THE X-T2 LEAK

UK store Cameraworld just published its X-T2 product presentation… happy reading :)

Oh… they also say a new roadmap will come as well as an X-Pro2 FW update… and at the very bottom some EF-X500 images

From Cameraworld UK X-T2 Page

FUJIFILM have announced the ultimate mirrorless digital camera FUJIFILM X-T2 that delivers creative perfection. The Fujifilm X-T2 offers outstanding image quality with FUJIFILM’s colour reproduction formulated over 80 years, advanced AutoFocus functions and 4K high definition video.

On September 8th 2016, the company will release the FUJIFILM X-T2 – the ultimate mirrorless digital camera that uses advanced technologies to achieve premium image quality, outstanding operability and beautiful design reminiscent of traditional cameras.

The successor to the extremely popular X-T1, the Fujifilm X-T2 builds upon solid foundations to become the flagship DSLR-Style camera from Fujifilm. As part of the 5 Year Anniversary of the X-Series, the X-T2 is not only beautiful to hold, but rightly deserves it’s place as the premium camera for those who want both style and substance to the Mirrorless Range.

Fujifilm X-T2

The Fujifilm X-T2 combines the sensor and image processing engine developed by Fujifilm, with an ultra-sharp range of FUJINON lenses for excellent image resolution. Fujifilm’s colour-reproduction technology, formulated over 80 years, delivers images of unparalleled quality and realism, recording a subject’s textures, three-dimensional feel and even the atmosphere surrounding it.  Utilizing the same sensor as the Flagship rangerfinder-style, X-Pro2, the Fujifilm X-T2 incorporates a 24.3Million Pixels X-Trans CMOS III which produces incredible, pin-sharp results.

The X-T2’s compact and lightweight camera body is also dust-resistant, water-resistant and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C. Its autofocus and electronic viewfinder performance have both been substantially improved, making it more adaptable than ever before at shooting a moving subject under difficult conditions, such as sports or wildlife photography, which had previously been considered difficult with mirrorless cameras.

For the first time in the X Series, the X-T2 supports 4K video recording. The Film Simulation modes, used for still images, can be applied to video to easily produce premium-quality footage.

The X-T2’s design is modelled after the “central viewfinder style” of the FUJIFILM X-T1, which has been popular since its launch in 2014. This proven stable form factor provides a camera that is perfectly sized with ergonomic dials laid out exactly where they are needed for excellent, intuitive operability.

Fujifilm X-T2: First Impressions

The X-T2 is to become the X Series’ flagship model along with FUJIFILM X-Pro2, the world’s only rangefinder-style camera with the Hybrid Multi Viewfinder, released in March this year.  The two models deliver unparalleled performance in their distinctive fields, with the X-T2 excelling in portraiture, nature and sports photography, and the X-Pro2 ideal for snapshots and discreet documentary photography.

In short, Fujifilm have listened to every comment made about the X-T1, and even the X-Pro2, and added the results together in this stunning camera that produces amazing results in every shot, but also reacts as fast as you need in any given situation.  Faster, stronger, and ultimately better results make this an ideal choice of camera for those who want the perfect photographic experience.

VPB-XT2: Vertical Power Booster 

Not just any accessory, this is THE must have accessory to maximise the X-T2’s power and take it to it’s fullest potential.

It is dust-resistant, water-resistant and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C. It fits two batteries, bringing the total number of batteries to three, including the one on the camera, to increase the maximum number of frames that can be taken per charge to approx. 1,000 (Normal mode).

In the Boost mode, multiple batteries can operate at the same time to give a boost to camera performance in continuous shooting, shooting interval, shutter release time lag and blackout time, while also extending the duration of 4K video recording to approx. 30 minutes. It is an accessory that can maximize the performance of the X-T2.

Fujifilm VPB-XT2: Vertical Power Booster

The Grip features the shutter release button, focus lever, AE-L button, AF-L button, command dials, Q button and Fn button to provide the same level of excellent operability in vertical shooting as you get in horizontal operation.

The Grip also features a headphone jack to enable audio monitoring during video recording.

The Grip itself has battery-charging functionality. Using the AC adapter supplied (AC-9VS), you can fully charge two batteries at the same time in approx. 2 hours.

X-Pro2 Firmware Update & Updated Lens Roadmap

EF-X500 Flash

The EF-X500 is a hot-shoe mount flash with the maximum guide number of approx. 50. Its support for the FP mode (high-speed flash sync) means the flash can be fired at any shutter speed. This means you can concentrate on shooting when a faster shutter speed is required, for example, in order to use a near-maximum aperture to produce beautiful bokeh.

EF-X500 also supports multi-flash lighting. Set up multiple flashes to freely control light on a subject and background for a creative result. TTL lighting control is available with single flash and also in the multi-flash setup, so that you can start shooting without having to make cumbersome adjustments to light output.

[wysija_form id=”1″]

Just landet in my Inbox, and I share it right away:

there will be a new Firmware update for the Fuji X-Pro2 coming along with the X-T2 launch. At the moment I’m not 100% sure if it will be actually released, or just announced and released for download later on. But anyway: some Kaizen Love seems to come for the X-Pro2 :-) .

stay tuned… and don’t leave me alone here on FR tomorrow, July 7, at 01:00AM New York Time / 07:00 Paris Time… the new roadmap, the X-T2, the X-Pro2 Firmware, the flash… plenty of good things coming very soon.

Last Second Fuji X-T2 Rumors :: Available in September :: USB Charging :: New Images of Open SD-card/Accessory Door

Share

Fuji X-T2 USB Cable Charge

[wysija_form id=”1″]

_ _ _

Ok… we are at the finishing straight… but this is not a reason for me to stop leaking! (thanks, FR-sources… you just Rock!)

I have plenty of Coffee, Red Bull (and other unspecified drugs) ready to push me through the night until the X-T2 annoucement (tomorrow, July 7, at 01:00 AM New York Time). It will be one of the most awesome Live Bloggings I’ve ever did… and I’m so excited!

That said, take a look at these 3 rumors I’ve got from 3 different sources (thanks):

USB Charging

A trusted source told me that the X-T2 can be charged internally via USB 3 cable.

SD-card slot and Accessory Door

We saw it from the top, the back, the side, the front… and now our trusted Japanese source thought that something was missing: the inside!!! So it grabbed a Fuji X-T2 and opened the accessory and SD-card door. Enjoy the pics (see them at the top of the post) :-)

Available In September

Another tricky part of rumors, is to give an accurate date of when a new product will actually ship. In the past we have seen to many times Fuji announcing a date, and then changing it during pre-order period. But, sometimes, we have also seen some stores deliver a new product slightly before Fuji’s expected shipping date. So everything is possible, but for now I’d say that the X-T2 will ship in September (let’s hope early September).

Is that the consequence of the Kumamoto earthquake? I don’t know.

But what is sure: if you’d like the camera as soon as possible, you better pre-order it quickly. I have the feeling the shipping won’t proceed super-smooth and if pre-orders are high, there might be quite a shortage of X-T2’s for a while.

That said, I hope to be proven wrong tomorrow, and the X-T2 will ship already in August.
