Confirmed: Upcoming EU-X Deals will Include Fuji X-Pro2 (€100 off) at least in Some Countries :: Message to Sources

eu

the current deal in Germany/Austria: Save €300 on all Fujifilm X-T1 combos. All the details at AmazonDE

_ _ _

I got one more hint, from an anonmyous source with nick name (thanks), that the upcoming EU-X deals starting tomorrow, will include a €100 price drop on the Fujifilm X-Pro2 (as well as prices drop on other cameras – like X-T1 – and lenses).

Please note that in Europe, every country can make some changes to the deals, or even do not offer them at all. I have information just about “some” countries.

At this point I’d like to send a message to sources (especially anonymous ones). First off thanks for sharing :)… and second: sometimes I receive pretty detailed information. I obviously handle everything with the greatest care and try to find what I believe the best way to share the information. But of course, the final world is up to you. So, if you share anonymously (meaning I have no possibility to know who you are and to contact you), you might also include some notes for me, about what I can share and what not. This would give me the certainty to handle everything as you desire it. If I do not get any indication, I will always share it in a way that I believe you will feel 100% comfortable with.

DOWNLOAD NOW ** Fujifilm X-Pro2 Firmware 2.00 ** Fujinon Lens Updates ** Fujifilm X-Pro1 Firmware 3.70!

fujifilm-firmware

Fujifilm just released several firmware updates

  • X-Pro2: The long-awaited X-Pro2 Firmware 2.00 is out. It brings overall 20 improvements (including a new AF-algorithm for faster and more accurate AF). And actually there are more than 20 improvements, but Fujifilm didn’t mention them… however, you’ll probably know more about the “secret improvements” on FujiRumors ;)
  • Lenses: Many Fujinon lenses got a Firmware udpate too (14mm / 16mm / 18mm / 23mmF1.4 / 27mm / 35mmF1.4 / 60mm / 10-24mm / 16-55mm / 18-55mm / 18-135mm / XC16-50mmII). As rumored, less chromatic aberration for the XF16-55mmF2.8. Check out the full lens update list here.
  • X-Pro1: And quite amazing… after all these years, even the Fujifilm X-Pro1 gets a nice little new Firmware.

See the all available firmware updates and download them at the Fuji support page here.

… and just a curiosity… any other European awake now at 3:00 AM, or it’s just me? ;)

happy download,

More Firmware Details :: FW Update for X-Pro2, X-Pro1 and Lenses (XF16-55 Less Chromatic Aberration)… Coming Very Soon!

photo KAIZEN_zps1fdb780f.png

IT’S KAIZEN TIME

A trusted source just contacted me, and told me that not only the X-Pro2, but also the X-Pro1 and many Fujinon lenses will get a Firmware update soon. Here is what the source told us:

X-Pro2 Firmware

As already leaked here, the X-Pro2 FW 2.00 will bring a new and improved autofocus algorithm (faster and more accurate AF, more AF-points and AF tracking improvements), support for EF-X500 flash, Auto Power feature changes, and Corrected AF frame function improvement.

But the same leaked press release, said that the improvements will actually be 20. So what else will come? Well, Fuji will improve Eye Detection, additional flash settings can be located on the Q menu. Regarding the tracking, you will be able to use the electronic shutter in AF-C. There will improvements in the OVF and some bugs will be fixed, too.

It sounds overall like a huge Firmware update that will bring some big and many small improvements… well done, Fuji… you’ll make lots of X-Pro2 owners very happy soon :)

X-Pro1 Firmware

Just like the X-Pro2, also the X-Pro1 will get the Corrected AF frame function improvement. I haven’t heard of other improvements.

Fujinon Lenses Firmware

With the new Firmware, the Chromatic Aberration on the XF16-55mmF2.8 will be better controlled. Many Fujinon lenses will also get better parallax correction.

FINAL NOTE

It’s rare, but it can happen (and it already happened) that a new firmware can contain minor bugs. In the past Fujifilm usually was very fast to fix them. But I’d recommend not to update, if you need the X-Pro2 for an important job/event. Use the current firmware and wait a few days after the firmware release. Fujifilm will be monitoring the situation after the FW release very closely, also by reading the feedback from X-shooters here on Fujirumors.

It might also a good thing to read again Rico’s article “Tips for updating your Firmware“

Fujifilm Will Release a Dark Grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 – Trusted Source

dark-grey-x-pro2

Graphite X-Pro2 Mock-up by FR-reader Everaldo

Dark Grey X-Pro2

According to a trusted source, Fujifilm has a dark grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 in the pipeline. In the Fuji world everything can change quickly, but for now the release is set to 2017.

I’m not sure for now, if it will have the same color of the graphite X-T1 or be even darker. For sure it won’t the the bright silver we know from the X-E2 or X-T10.

Just like the X100 black limited edition and the graphite X-T1, also the dark grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 should be more expensive than the regular black one.

Handheld Impressions from Photokina 2016 :: The Biggest Fail of the Fujifilm X-Pro2 :: RAW or JPEG? – Palle Schultz

I discovered and started following Palle Schultz’ work (and youtube channel) 4 months ago, after I saw him wearing one of my fair trade T-shirts at the Fujifilm Nordic “Behind the frame” Series… btw, we raised $3,500 for Free Education for kids in Cambodia.. ;).

Back to Palle Schultz: as an official Fuji X Photographer, he had access to the behind the scenes of the Fuji booth (and to the GFX), and he decided to document his stay at Photokina 2016 in his original video “Handheld Photokina 2016 Impressions” (filmed with X-T2). It’s a good way to close the 1 week Photokina marathon… no more interviews, no more talks… just video, music and editing by Palle himself.

I’ll share two more videos from his youtube channel below, “The biggest fail of the Fujifilm X-Pro2” and “Should you shoot RAW or JPG, with Fujifilm cameras?”
