I’ve squeezed out my sources like a lemon in these months, and I don’t know what else I can leak. Maybe one of last things I will be able to find out for you is the time, when the X-T1 will be officially announced.

It’s 04:30 AM London Time, this Tuesday, January 28th (11:30 PM, January 27th, New York).

I’ll make a live blogging sessions here on Fujirumors. It will be the final chapter in one of the longest and most leaked rumor stories on Fujirumors (thanks a lot to all sources who cooperated with FR).

As you know, it’s also the moment where you can choose to support several months of leaks and restless work on FR. If the X-T1 is the camera you’ve waited for, feel free to use one of the shoplinks (Amazon, Bhphoto and Adorama & Co) on this blog to purchase it. No extra costs for you, but you’ll allow me to keep this blog running.

I’m already looking beyond the X-T1… and with your support, we could have a great rumor-time also in 2014 ;-)

stay tuned,

Hi all

Some people asked me via personal message on facebook, twitter and email, if they should go for the X-T1 or if the X-PRO2 will be available anytime soon.

I’ve already told you that it won’t come before late 2014, but more likely in 2015 here.

Also Mr.Kawahara and other Fuji Managers said that “there are no plans for an X-PRO1 replacement for now”, because they are waiting to achieve a “major breakthrough”. So it will be radically different to what it is now (organic sensor? Full Frame?).

That said, I’d like to share a rumor from an anonymous source who already told us some X-T1 specs that I think will be correct (price $1,300, 1 card slot, X-T1 + 18-135 in April/May for $1,800…). (Thanks a lot for sharing!)

This source said:

• X-Pro2
• Announcement in 2014
• Available in 2015
• Design & sensor not finalized as of yet.

So, it’s still a pretty long wait for the X-PRO2. But I’ll try to entertain you with some rumors in the meantime .

The anonymous source contacted me via rumor box and gave itself a fake name, which allows me to recognize it in future. You can do the same if you want, or also create a fake email account and contact me.

cheers

FR-source drphotorumor shared the following image with us: X-T1 with flash and 18-135mm f3.5-5.6. He told me that the X-T1 “has a very cool wifi option you can tether it from your phone.”

A FR-reader told me via email (fujirumor@gmail.com): “since 23.01.2014 there is a new Fujifuilm remote app in the Itunes Store.”

As the Japanese source, also drphotorumor now confirms: no double SD-card slot, but UHS-II protocol support.

An anonymous source shared some more details, some of them confirm what’s already been rumored here:

-$1300 body only
-1 card slot
-Similar size to X-E2, not smaller
-New manual focus features within EVF.
-Comes with new hotshoe flash included.
-Same battery as X-Pro1/X-E2.
-18-135 will be kit lens in April/May.. $1800 kit price.

Stay tuned on FR on Janaury 28th early in the morning London Time!
