shared on January 12).

Will it be a winner? I guess much depends on the price. The regular price of the X-T1 is of $1300 (but you can find Super Deals on the X-T1). So what would be the right price for this rumored X-T10?

The rumor comes from a new source, so take the mandatory grain of salt… especially since I haven’t heard about it from any of my trusted sources until now.

The source confirms what dc.home forum member joofei said here: there will be an X-PRO2 with a bigger sensor. It will have more or less a 1.3x crop factor and all the existing Fujinon lenses will be compatible with it.

Reminder: joofei said there will be two X-PRO2 versions: one with 24MP APS-C sensor and one with 25-27MP APS-X sensor.

After the previous APS-X rumor, FR-reader Axel did a little measuring and put different sensor sizes into the X-mount.

„There is room for more sensor w/o pushing the corners too far out. They can probably go up by 2 mm w/o trouble and with a change in aspect ratio they can go up by 3mm in each dimension – with a square format 22-24mm can be achieved. 21 mm fits right now but 24mm would probably be near the limit and show up in the corners with some lenses. The cool thing is that with a small up-scaling they have a bigger sensor AND 100% 4K video in a near APS-c size sensor by cropping. It has to be faster to dump the unused pixels instead of dealing with scaling.“
