New Fujifilm X and G Roadmap and Firmware Tomorrow, X-E3 Specs Confirmed (release September 28) + X RAW Studio software development

Share

Regular FujiRumors won’t be surprised, since we leaked the X-E3 specs already. But it’s great to have confirmation from Japan, as usual nokishita.

On Twitter, nokishita also mentions:

With a new product is released new firmware on X and G mounting new roadmap and X-series cameras also.”

Regarding the firmware, we already told you that the X-Pro2 for example will get 4K video and tethering.

  • X-E 3
  • 24.3 million pixels “X-Trans CMOS III”
  • X-Processor Pro
  • 3 type 104 million dots touch panel liquid crystal
  • 4K movie shooting
  • X series first Bluetooth connection compatible
  • “Touch Function” (Japanese name unknown) loaded. You can recall the preset function by flick operation up and down, left and right
  • Size: 121.3 x 73.9 x 42.7 mm
  • Weight: 337 g
  • Color: Black / Silver
  • Kit: Body · XF 18-55 mm lens kit
  • Expected release date: September 28, 2017
  • Mass store sales price (tax included): Body 123,660 yen, lens kit 166,860 yen
  • Metal hand grip MHG-XE 3 and bottom leather case BLC-XE 3 will also be released on September 28

And more high resolution images via digicame-info, including some info:

– X Mount Lens New Road Map
– G Mount Lens New Road Map
– New firmware of X series camera
– X RAW Studio software development

When X – E 3 is a black body, the impression is quite different from silver body. XF 80 mm F 2.8 is expensive as a lens of this class, and the size seems to be large, but it seems that it can be expected for that much.

Also, as rumored, a new roadmap for X mounts is likely to be made public as well. I am also looking forward to the new lens roadmap of G mount.

In addition, since the above price is the price of a mass merchandise shop with points, it seems that at the lowest price store it will be cheaper by 10% than this.

Hollywoods’ Dunkirk Movie Official Photos Taken with Fujifilm X-Pro2 and XF 18-135!

Share

Many of you have probably already heard about (and maybe even seen) Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster, Dunkirk (trailer here). [Note: C. Nolan also made Inception, The Dark Knight & more]

Well, if you search for “Dunkirk” on the web, you will probably be redirected to sites like comingsoon.net, where you can see some images (including behind the scenes images) of the movie as well as the trailer.

The images on the set were taken by Melinda Sue Gordon… with… the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and the Fujinon XF 18-135 (at least some of them)… as you can see below.

So yes… the APS-C X-Pro2 and the XF18-135 superzoom were used on the set of one of the biggest movies of the year… and its images were used all over the globe to promote the movie :) !

I own the Fujinon XF 18-135… and I always thought it’s kind of awesome for a superzoom :)

It’s nothing new, that Hollywood loves Fujifilm cameras. The X100S was the travel camera of Hector, in the Movie ““Hector’s Search for Happiness” (which I saw in the airplane, when flying back from Cambodia) and the Fuji X-Pro1 was used in the Movie “The Neon Demon” by Nicolas Winding Refn. X-series cameras are also used in TV series like Parenthood TV, The Last Ship and by lots of celebrities.

Full Overview of X-series cameras spotted in Movies or used by celebrities here.

Thanks to the FR-reader who directed my attention these Chinese Forums here and here.
