Dear FR-readers,

I’ve waited a few days now, hoping for other trusted sources to confirm the following rumor. But they can’t, for now.

So, once again, we have to rely on what the top trusted Japanese source told me a few days ago.

I can’t wait further, so hold on tight now… time has come to share it with all of you!

The Japanese source told me that the X-T1 won’t have a double SD-card slot. The truth is that it will feature an improved SD-card memory system.

This means that the X-T1 will support the UHS-II SD-cards for super-fast writing speed. For example, the [shoplink 20816 ebay]Toshiba Exceria Pro UHS-II SD Card[/shoplink] writes at 240 MB/s! In comparison, the “fast” UHS-I [shoplink 20823]Sandisk Extreme Pro[/shoplink] writes at 90MB/s (95MB/s read rate)!

Also drastically improved, the burst mode! The X-T1 will be able to shoot with 8fps with AF tracking. I had to take a look at my X-E2 manual, and it says that the X-E2 achieves a maximum continuous shooting speed of 3 fps with AF tracking (7 without tracking).

Well, if true (I hope other trusted sources can confirm this soon), then this, my friends, will be a hell of a camera!

This is all I know from trusted sources for now… if anyone has some more information, please contact me via email or anonymously via rumor box.

At this point I believe that also the new source, who told me that the AF of the X-T1 will be faster than the AF of the X-E2 may have mixed up AF speed with writing speed. But it’s just my theory. So here is an updated specs list.

• announcement January 28th (trusted source)
• bigger (extra-large) and better (high performance) EVF / (trusted +  anonymous sources)
• APS-C X-Trans sensor II (16MP) / (trusted +  anonymous sources)
• support for the UHS-II SD-card for super-fast writing speed / (trusted sources)
• 8fps with AF tracking / (trusted source)
• weather sealed body / (trusted sources)
• name: X-T1 / (anonymous source + Fujifilm)
• FujicaST-like (SLR-type) design / (source who was right in the past, but not yet upgraded to trusted source)
• price range between X-E and X-PRO line / (new and anonymous sources)
• additional battery grip / (anonymous source)
• faster AF then X-E2 / (new source)

P.S.: in the meantime Fujifilm Middle East continues to tease that “something” that looks like a “shooting star” is “coming soon” from “somewhere out there”. To make it a bit clearer I modified their image :-)

Another FR-reader, Iannis, imagined how the X-T1 could look like, according to the rumors and the image leaked yesterday. Here are his two images, one with built in grip and one without.Which one do you like more? Thanks Iannis

Note the ISO-dial on the left site. I like that!

Is this the X-T1 what fujiXphotographer Ray Ohara is holding in his hands? The lens could be the [shoplink 12889]35mm 1.4[/shoplink] (see the lens hood shape).

The image was spotted by FR-reader jpuser who shared it in the comments to the previous rumor post. MJr retouched it to see it better. See the original image here.

Now, what about this one? Is this the camera that will be announced on January 28th? Yes or no? Feel free to vote the poll drop your thoughts in the comments.

Hi all

Another long rumor story is going to end soon.

I’ve spread the first rumors (from trusted sources) of a weather sealed X coming in January at the end of October here. Right in time and reason enough for some of you not to buy the just announced X-E2 and wait until January.

Since then my radar was always finely tuned on it and one by one the specs list grow rumor after rumor. Now it grew to the list you can read at the bottom.

Sure, take it with a grain of salt, especially those specs coming only from anonymous and new sources… but I’m convinced: this X-T1 will be something really awesome.

Well, just now the trusted Japanese source told me the date: January 28^th! That’s the day where the camera will be unveiled! So take note in your calendar and follow Fujirumors on that day!

Here is the specs list:

• announcement January 28th (trusted source)
• bigger (extra-large) and better (high performance) EVF / (trusted +  anonymous sources)
• APS-C X-Trans sensor II (16MP) / (trusted +  anonymous sources)
• double SD-card slot / (trusted sources)
• weather sealed body / (trusted sources)
• price range between X-E and X-PRO line / (new and anonymous sources)
• FujicaST-like design / (source who was right in the past, but not yet upgraded to the elite-team of trusted sources)
• faster AF than the X-E2 / (new source)
• additional battery grip / (anonymous source)
• name: X-T1 / (anonymous sources)

have great start in this new week,

P.S.: feel free to spread the word.
