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.

I’ve got this information from a new source. Take it with a grain of salt… but we will very soon be able to see if the source is correct:

The new XF 18-135 will be officially announced on Memorial day (26^th of May).

The price, as spotted by FR-reader MJr, could be $/€200 above the [shoplink 12887]XF 18-55mm[/shoplink] (at least as listed at the Dutch store artencraft).

If true, stay tuned for a live blogging session on that day here on Fujirumors.
