Maybe their was a grain of truth in rumors shared back in June, when some sources told me about an X-T1 upgrade/limited edition.

In fact, according to the anonymous source with nick-name (thanks a lot) who’s sharing a lot of stuff, there will be a new “Graphite Silver Edition” X-T1 and it will cost $200 more than the [shoplink 21553]“classic” Fujifilm X-T1[/shoplink].

It should feature the (already rumored) 1/32,000 electronic shutter speed and the Classic Chrome film simulation.

The silver version will also come with deluxe accessories like a leather shoulder strap and aluminum hot shoe cover.

These are hot days. There is a long list of rumors shared in the last week. And there is more to come. So follow Fujirumors also via facebook, google+, RSS-feed and twitter

VOX POPULI

Silver or Black, that is the question. And of course, a question only you can answer, since “de gustibus non est disputandum“. My personal taste? There are X-cameras that I prefer in black (Fujifilm X-E2) and others that I prefer in silver (Fujifilm X100S).

And what about the Fujifilm X-T1, rumored to come in silver at the photokina?

In order to help us to answer this question, FR-reader Michel did some photoshop work for us and created a silver and black X-T1. And, although it’s not part of the rumors, I decided to include also the Titanium version of MJr (last image). Just for fun ;-).

So, compare the images and vote the poll. Thanks a lot, Michel & Maurice!

First Fujifilm X30 deal (already!): buy it in UK and get a free X30 leather case (worth £70)!

On the same day, when the Fujifilm X30 was launched, I wrote a post about how low the pre-orders on the X30 were. My consideration was based on the AmazonUS P&S ranking, the biggest online retailer on the world, which showed the X30 at the 71th position of the ranking… but just for short time, as it was quickly kicked out of the first 100 top position.

Now, I consider the first day ranking on AmazonUS like the first polls on election days… for sure not the final result, but a pretty reliable indication about how people react to a new product.

Of course I could be wrong. Maybe people are just waiting to see what will come at photokina before pre-ordering anything. Maybe AmazonUS isn’t a good indicator for good or bad sales. Everything is possible, but based on my experience, what sells good on world’s largest online retailer AmazonUS, will very likely sell good also elsewhere. But I’m ready to post apologize if I’m wrong… but I’m afraid I’m not! And one of the reasons for the slow start is for sure the price. Customers perceive the $599 price tag as too high.

Now , in UK there is already the first deal on the Fujifilm X30, and it’s the following: buy the Fujifilm X30 and get a free leather case worth £70! You can find the free leather case deal in UK at wexphotographic here and also at cameraworldUK and AmazonUK. [NOTE: some readers told me that also the deal at wex and AmazonUK startet with the launch of the Fuji X30]

In Canada, X30 pre-orders have always included an extra bonus battery and charger at Vistek and Broadway Cameras.

But hey, they told me that it’s not important how the story starts, but how it ends. So good luck, Fujifilm X30!

Much has been already rumored, but not all. And thanks (!!!) to the anonymous source with nick-name, I can now post a X100T specs update:

The big news seems to be the HVF, which is confirmed to have a real time parallax correction in the OVF. The screen will be a non tilting 1.04 dot 3-inch LCD screen, which will make it bigger than on the X100S. The lens will remain the same. The focus speed is of 0.08 seconds. As previously rumored, there will be an electronic shutter speed of 1/32,000. The X100T will also feature 7 function buttons. Also expected, the Classic Chrome film simulation.

So here is the updated specs list:
