First we heard that the announcement of the new X-E1 has been postponed to tomorrow (September 6th) But now Fuji Korea posted the full X-E1 info!!! Don’t know if they made a mistake by publishing it too early :)

P.S.: Google translation tool isn’t working on the korean website. Any help form Korean readers is welcome!

UPDATE: Price info of the 14mm f/2.8 lens have been posted on Digidirect.com.au. And also for the 18-55mm zoom (Click here).

Our friends over at Photorumors corrected their previous claim of a September.5th announcement. The Fuji X-E1 and the X compact camera with fixed lens are going to be announced tomorrow September 6th!

The interesting thing is that the new X-E1 will use the same electronic OLED viewfinder of the Sony NEX-6 that is going to be announced next week. It’s a 2,34k dot viewfinder.  I am surprised to hear about that partnership!

More info: X-E1 weights 350g and a mic input that will serve as electronic camera trigger.

Good Morning!
This is just a short message to remind you that tomorrow Fuji will announce two new X cameras. These are the X-E1 specs:

• Same 16MP sensor as in the X-Pro1 (with max ISO of 25,600)
• 6 fps
• Light magnesium body
• Improved AF speed
• Price: bellow $1000
• To be released before Christmas
• Same video recording capabilities as the X-Pro1
• Mic input
• EVF only (not hybrid as the X-Pro1)
• Two colors: black and silver
• Pull 25 ISO to simulate Velvia in JPEG mode

Can’t wait to see it for real! Hope they have fixed soem of the AF and Sensor issues of the X-PRO 1. P.S.: There is a massive price drop on the X PRO 1 when purchased along one of the X lenses at Amazon (Click here to see the X PRO 1 dedicated deal page).

Check this out. It shows how the new XF1 (or Xg1?) compact camera will work. Smart or not?

Peter from Photorumors reports that Fuji will announce the new X-E1 and XF1 (or XP1) camera on September 5th (yes it is next week). And there is one more news. The next XF 18-55mm lens will be the first with new linear AF motor. It will help to speed up the autofocus to 0.1 seconds.

Pretty amazing if true!
