RUMOR: Downspec’d Fujifilm X-T1 to be called… X-T10 (NeS + SRP)

Share

photo X-T10 Mpckup_zps3ojft8nz.jpg

Back on the 12th of January I shared the rumor about a cheaper version of the X-T1. When I spread the rumor, some of you speculated that it could be called X-T10. Well, seems you were right, at least according to a New Source (NeS) and a Source who was right in the past (SRP).

So, Fujifilm X-T10… this could be the name of this downspec’d X-T1… and it sounds like this camera that is going to compete directly with the Olympus EM-10.

But tell me, are you excited by the idea of a cheaper version of the X-T1?

And now go, my fellow X-shooter and spread the word (+ quote the source ;) ).

facebook, google+, RSS-feed and twitter

P.S.: For those who don’t won’t a cheaper version of the X-T1, but a cheaper X-T1, check out the X-T1 deals below!

Fuji will release a firmware update for the Nissin i40 to enable HSS flash sync with TTL metering! (src – Nissin Rep)

Share

photo Nissin_zpsab9eb8ca.jpg

You might remember that, at the beginning of February, FR-reader Sascha told us in the comments to the “Wild Rumors post“, how to force HSS on your Nissin i40. The tirck spread also on wimarys‘ website.

The trick works, you can enable HSS… but without TTL metering.

Well, wimarys had a conversation with a Nissin rep, who told him that Nissin is “waiting for the HSS firmware update to be released by Fujifilm”. This update will allow you to use HSS with TTL metering!

thanks for the link, vadim.

And what about the long expected (and rumored) Fujifilm Flash?

I was a bit worried when, a few days ago, I shared the news that the mecablitz 26 AF-1 digital release has been pushed back to April. As FR-reader Just a Thought commented: “The delay might well be due to the insolvency that Metz went through.”

You might wonder why this should affect the release of the Fuji flash.

As you can read in this rumor, a source told us that the Fujifilm Flash will be made by Metz. And back in November 2014 a tursted source told us that it was expected to come in spring 2015. Well, I hope the insolvency of Metz won’t affect the release of this (really needed!) flash… or that the anonymous source was not right and the flash is not made by Metz.

CP+ German XF Hands-On video: “XF 100-400 probable aperture range from f/5 to f/5.6 to make it more compact”

ValueTechTV shared 2 short video presentations of some unreleased lenses at (Part1 –  Part2).

For non-German speaking FR-readers, here are what I consider the most interesting things they say:

Part 1: The XF35mmF2 will come end of 2015. It’s smaller than the 35mmF1.4, which is very good if you look through the OVF, so the lens protrudes less into the viewfinder. [admin: the journalist probably just forgot to add: “ if you look through the OVF… of the X-PRO2” ;) ]

Part 2: ValueTechTV says that the XF 100-400 was delayed, because Fuji decided to change the aperture range at the wide end [mock-ups at photokina showed an aperture range from F4 to F5.6]. Always according to ValueTechTV, Fuji is still “experimenting”, but it will have more or less a range that goes from F5 to F5.6 in order to make it more compact.
