X-A1

Hi again! I don’t think the X-A1 press release was supposed to be published already now, but well, the Czech site fotoskoda just posted it here (translation) together with the XF 23mm announcement. Yep, the blue X-A1 (I still have to get used to it) leaked by Fujirumors here wasn’t a fake image. This camera will be the cheapest of the X-series. [UPDATE: The Czech site disabled the link of the leaked X-A1 press release… but luckily it’s all copied on Fujirumors :)]

all the best

From the samples it seems that Fuji created another little gem. And what about focusing speed? Fuji says:

“The lens uses an internal focusing system for high speed autofocus. The focusing lens group consists of three cemented lens elements and one aspheric lens element to keep weight down while the built-in high-torque DC coreless motor delivers ultra-fast AF performance.”

I’m looking forward to the first hands-on reviews!

As you know, first comes first. If you want it in your hands in mid October (release is 16 October), act fast and be high on the waiting list. Pre-order here:

it will come :)

To all those guys who waited until late August for the X100 firmware and wrote me on facebook, twitter and via email at fujirumor@gmail.com that they have lost their hope in the X100 super-firmware. I tell you, it will come! The firmware was planed to be released earlier (a new source said late August), but apparently Fuji needs a bit more time to make it work perfectly (it won’t come tomorrow… but it won’t take long anymore).

The 130,000 X100 owners will get…

– focus peaking

– 20% faster autofocus

– better start-up time

… and much more!

Now share this rumor with all the X100 owners via facebook and twitter!

 Live-blogging tomorrow at about 6-7 AM London time

The XF 23mm is ready to be unveiled officially by Fuji. Hands-on reviews, press releases and pre-order links can be found all at Fujirumors tomorrow at about 6-7 AM London time. I’ll continuously update the post so that you do not miss anything. And follow FR via facebook, twitter and RSS feed.

stay tuned for more
Patrick
