According to an anonymous source, Fuji will announce a X series camera with an 1” sensor in the next few months (around September / October). It could have a fixed zoom lens with a range similar to the one of the Fujifilm X-S1, which has a 24-624mm zoom lens.
Sounds a lot like the Fujifilm X-S2, but this is not part of the rumor.
Anyway, will we soon have the first X-series camera featuring a 1” sensor?
To be clear, the grain of salt is mandatory with every rumor I share (especially anonymous rumors). Don’t take everything as a fact, just because my rumor hit rate is of almost 90% in 2015 – btw, many of them shared by anonymous sources.
I hope I will be able to confirm it via trusted source as soon as possible, and that I can say once again: “Hey, I told you” ;) .
An anonymous source told me that both, the XF100-400 and XF120mmF2.8 1:1 Macro, have been delayed.
The reason for the delay? The source said that Fuji was not fully satisfied with the IQ of the 100-400 and they want to improve it further. Also, Fuji was (and still is) very busy to satisfy the high demand on current WR lenses.
In the latest roadmap here, Fuji expected the XF100-400 to be available in March, and the XF120mm in May. The anonymous source did not share any new expected release date for now.

Admiringlight just published its Fujifilm X-T10 review. Here an excerpt from the conclusions:
“The X-T10 is about 90% of an X-T1 for 61% of the price. […] I think the X-T10 slides ahead of the X-E2 for the role of second fiddle in the Fuji lineup, and it makes the X-E2 frankly hard to recommendat this pointunless you really much prefer the rangefinder styling. The X-T1 still has desirable upgrades over the X-T10: it’s weathersealed, has an ISO dial, a much larger viewfinder, better ergonomics and a far deeper buffer for burst shooting, but those differences aside, they two X-T cameras are remarkably similar.
[…] The closest competitor is, of course, Sony’s outstanding A6000 […] I prefer the controls and general operation of the X-T10, and I feel the JPEG output and color response is superior. TheFuji RAW files can also be pushed far harder in the shadowsthan those of the A6000and still hold up.
Surprisingly, I actually think the X-T10 has better autofocus. The A6000 has better tracking over more of the frame, and it’s the better sports camera due to the deeper buffer, but the X-T10 tracks just as well in the central zone and is superior at locking focus in dim light in single shot situations.”
It was a long wait, which wasn’t really made easier by all the amazing reviews we’ve read over the last few weeks about this lens. But now time has come: the XF 90mmF2 now starts to be widely available.
It is now in stock at AmazonUS & BHphoto. Adorama has is listed in stock since a few days already.
