It can be turned round as you like, but 2015 was not really a super exciting Fuji year.

Sure, we got some gorgeous new lenses (like the 90mm and 16mm), we got the little nice X-T10, but all in all we did not really had many occasions to say “WOW”.

But 2016 will be completely different… and I tell you, you can be sure that I’ll put all my passion/fun/excitement (and a lot of time) into this blog, in order to make your time on FujiRumors the most informative & exciting as possible.

And I have the feeling that in 2016 you will read even more blog posts than the 659 articles published in 2015.

So don’t miss anything and join the Fujirumors community also on Fuji X Forum, Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

Ok, now just enjoy this day, and have a healthy & fun 2016.

P.S.: No, I will not improve my English skills in 2016… no time to take lessons.

P.P.S.: I apologize for bad English, Typos, errors and what not in advance. It just happens when you write in trains, busses full of crying teenies, after surgeries followed by high fever (like right now), while backpacking through Indonesia, at lunch break, deep in the night, drunk in bars, while out for a walk in my mountains, during boring teacher staff meetings and more.

P.P.P.S.: For those curious to know what interested FR-readers the most in 2015, here is the list:

LEAKED: First Official Images of the Fujifilm X-E2s :: Specs? It’s all about the Firmware!

Share

Ok, this is the X-E2s… an X-E2 with an “s”marking and with a slightly different hand grip. And the hand grip might be already the only “hardware-improvement” compared to the X-E2 (still 16MP X-TransII sensor and EXR II Processor, no tilt screen)

The improvements are Firmware based, like the Electronic shutter, New AF-system and Classic Chrome (CC already available alsoin X-E2. X-E2s will not have new X-Pro2 Acros film simulation).

AmazonUS: “Fujifilm Instax Film is Best Selling Photo Product of this Holiday Season!”

Share

 

AmazonUS says it lound and clear: The best selling Photo Prouct of this Holiday Season is the Fujfilm Instax Film!

And believe it or not, this kind of news is very important also for the X-series, because the terrific earnings Fujfilm makes with Instax Cameras are fueling the development costs of the X cameras!

That’s why Fuji keeps up releasing new Instax models, from the brand new Selfie Instax Mini 70 to the Instax Wide 300 and the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic, or even the Instax Mini “Hello Kitty”. And of course the Instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-1.

Let’s see if in 2016 also the X-series (with the X-Pro2 and X-T2) can contribute to make some nice profits for Fuji’s imaging division.

According to our sources, the Fujfilm X-E2s will feature the same 16MP X-TransII sensor of its predecessor, the X-E2.

Always according to FujiRumors sources, the most relevant changes/improvements compared to the X-E2 will be firmware based.

It will be announced along with the X-Pro2 and the XF100-400, on the 15th of January.

I hear you are scared now about your long rumored X-E2 Firmware update. Don’t worry. I have multiple confirmation from sources and even Fujifilm itself said that it will come in… mid-January. Just read this post.
