The Fujifilm X-PRO2 delay? Fujifilm is waiting for brand new sensor!

 photo p2_zps35b22e00.jpg

The Fujifilm X-PRO2 rumor drives me nuts!

X-PRO1S, X-PRO2 with 24MP, X-PRO2 FF, release mid 2014, late 2014, early 2015, fall 2015… all plausible options, and most of them probably correct at the time when those rumors were shared… but everything can change quickly with Fujifilm.

The latest information we have from a trusted source is this one: Fujifilm is waiting for a brand new sensor. This is, according to the source, the main reason of the long waiting time.

And now the big questions are: which sensor is it worth to make X-shooters wait so long for the X-PRO2? One of new rumored Sony sensors? The organic sensor? The one with the enlarged green pixels? And when will this new sensor be available and the Fujifilm X-PRO2 released?

The next Fuji camera? Another entry level X in early 2015! (trusted source)

 photo asdasd_zps972b7057.jpg

A trusted source just told me that in early 2015 we will see a new Fujifilm X-series entry level camera.

My very personal guess is that it will be either the successor of the Fujifilm X-A1 or the replacement of the Fujifilm X-M1… but as said, it’s just my guess. It could be something different.

I’m not sure it makes much sense to put R&D into the entry-level market, so for now I’m not really excited about this camera. But nevertheless, also this time, I’ll spend all the time & energy I can invest to find out more about it… and I hope to be pleasantly surprised soon.

It’s known that the X-M1 and X-A1 were not the big hit for Fujifilm… but what’s bad for Fujifilm, is very good for those looking for a cheap entry level X. Just look for Fujifilm X-A1 offers here and Fujifilm X-M1 deals here. Or get the X-M1 + 18mm $300 off at Adorama.

Stay tuned and feel free to share rumors by contacting me via email at fujirumor [at] gmail [dot] com or 100% anonymously via rumor box (possibly using a nick-name so that I can recognize you in future).

Fujifilm X-T1 firmware scheduled for mid-December (trusted source)

 photo KAIZEN_zps1fdb780f.png

Just yesterday FR-reader Sinjun asked in the comments when the December X-T1 firmware update will become available? Beginning of December, middle, end of December? Well, today a trusted source told me it will be mid-December.

So, if there are no last-minute changes, we can be pretty confident that X-T1 shooters will get the new firmware right in time for X-mas… and a silent electronic shutter could be very useful on that days (along with all the other improvements that you already know will come).

The source also confirmed that there will be a firmware for the X-E2 as well (but I don’t know if on the same date as the X-T1 firmware… I will contact the source and ask more information about it).

There is still a lot to check: will the X-E2 get Classic Chrome & the electronic shutter? Will the X-E1 and X-PRO1 be updated too? The Fujifilm X100S will also be updated, but with which features? Lot’s of questions that I will hopefully soon be able to answer.

It seems that the waiting is almost over for the Nissin i40 flash. The company just added the Fujifilm version to their compatibility chart here. Also, Fuji-X users can download and read the manual here (select the German or Chinese manual here).

The anonymous souce, who passed me the link (thanks) also said that the Nissin i40 will start shipping as soon as next week. However, the source didn’t specify in which country. I don’t think it will be already shipping to USA and Europe next week.

Also the site Dicahub (translation) got information about the Nissin i40, see the screenshot from Dicahab down below. They say that it should be released in Japan by the end of November. Black dot: confirmed to be compatibility. Gray dot: to be confirmed.
