And yet another X-TransII camera has been discontinued by Fujifilm… and it’s Fuji’s most successful camera so far: the Fujifilm X-T1! Go to Fuji’s official Japanese site here, and you’ll read that the “production has ended“.
The only X-TransII cameras still in production at this stage, are the Fujifilm X100T, the Fujifilm X70 and the X-E2s.
RUMOR FLASH: It’s a long term rumor, but it comes from a Trusted Source (thanks for your ongoing support): Profoto will add Support for Fujifilm X series in 2017!
Fujifilm just made the Complete Fuji X Series Guide available for download here. It includes the brand new XF23mmF2 WR and the X-A3 – LIVE BLOGGING HERE.
A source (thanks!) just send me a real life image of the Fujinon XF23mmF2 WR mounted on the Fujifilm X-T2.
And let me say this: I just love that tiny XF23mmF2 WR Lens Hood! Looks very different (and even more compact) compared to the XF35mmF2 WR Lens Hood. This with the X-Pro2 will be the perfect Street-Combo!
Both, the Fujinon XF23mmF2 WR and the Fujifilm X-A3 will be annouced on August 25. Live Blogging on FujiRumors… don’t miss it :-)
I know, Fujifilm said it in the official Press Release and all the stores also say the same: the Fujifilm X-T2 shipping will start on the 8th of September (that’s the “shipping embargo” date).
However, a trusted source would like me to share with all of you, that Fujifilm decided to start shipping the Fujifilm X-T2 already in late August.
Of course, I never doubt what my trusted sources tell me. In fact, it already happened in the past, that they shared information with us, that contraddicted everything that Fujifilm has said, announced and even shown to the world… and yet our sources where right ;) .
Now, since this trusted source contacts me anonymously via rumor box (using a nick name) I’d like to ask it, if this is valid for all the world, or just for some countries.
KEEP IN MIND: shipping might start late August, but it will take longer until the X-T2 is marked by stores as “in stock“.
Why is the X-T2 shipping earlier?
But why is the X-T2 shipping earlier than originally announced by Fujifilm?
I don’t know it, but maybe the Firmware is now finalized. Hence, Fujifilm can now upload it on all the X-T2’s, put that beauty in a fancy box and send it straight to X-shooters all over the globe!
Or maybe the Fujifilm X-T2 pre-orders were lower than Fujifilm expected, so that the company can start shipping the X-T2 earlier than expected.
But that’s just all speculation. What matters is that, those, who pre-ordered very early, might get their X-T2 already within the end of August…. if no last minute bug is found ;)

Camera Bag manufacturer Lowepro strongly believes in the long term Fujinon 8mm rumor… they even listed it on their website, coupled with the X-Pro2. See their “bagfinder feature” (X-series cameras are listed under “DSRLs”.
