I tell you… if you thought you had an exciting time in the first half of 2016 (X-Pro2 and X-T2) and this year can’t get better anymore, then just wait and see what will happen next :-)
The second half of 2016 promises to be at least as exciting as the first half. Why? Just check out the rumors below, all ordered according to their reliability.
And yes, that’s how it goes in the rumor world: no time to rest after the X-T2 announcement. Because Fuji keeps up working on new awesome stuff and I’ll give my best to keep you informed, so that you can make better buying decision, give Fujifilm some Feedback on future products they are planing and overall share the excitement of being part of the Fuji X world.
At this point, my deepest gratitude goes to ALL sources. You are reaching a level of accuracy I could have never dreamed of! You Really Rock… Awesome!!!
