Sonyalpharumors just reported the following rumor:
“The RX100 camera series is a unique and very successful camera line. But Sony shared the RX100M3 sensor to Panasonic (for the FZ-1000). And according to two m0re anonymous sources they are also likely going to share it to Fuji and Samsung as well!”
I remind you that Fuji’s APS-C sensors are already manufactured by Sony.
Hi all,

If you remember, back in January an anonymous source (with nick-name) told us that Fuji dropped plans to produce an X-PRO1S. All R&D was placed into the X-PRO2. But, so the source, sensor and design were not finalized at that time.
A few months later, rumors of an Fujifilm X-PRO2 featuring a FF sensor were quickly corrected by the trusted Japanese FR-source, who told us that it will feature an APS-C sensor.
And now the dice might have been cast. According to an anonymous source, Fujifilm decided to put a 24MP APS-C sensor into the X-PRO2.
But the source shared some more details: the X-PRO2 will have a tilting LCD screen and, as to expect, a built-in WiFi. The camera should be in stores in 2015 (the source said February, but, as we know, this is always a tricky part of rumors, as Fuji can change the date in any moment).
Another question is if it will be announced in 2014 or 2015. Mirrorlessrumors said here that it will be announced at the photokina (September). This anonymous source told me the same, but for now I’ll wait for more feedback before confirming any date (I hear different dates). It could be the photokina, the CES (January) or even another day with no imaging fair (as the X-T1, which was launched in January 28). I’ll work on it and hopefully be able to give you an update soon (and any help is warmly welcome).
However, the Fujifilm X-PRO2 should be available only in 2015.
You know it, take it with a grain of salt.
If you can help me to find out more, feel free to contact me completely anonymously via rumor box (and maybe give yourself a nick-name, so that I can eventually identify you in future if you decide to share some more rumors) or drop me an email at fujirumor [at] gmail.com.
And now let’s have a look at the rumored X-PRO2 specs list (including rumors posted by other rumor sites):
(TS= trusted source / NeS =New Source / ASwN = Anonymous source with nick-name / AS = Anonymous Source / SRP = source who was right in the past, but not yet trusted / ORS = other rumor sites)

I’m a lucky owner of [shoplink 21553]X-T1[/shoplink] from Russia and several days ago I’d been traveling in Iceland with friends. It is a country where every photographer (even the worst one with an old mobile phone camera) can feel like a superprofi.
Only two years ago I owned [shoplink 16850]5Dmk2[/shoplink] with EF 24-70/2.8 and a full kit of accessories for wedding photography – it was my little hobby (I’m far from profi). But suddenly I’d got a lack of free time for my hobby and decided to sell everything, because my DSLR was gathering dust on the shelf due to its size and weight.. But I couldn’t stop taking photos and bought [shoplink 15293 ebay]Fuji X100[/shoplink], which I think is really a great camera. I’ve owned X100 for 2 years and everything was good but I felt a great lack of lens change ability… So when I heard rumors about X-T1 I already knew what I would buy next.
And here it is Iceland! Real challenge for new Fuji… with only [shoplink 12889]XF35/1.4[/shoplink]. I was ready to chew my hands off because several weeks ago I’ve sold my [shoplink 12887]XF18-55 lens[/shoplink]. No, XF35 is an excellent lens but it’s about crime to go to Iceland without wide and zoom lenses. It was my first and the most serious mistake. Next time I hope I’ll have XF 16-55 f/2.8.
But 35mm is better than no lenses and such fix is very strict lens and makes you think very carefully before you make a shot.
The second mistake – I took only one battery. I charged it every night but its 250-300 frames capacity was extremely insufficient for me during the all day. So it made me think twice before making a shot. Next time I’ll take at least 2 batteries.
And the final mistake – memory card. I thought that 32GB card would be enough for me. No, it would not! I had to delete several photos to shoot some more. So it made me think thrice before shooting.
And now I can say that it was challenge not only for my camera but for me. As for X-T1 – now I like it much more: its weather sealed body helped me to shoot near waterfalls and during heavy rain; its lightweight allowed me to climb over hills and mountains and so on.
As a result of my trip here are some of my most favorite shots. By the way, some of them were taken out of the car while moving!
