According to a Source, who was right in the past, the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will feature a new black&white film simulation called “ACROS“, like Fuji’s Professional black & white negative film, the Neopan ACROS 100.

At AmazonUS you can find some ACROS reviews and samples.

As always, everyone has different needs and different tastes, but for me film simulation are fun and I’m looking forward to this one, too.

I also got a hint from an anonymous source about this (thanks).

stay tuned,

Firmware rumors are apparently very tricky not only for Fujirumors (Fuji can postpone the launch in any moment, if the FW is not bug-free), but they are tricky also for Fujifilm itself.

As you know, on December 11 here, Fujifilm USA has officially shared on their website the details of X-T1 FW4.20. They also wrote that it will be available for download on December 17… and I guess Fujfilm USA can be considered an Ultra Top Trusted Source.

And probably the Firmware really was originally planed for December 17, but according to FR sources, at this stage, Fuji has no plans to release the X-T1 Firmware on December 17.

This could explain, why the Firmware Announcement has been taken off shortly after it went online… but luckily there is google cache, which stored the information from the Fujifilm USA page, so we can still read the entire official announcement.

On December 17 we will get the final answer. But don’t worry: the Video Button will become a FN-button… and all the other goodies :)
