photo pricedrop_zps383d310e.jpgYesteday I told you NOT to grab the $139 discounted X-E2, as better deals will start on May 25th. Well, in fact some stores decided to anticipate the deals and offer the $200 price drop starting from now!

So you can find the X-E2 with kit lens $200 off at AmazonUS (via top rated third party seller CameraSpot, free shipping). The discount applies only to the black kit version.

There are, at the moment of this post, just three available… so act fast, or wait the 25th of May.

And thanks for the link, Matt.

X30 coming on July 3rd? (via dpreview)

Share

photo disc_zps3d7370f3.jpg

silver X20 discontinued at BHphoto

X20 (save $50): AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama / Pictureline

Hi all!

There is a forum member over at dpr, who claims to have the following information:

The X30 will be annonced on July 3rd. It will have a 1″ X-Trans sensor. There will also be a “cheaper compact based on the X100.” (the X70 rumored by Fujirumos already months ago here).

The source of the rumor? Well, the author (“labe”) gives different sources for his information (at one point saying “XJR china” (xjrumo) and another point saying “PM from a friend”).

I have to agree with FR-reader John (who passed me the link, thanks): „I guess it might be slightly more reliable (but only slightly) if there’s some photography event that day.“

The X30 was rumored to come in February/March by digicame-info. A FR-source corrected it and said that it was to early, as it will come in “summer”.

This is a reminder to all those, who are tempted to grab the $139 discounted X-E2 at BHphoto, AmazonUS and Adorama. The price is tempting ($1259 for the black kit and other combinations $100 off too), but, according to my sources, the price will drop even further to $1199 (kit $200 off / body $150 off).

So please resist to the siren songs of these deals, as better ones are coming very soon.

I hope this reminder can help someone out there to save some more bucks. And in case you’re willing to grab the X-E2 on May 25th, feel free to do it by using on one of the shoplinks I’ll share on Fujirumors. You’ll donate a small percentage on your purchase to Fujirumors, and the good thing is, that it won’t cost you a single penny more on the X-E2. So, same price for you, and a small commission to FR, which will help to keep this blog running. Thanks in advance to those who decide to support FR.

Digital Medium Format Camera from Fujifilm coming by the end of summer? (new + anonymous source)

Share

photo FUJIGF670W_zps24f76c44.jpeg

Tell me, why go “just” Full Frame? According to a new and also an anonymous source, Fujifilm will launch a digital medium format mirrorless camera.

Of course, for now, be very careful with this information and take it with the usual grain of salt. That said, here is what the 2 sources told me:

New Source

Fuji will launch a digital Medium Format camera by the end of summer.

Anonymous Source

Fuji is working on a digital medium format mirrorless camera. The prototype is said to look like a [shoplink 12882 ebay]X-PRO1[/shoplink], with hybrid viewfinder, but more of a size of the Fuji GF670. The prototype is using the same Sony CMOS sensor present in the Pentax 645z.

_ _ _

It’s a tough battle in the fiercly contested mirrorless market! Latest rumors suggest that also Sony will launch a Mamiya 7 style MF camera (source-SAR). But, as the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough get going! And Fuji seems to be ready to face the challenge.

Keep in mind that the Sony and the Fuji rumor are both still NOT confirmed by trusted sources.

However, if the rumors are true, then also Fujifilm has some trump cards to pull out of its sleeve. A Medium Format digital mirrorless camera, the rumored X200, X30 and the X-PRO2. (OMG, lots of rumors I have to work on! ;-) )

Ok, I’ll put my best also into this rumor and see if I can confirm the MF Fuji ASAP. Of course, feel free to help me and to make my work a bit easier. If you decide to share some information, you can do it completely anonymously via rumor box (if you don’t mind, use a nickname, so that I can eventually recognize you in future), or contact me via email at fujirumor [at] gmail.com.
