No IBIS for the Fujifilm X-Pro2… and why CaNikon say it’s better so, but… (OIS Vs. IBIS) – Trusted Source

THE RUMOR

According to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will not feature IBIS. For some this will be a bummer, for others not.

So let’s talk about it.

OIS Vs. IBIS

Canon & Nikon say that OIS is more effective than IBIS and delivers better images for several reasons.

1) Each lens is optimally tuned to achieve reliable correction.
2) OIS allows faster and more accurate AF & exposure metering, because the image comes already stabilized to the camera sensor (and advantage you’ll notice especially in low light).
3) OIS is more effective with long telephoto lenses

But also IBIS has some strong PROs

  1. if you often use slower non-stabilized lenses, IBIS is indeed a very useful feature. I’m thinking especially at old glass users, like the X-shooters from the “Old lenses for dummies” thread. They would suddenly have all their lenses stabilized.
  2. You pay for IBIS just one time, while you have to pay the OIS for each lens you get

Some say that IBIS also adds size and weight to the camera body… but well, OIS adds this size and weight to the lens.

These are just some Pros and Cons. A more in-depth comparison can be read at photographylife.

Oh…. and always keep in mind: both, OIS and IBIS, will only compensate the shakiness of your hands and NOT for the movements of your subject. For the latter, in bad light, you simply need fast lenses, and luckily Fuji has many nice ones to offer.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Over these years Fuji has built up a terrific OIS system (see this Canon Vs. Fuji OIS Video), arguably the best one you can get on the market. And if I had to choose between OIS and IBIS, I’d go for OIS. But, as always, there are several aspects to consider, and everybody will have a different answer according to the different needs. There is, as so often, no right or wrong answer.

That said… it seems that the market likes/needs cameras with the label “IBIS” (just like the label “weather sealing” is a strong selling point) and we all want Fuji to sell more cameras, right? So would it be time for Fuji to put that feature into their future X-cameras? What do you think?

On January 15th Fuji will launch the X-Pro2… without 4K video – Trusted Japanese Source

photo 4k_zpsq0p6euvt.jpg

4K or no 4K? That is the question!

As you might remember, Fujifilm itself (via Sales Manager Makoto Oishi) said back in March here, that current X-TransII cameras cannot deliver 4K video, because “the sensor itself should have much faster reading speed”, but that 4K is definitely something they are working on for future models with new sensor and faster reading speed.

And Fuji indeed worked and is working on it. But, unlike rumored earlier, the 4K technology is apparently not yet ready for the X-Pro2.

In fact, the Top Trusted Japanese source told me that the X-Pro2 will not feature 4K video at its launch, on January 15.

Ok, after reading this rumor I feel…. say it in the comments.

Fujifilm X-Pro2: Joystick + Exposure Compensation Dial with “C” function – Trusted Source

After the leak by a source, who was right in the past, that the Fujifilm X-Pro2 would have a Pentax Spotmatic alike combined ISO/Shutter dial, I immediately contacted some trusted sources to get it confirmed (or not).

aaand…. the first feedback just landed in my Inbox :-)

A Trusted source confirms the elegant Pentax Spotmatic ISO/Shutter dial solution but also said that there will be more nice changes to what belongs the Fujifilm X-Pro2 ergonomics.

According to this source, the Fujfilm X-Pro2 will also have a Joystick for quick AF point selection, like you can find it on many DSLR’s as the Canon 5D MK III.

And more: there will be an nice change also on the Exposure Compensation Dial. While the dial will still go from -3 up to +3, Fuji added the letter “C” on it, which will allow you to adjust the exposure from -5 to +5.

I start to fall in love… and you?

Fujifilm X-Pro2 :: ISO Dial, Yes or No? Here is the answer… and it could be a Pretty Cool Solution :-) :: SRP

photo ISO_zpsdezfzaxx.jpg

Will this be the ISO dial solution of the X-Pro2?

One of the big questions regarding the X-Pro2 is: will it have an ISO dial? Looking at the FR-Poll, it’s clear that most FR-readers would like one.

Well, it seems that Fuji listened one more time to our preferences (did you know they read us?), and will put an ISO dial on the X-Pro2… at least according to a source, who was right in the past.

But where will Fuji place it?

I asked the source, if Fuji chose the design solution of the Leica M6, with an angled dial. But it doesn’t seem so. The source said, the solution should look more like the one used for the Pentax Spotmatic camera.

If this is correct, this means there could be a little window on the Shutter dial, where you can see (and adjust) the ISO value. You can see it here… and I have to say that, if true, I actually much prefer it over the angled Leica M6 dial.

I tell you, it’s really hard to get on X-Pro2 rumors. But I’ll do my best, fire off some emails to trusted sources and see if they can confirm the shutter/ISO dial. In the meantime, take the grain of salt.

X-Pro2: Magnum Photos confirms 15th of January Announcement :: 1/250 flash sync speed + more specs leaking (AS)

photo PRO2 BELIEVE_zps2ojk1kzq.jpg

First off: take the grain of salt.

Here is a list of specs send to me by an anonmyous source (thanks). The specs in green are those already rumored previously here on FR & confirmed by this source, while the specs in red are new.

  • 24MP
  • dual SD
  • more than 200 AF points (2/3 are PDAF)
  • Hybrid Viewfinder as X100T
  • 1/8000 shutter speed
  • 1/250 flash sync speed
  • no tilt LCD
  • ISO200-12800

The announcement:

The upcoming X-Pro2 is very likely the real reason behind the huge rebates on basically All X-gear. The savings go up to $900 — LIST OF SAVINGS HERE… and we now have one more confirmation, that the X-Pro2 is about to come.

After debunking fake rumors (not shared here on FR), that the X-Pro2 will be announced at CES, our sources said back in October here, that the X-Pro2 will be announced on January 15. This date (Janaury 15) has now been confirmed, in public, by Magnum Photos. After leaking two X-Pro2 images, Magnum justifies the removal of the photographs as follows:

“Embargo till Jan. 15 2016 due to contract with the camera manufacturer“.

See the First Images taken with Fujifilm X-Pro2, documenting The Day After the Terror Attacks in Paris!

Bildschirmfoto 2015-11-15 um 06.52.35

I’ve started to write this blog post over and over again. But I don’t know, how to put together and exciting news like the first leaked images taken with an X-Pro2 along with the a terrible massacre of Paris.

I feel shocked, as all of you out there. When horribly things like these happen, I’m used to close myself in silence and think to the victims, their families and their friends. For me, it’s difficult to talk about it with people close to me…. imagine how hard it is to write something on Fujirumors.

But I also know that many of you guys out there are PRO photographers. And I know that your aim is to photograph life as it is, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the dreadful. Some of you might even risk their own life to get close to the truth and capture it with their camera.

Sometimes a photographer just has to be right there, where history is happening. And in these days, history is writing one of its terrible chapters in Paris. And it’s my job to tell you that there is somebody with a Fujifilm X-Pro2 documenting it.

The 2 images have been shared in public here at magnumphotos. The EXIF data can be seen here. It really seems to be an X-Pro2 with 18mm lens. These images are part of a magnumphoto section, dedicated to the terrorists attacks in France. You can see all the pictures here.

if you have an account at magnumphotos, you can pruchase & donwload the high-res samples. And that’s what a FR reader did. The FR reader says (thanks):

  • The mangum images of paris are 6000×4000. If they really are from a xpro-2, that would make 24MP certain. The time in the exif is 21:23:45 however. That is clearly wrong, as at that time in november it’s pitch black in Paris [21:23 in Toyko is 13:23 in Paris].

I won’t comment the images. All I can say today is, be strong, my French friends.

thanks to the anonymous FR-reader, who passed me the links to the images and the EXIF data

Fuji X-Pro2: No Tilt Screen (trusted Japanese source) + Updated X-Pro2 Vs. X-T2 Flagship Battle Poll!

photo no tilt screen_zpsbgeky7bw.jpg

According to what the top trusted Japanese source told me, the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will NOT feature a tilt screen.

From the comments shared on FujiRumors in the past, I know that some will applaud this decision, others won’t. I remember this older Poll, launched when the X-T1 still had to be announced, where 32% of the FujiRumors readers wanted an X-T1 without tilt-screen.

So here are two polls:

  1. The first is about how important the tilt screen in the X-Pro2 is for you.
  2. The second one is an updated flagship battle Poll X-T2 Vs. X-Pro2, considering this new rumor. Sensor, AF-performance and Firmware overall would remain the same between X-Pro2 and X-T2. Main differences: the X-T2 won’t have an OVF, be cheaper, have a better grip etc, while the X-Pro2 will have the hybrid viewfinder, no tilt screen, rangefinder design etc.
