Finally we have a precise announcement hour of the new Fuji X stuff. The news will be official at 02:00 (2am) London time. The body will be priced at $699 which is just $100 below the current (discounted) X-E1 price.
Price for the body with 16-50mm kit lens will be $799.
UPDATE: There was an error submission by the source. He first wrote 2pm, but it was 2am 🙂

Well, the price of E-P5 (direct competitor with 2 dials and WiFi) will be even crazier. Fuji started as the most outrageously priced ($1400 for X-Pro1 with slow AF and no weather sealing compared to $1000 OM-D) but they seem to come to their senses. Oly’s turn.
Might seem a bit unfair to match it up against the E-P5. Olympus has a really refined product on their hands. Superior AF and 1/8000 shutter + expansion port. A flagship were it not for the OM-D. Whereas the X-M1 feels like a stripped down contender with wifi bundled in for consumer benefit. X-M1 might have a small lead in IQ but everywhere else it would fall behind.
Class leading sensor stabilization… that was the other thing I forgot to mention for the E-P5
I’m not sure I understand. For $100 less than the X-E1, they remove the viewfinder? Admitedly, it’s smaller, but overall, it sounds like a small economy to me…
No build in viewfinder. FOR ME NOT EXISTS.
Small is good. I look forward to trying one when it is available.
Please add VR in the body for the next body. It is very important. Please see my photos at:
