Rico’s X100T Sample ImagesX100T Specs

As the Fujifilm X100T is about to become available all over the world, I think this is a good time to share my first impressions with this classic, modern camera. I was able to evaluate a pre-production model for several weeks, going through a few revisions of beta firmware in the process.

 

 

Same, Same, But Different

The X100T uses the same 16.3 MP X-Trans II sensor and 23mm (35mm full-frame equivalent) lens as its predecessor, the X100S. Despite that, it often feels like a different camera—in a good sense. How’s that even possible? It appears that Fujifilm kept what made the X100 and X100S popular (and also quite unique), so the DNA remains intact. On the other hand, there is a plethora of enhancements affecting both hardware and firmware. They all seem to share one common goal: to make the camera more accessible and user-friendly, to make sure that the camera doesn’t get in the way between you and your photography, and to be a genuine pleasure to work with.

“VISION 2016”: High-end X-series cameras in Fujifilm’s Medium-Term Management Plan!

 photo vision_zpsee5ad26d.jpg

THE HARD BEGINNING

Just 3 years ago a lot of people were sceptical about the X-series’ future… and they had very good reasons for that. From it’s start on, the Fujifilm X series lost money. At the beginning, the best selling X-series camera was the Fujifilm X100 (sold 130,000 times). But hey, every beginning is hard. The system was new, it was not mature enough to meet the need of photographers, and it still had to find its place in the market.

FROM THE HOPE TO THE ENTRY LEVEL FLOP

Something changed with the arrival of the Fujfilm X-E1 and a couple of months later the Fujifilm X100S, which were not really a big success, but at least Fuji was able to sell a decent number of them… and I dare to say, the Fujifilm X100S could have sold MUCH better, if there wouldn’t have been those biblical shipping times… the DDR (or GDR) delivered their Trabants faster than Fujifilm their cameras :) .

But, for some reason, Fujifilm decided to attack also the entry-level market and launched the XF1, the XQ1, the X-M1, the X-A1… a debacle for Fujifilm. Lot’s of R&D resources put into a deep, black hole!

THE NAKED TRUTH

And in November 2013 the New York times published here the naked truth: Fujifilm sold, overall, just 700,000 X-series cameras! The X-series was a super-small niche with an uncertain future.

THE REBIRTH … or … THE FUJIFILM X-T1

However, Fujifilm reacted, stepped on the gas and released the Fujifilm X-E2 just one year after the Fujifilm X-E1. The camera sold pretty good for Fujifilm standards… but the real winner was and still is the Fujifilm X-T1. It sold so well, that, as Fuji says in their latest report, it saved the imaging division and kept it profitable (along with instant cameras & instax film)!

THE FUTURE

It seems that now Fujifilm is looking with more optimism at the future. In an interview at the photokina in September 2014 here, Fujifilm Senior Manager Mr. Toshihisa Iida said: “Over the past few months I’ve been getting more confident“.

And today Fujifilm published their Medium-Term Management Plan called “VISION 2016”, where they say that they will  “focus on high-end digital cameras “X Series” and expand sales of highly profitable interchangeable lenses“.

I just hope that the name “VISION 2016” does not refer in any way to the Fujifilm X-PRO2… we want it in 2015 ;).

eXodus to Fuji-X for weddings: “Whatever Fuji did with the X-Trans sensor seems to work pretty damn well” (Vincent)

 photo wedding_zps40551987.jpg

Last week I’ve posted the story of Lukas’ switch to Fuji for weddings and portrait photographers here (after 15 years of Nikon). And it seems that the eXodus (as they call it at PetaPixel) continues .

I shoot weddings for a living” says Vincent over at his blog vopoku here, “there is no way I will compromise on delivering the best results I can for my clients just for a fun experience.”  So at the end, what matters, is the image quality, and (amongst the others) that is what convinced Vincent to make the full switch to Fuji. He uses the Fujifilm X-PRO1 + Fujifilm X100S and shot two full wedding seasons exclusively with those cameras.

Whatever Fujifilm did with the X-Trans sensor seems to work pretty damn well. […] These cameras happens to be the right tools in my hands at the right time. I mean, it could have been a DSLR system, it could have been another CSC, but the Fujifilm X-System became and still is my tool of choice.”

Read the whole story at vopoku here.

I did this shot with the X100S and a remote release, almost 200 shots until the lightning strike, I set for 1.6s exposure at f/11 and ISO 400 for the landscape, lock the remote and waited for the magic… I was hoping for any lightning and I got this amazing composition with a little cropping to do.This camera is so unbelievable, I printed the image on a 1×1,7m canvas, the quality is remarkable!!! I am waiting for the next version of the X-T1, with, maybe, a higher pixel count, to fill my bag with Fuji gear. Kleber Steinbach

Sigma says: “Mirrorless will grow! We will expand lens offer for as many CSC systems as possible” (also for Fuji-X?)

One of their current lenses for mirrorless MFT and E-mount systems is the 19mm f/2.8.

CEO Kazuto Yamaki said at DSLRmagazine (google translation here) that the mirrorless system camera market will grow further. And he promised Sigma will expand their offer of lenses for those systems.

“[google translated] I’m pretty sure the market for CSC will grow in the future, do not know how, but we have the belief that we must support as many possible systems and already have a few goals for this segment and we would expand that product line. “

Will there also be some Fuji lenses? Officially Sigma is still denying upcoming X-mount lenses. Maybe they should take a look at the Fujifilm X-T1 sales figures and they would see that Fuji isn’t that super-small niche anymore.

New products are likely to be announced in February at the CP+ show. Fingers crossed to get some “cheap” but still good high quality lenses also for Fuji. Do not forget that Sigma can also make superb lenses like the 50mm ART which is almost as good as the 4 times as expensive Zeiss Otus. Just to say that, on paper, Sigma could match the Fuji X lens optical quality.

Fuji Rep says: “Firmware update for the X-E1 coming too (with Classic Chrome)” – New Source

 photo KAIZEN_zps1fdb780f.png

Ok, given the rumor I’ve posted last week here, that said that the X-E2 won’t get Classic Chrome via firmware udpate, I now already hear you say: “This makes no sense, Patrick! Why should the X-E1 get Classic Chrome, and the X-E2 not?” And your doubts are absolutely understandable, but…

… but what would you have thought if, back in June, I’d have said: “You know what guys? Fuji will soon bring out a firmware update that adds direct Instax SHARE Smartphone Printer SP-1 support to the entry level cameras X-A1, XQ1 and X-M1… but not to the X-E2? Well, you probably would have said, “this makes no sense, Patrick! Why should the cheap Fujifilm cameras get this feature via firmware update, and the superior X-E2 not?” But that’s what happened. The entry level cameras have received this feature via firmware udpate, and the much better X-E2 (still) not. Makes no sense, but that’s it!

I’ve made this little introduction just to let you know that, with Fujifilm, everything is possible, even that the X-E1 gets Classic Chrome, and the X-E2 not.

And here is the rumor: a new source had a talk with a Fuji Rep at the Photoplus in NY. The source, who owns an Fujifilm X-E1, asked if his X-E1 will get Classic Chrome, and the Fujifilm Rep answered that the X-E1 will indeed get the CC Film Simulation via firmware update by the end of this year.

Now, in the past, the Fujifilm X-E1 and Fujifilm X-PRO1 were updated contemporaneously with the same features, so, if the rumor is correct (and the Fuji Rep was well informed and didn’t confuse X-T1 with X-E1), I’m pretty confident that also the X-PRO1 will get Classic Chrome.

That said, please consider that the X-E2 firmware rumor with no Classic Chrome and also the rumor shared with you today, they both come from NEW SOURCES, so please don’t take them as a fact, but as what it is: a rumor… or, as Ernest Hamlin Abbott said: “Rumors are not news; but they sometimes foreshadow news.” So take it with a grain of salt for now.
