Live Blogging FR

July 7
Fujifilm launches Worldwide Exclusive VIP Events (USAEUJAPAN)
And for the mere mortals X-shooters like you and me, who’ll never get an invitation from Fuji? You can follow the Live-Blogging-Event here on FujiRumors!

Hm.. let me see… 420 articles shared only in 2016. And 121 of these 420 were rumors. And reading the comments and emails, I have the feeling that some got quite confused in the huge News/Rumors stream on FR. So here are two things I should do

  1. Invite you to follow FR also on social medias (Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter) and subscribe to the FR-newsletter (box below), where you’ll get a weekly summary of the most important news/rumors
  2. Make a short summary for those, who are confused right now, about what we will see (or not) on July 7

To be announced July 7

What will NOT come July 7

  • I haven’t heard of a silver X-T2 to be launched along with the black X-T2. It’s a possibility, but I’d not be too optimistic about that
  • No 23mmF2 annoucement (I’m sorry to destroy many dreams out there, but you can stop hoping. Here is the announcement date)
  • XF120mm will be removed from Lens Roadmap (post here and here). So forget an XF120 ever coming.
  • No 33mmF1.0, 200mmF2, 8-16mm and 8mm in the New Roadmap (post here)
  • On request of reader emails: No, I haven’t heard of any camera remote APP update coming on July 7

That’s more or less it. Of course I’m FujiRumors, not Fujifacts, so it might be possible that there will be surprises. Or that I’m not 100% accurate with something. We will see soon.

All I know is that I did my best and squeezed all the energies out of me (and more). But it was (and still is) one of the most exciting times I’ve ever had on FujiRumors! :-)

stay tuned,

In case you didn’t had enough, our Japanese buddy digicame-info (X-T2 leakflash leak + grip leaks) continues to leak images about the X-T2. Morever, he also shared images of the EF-X500 flash and the new Vertical Grip VPB-XT2.

If you follow FR-regualry, you’ll already have seen images of the vertical grip on May 3. The images show that it takes 2 batteries. To see more images about how the new screen tilt, check out this post of early June.

Regarding the flash, I’ve shared yesterday it will come also July 7, just like the X-T2.
