The popular magazine Impress Japan shared his forecast on the Fuji 2013 key developments and news. They predict that Fuji will launch a new Full Frame X camera, new entry level X cameras and new improved X-Tran sensors. Of course that’s pure speculation but they also interviewed Mr.Nishimura (Fuji manager). They may spilled out some info from him?
Form what I heard there is no FF X camera on the horizon for the next 6-8 months…
As petapixel reports, Kodak sold valuable imaging patents for $525 million to various companies. “The deal involves more than 1,100 patents related to the capturing, manipulating, and sharing of digital photographs.” Fujifilm is part of the consortium that purchased Kodak patents.
“Although this sale leaves Kodak empty-handed in terms of digital imaging patents, the company is still loaded with patents related to other areas of its business… Now that the sale has been completed, Kodak is free to move forward with its plans of conquering the world of commercial printing.”

The blog fujifilm-x-opinions.net just posted the second part of his “Trinity” review. X-PRO1 vs X-E1 vs X-100. How is the autofocus performance in low light? Click here ti read it.
And a few days ago I posted the X-PRO1 part 1… WOW! (click here) review. Now ianmacmicheal posted his second part, and it’s WOW again! Read it here! The camera isn’t great or good… it’s excellent! Look at his “real life” shots in a restaurant, read about the high ISO performance and his Lightroom workflow.
FujiFilm released a new firmware update (version 1.01) for the 18-55mm lens. The new firmware “will mitigate any high frequency noise from the optical image stabilization module which can very occasionally occur when the lens is used at extremely low temperatures.“.
Fujifilm is ready to launch the X20! The X10 is a little great camera. Fujirumors yet reported that this camera won the StuffUK Award. Now it’s time also for this one to retire, and the replacement is ready to hit the market. I don’t have any informations about the specs right now. But I’ll follow the hint.
