UPDATE: Adorama Cancelled the $1,318 final price Mail-in Rebate on their site. It looks like they took off the deal and you can only save $700 and not $1,400 anymore. I recommend to those, who grabbed the deal, to contact Adorama and ask for clarification.

Adorama Told me now: “The customer can take advantage of one of the rebates but not both.”

ZEISS TOUIT DEAL

There is right now a Terrific Mail-In rebate on the Zeiss Touit for Fuji X Trinity. You can get the 12mmF2.8, 32mmF1.8 and 50mmF2.8 1:1 Macro for just $1,318! ($700 rebate from Adorama + you $700 rebate directly from Zeiss, hence $1,400 overall savings. That’s why Adorama clearly writes that the bundle will cost you overall just $1,318)

Check out the deal here at Adorama (comes with lots of freebies).

The deal is apparently not available at AmazonUS for now, while on BHphoto the bundle is listed here fpr $2,018 (no freebies) but they do not mention the mail-in rebate for now.

X-T1 DEAL

Even Top Rated US ebay seller [shoplink 44757 ebay][/shoplink] electronicsvalley knows it: the Fujifilm X-T2 is coming.

So that’s the moment to try to get rid of as many X-T1’s as possible. They are selling a limited number of [shoplink 44757 ebay]X-T1 with a $600 discount[/shoplink]!

Grey Market Item :: This item does not come with the official 1 year US Fujifilm warranty, but is covered by a 1 year seller Warranty.

The Full Fuji X70 review is online at dpreview. Here are the Pros and Cons:

Pros

Film Simulation modes are superb and even more accessible with new control ring
Smart and handy built-in interval timer shooting
USB charging can save the day
Tilting touchscreen adds versatility to this segment
In-camera Raw conversion lets you gain full benefit from JPEG engine

Plenty of customizable buttons
Excellent color from JPEG images

Cons

Critical detail at 100% suffers
Waxy-looking skin in high ISO images
AF tends to hunt
Lens is not as high of quality as its rivals
16MP X-Trans sensor is at the end of its life
No viewfinder
X-Trans sensor design limits Raw-converter choice
Lack of external charger makes it hard to keep a spare battery topped-up

Fujifilm X-T2 (probably) with a Pentax K1 alike Flexible-Tilt Screen (VIDEO) :: Good for Portraits but Not for Selfies! – POLL

K1a

[wysija_form id=”1″]

Recently, here on FujiRumors, you could see the first images of the Fujifilm X-T2. One of the features visible in the leaked images and that created a bit of confusion was the new articulating screen.

After seeing this image, some FR-readers had huge doubts. “Why would a screen come out in that direction?” and “am I the only one that absolutely hates the sideways articulating screen?” (images in this post)

However, as other FR-readers pointed out in the comments, it seems that the Fujifilm X-T2 does not have an articulating screen, but more likely features the same or similar tilt mechanism of the Pentax K1, called “Flexible-Tilt Screen” or “cross-tilt screen“. As described at BHphoto:

The Pentax K-1 has a unique 3.2″ cross-tilt LCD monitor, which can tilt upward 90°, down 44°, and left and right 35° for numerous positions.

The Pentax K-1 solution sounds great to me… perfect for landscape, portrait and macro work!

However, also the “flexible-tilt screen” has it’s limits compared to articulating screens. The Pentax K1 screen can not be used to take Selfies and you can’t protect the LCD-screen simply by rotating it 180°, as you can see in one of the Pentax K-S2 images here. Moreover, Videographers might prefer a swivel screen, too.

At the bottom of this post, I’ll share 2 videos: the first one shows how the flexible-tilt screen works, while the second one should reassure those, who think this mechanism could easily break (go to minute 0:12).

But first a little Poll:

TIPA AWARDS :: Triple Win for Fujifilm (X-Pro2, X-T10 and XF100-400)

Share

Triple win for Fujifilm at the TIPA Award 2016

1. TIPA BEST MIRRORLESS CSC EXPERT Award – The “FUJIFILM X-Pro2” Mirrorless Digital Camera – READ MORE
2. TIPA BEST MIRRORLESS CSC ENTRY LEVEL Award – The “FUJIFILM X-T10” Mirrorless Digital Camera – READ MORE
3. TIPA BEST CSC TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENS Award – The “FUJINON XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR” X Mount Interchangeable lens – READ MORE

The awards for Fujifilm are for sure deserved! But, as often with such awards, there are so many categories that it’s quite easy for every manufacturer to win an award.

For example, the X-Pro2 wins as best CSC Expert camera, but the SonyA7rII is the best professional CSC camera, while the Olympus E-M10 Mark II is the the best Advanced camera. I don’t really understand what’s the difference between Expert, Advanced and Professional. But more categories make more manufacturers happy.

NOTE: Next Year Fujifilm will win the Best Medium Format Camera (this year the award goes to the Phase One XF 100MP).
