The first X-E1 kit (with 18-55mm lens) in Europe through ebay is now available at ebay.it (click here). For € 1300 you can have this great kit and start to take shots. For the rest of the world, unless you are in Honk Kong or Taiwan, you still have to wait. Look at all the X-E1 kit available here on slidoo.
In the meantime B&H postponed the availability of the XF18-55 from Nov. 23 to November 28. See here.
As I told you yesterday on Sunday Fuji will launch a $300 rebate on the X PRO 1. There is also another good news. Fuji will bring back the special that when you purchase an X-Pro1 together with either an 18mm or a 35mm & save $300.00 . It means you save a total of $600!
Reminder: Keep an eye on all daily changin deals here: Amazon (cameras), Amazon (all stuff), Adorama, Bhphoto, J&R, TigerDirect, Bestbuy and eBay.
You still remember the long wish-list of Pedro Kok, about bugs he would like to have resolved, and features he would like to have added on the X-PRO1. There is always much hope that firmware upgrades could fix all the issues related to the software of a camera.
And indeed, this comparison of two X-PRO1 (firmware 1.11 vs firmware 2.0) shows how much can be done, added and fixed with upgrades. As you can see in this video (click here), the 2.0 firmware upgrade really brings faster autofocus, improved manual focus, better start up time, 3x magnification, added the auto-ISO 6400 option, better writing speed to the memory card…
The camera got faster, yes, but some users wrote us that the faster autofocus also leads to high percentage of mis-focussing. Tell me in the comments if you also noticed this. And did the new firmware 2.01 bring more auto focus accuracy?
Nevertheless, much can be done thanks to firmware updates. And some of them prove that Fuji is really listening to the feedback they receive from photographers. So Fuji, keep it up! And, Fuji, it’s not that far to Christmas. So take a look at the wish list of fujirumors followers in this post… ;-).
Leave a comment and extend the wish list! Here are just 12 improvements I’ve picked out from the comments. Choose three of them!

Brandon Remler has just been notified that on Friday Fuji will lower the price of the X PRo 1 from the current $1699 down to $1399. As you know in US we have daily new deals on cameras and lenses. There are also some Fuji deals. Just check out the pages at Amazon (camera&lenses) on Amazon (all stuff) on Adorama (Click here) on BHphoto (Click here) and on BestBuy (Click here).
TheCameraStoreTV compared this two brand new cameras, the Fuji X-E1 and the Sony NEX-6.
The X-E1 is a really tough rival for the NEX-6. In fact the X-E1 has a better dynamic range, better low light performance, better sharpness and lenses. The EVF of the X-E1 lagging behind when you move it around, but once you focus the camera, the EVF works great. On the other hand the NEX-6 makes better videos, better and flippable screen, faster focus, cheaper…
Who’s the winner? Just look at the video, and tell me in the comments if you agree with the CameraStore verdict or who is the winner for you!
There is Spanish review on quesabesde making the same comparison, and coming to the same conclusions. Read it here (translated version)
Have a great day!
