FR-reader Luke stumbled on this interesting dpreview thread. The screenshot can found at reddit.com.

Apparently, David Hobby uploaded a set of sample images from the X100T to his Flickr account by mistake. The images have since been removed, as he broke his NDA (non-disclosure agreement) by publishing them.

The name is nothing new for FR-readers. I told you over a month ago that X100T could be the name of the X100S successor. The focal lenght remains 23 (APS-C, according to mirrorlessrumors).

  • 23mm (leaked by X-photographer David Hobby)
  • new EVF, better than X100S, but not as much as X-T1 (NeS)

USA: BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / – EUROPE: wexUKwexDE / PCHstore – / AUSTRALIA: Camerapro

The 18-135 is coming. It’s already available in Asia, in some stores in Europe and expected to come in USA by the end of this month.

In the meantime, X-guru Rico was in Berlin with a production version of the first weather resistant lens of Fujifilm and he shared some full size samples on his Flickr here. All the night shots were taken handheld using the 5 stop OIS at shutter speeds between 1/4s and 1/15s…. impressive results! You can leave your tripod at home now ;-).

Fujifilm X30 with 2/3-inch sensor (trusted Japanese source)

Share

 photo 23_zps28604b85.jpg

I know, other rumor sites reported rumors of an X30 with a 1“ sensor (or bigger). But according to our top trusted Japanese source, that’s not correct. The sensor will remain a 2/3 one. I have no reason to doubt what the trusted Japanese source told me.

Let’s start it again, the rumored specs list:

(TS= trusted source / NeS =New Source / AS = Anonymous Source / SRP = source who was right in the past, but not yet trusted / ORS = other rumor sites)

  • 2/3 sensor (TS)
  • announcement at photokina (ORS)

Reminder: the rumor of a release on July 3rd was spread by a forum member of dpreview. FR just reported about it.

X-shooter FB zone: “Fuji must be doing something right to attract so many talented artists.” (Sony Photographer Christopher)

Share

Nick Franchi: FujiFilm XT1 12mm Zeiss …. Teton National Park

_ _ _

I’d like to introduce you to today’s X-shooter facebook zone (featuring the most liked images you shared on facebook), with the words of Sony photographer Christopher.

Christopher said in the comments to this X-shooter post here:

“I’m surprised that posts like these don’t get more comments, because these posts are such an inspiration to me. I’m not a Fuji shooter (and I can’t afford to switch systems), but I check this site every day just to see what people are doing with their X cameras. These X-shooter Zone posts are often the highlight of my internet week, because I am constantly impressed by what the Fuji community is doing photographically.

I know that what I’m seeing has more to do than just what a certain camera can do–these photographers would be skilled with whatever system they’re using. Yet for some reason, be it the style of photography that seems to attract X shooters or something else, the amount of high-quality and interesting photography that your community produces astounds me.

I’m a Sony shooter myself, and I love my camera and my workflow, but (and I know this shouldn’t bother me), I feel that I have no kindred spirits in the Sony world–I’ve yet to come across the work of another Sony photographer that speaks to me like the work of so many of these Fuji photographers. Maybe it’s just that SAR and the other E-mount forums aren’t highlighting the right work, or maybe it really is the camera’s potential or some other reason, but I feel compelled to acknowledge that as a lover of photography regardless of brand names, these X shooter posts have really helped to shape my photographic vision (even though I don’t own a Fuji camera).

I understand the love of photography your cameras instill, and I just want to say thank you. Maybe I’ll be one of you someday, and maybe not, but Fuji must be doing something right to attract so many talented artists. Keep up the good work and I’m sure that many more people than are represented in the comments here appreciate your work!”

There is nothing to add to these wonderful words… well, just the images ;-)

enjoy, and let’s take some awesome shots today,
