This could upset the brand new X-T1 owners but Fuji is really already going to offer a new hardware updated X-T1P camera soon!
Fujirumors reports that among the hardware changes there will be a new 4K viewfinder! And now, this doesn’t mean the X-T1P will have 4K recording capability. The new X-T1P will have the same “sub-par” video performance.
The camera will be officially unveiled the beginning of July. And I am wondering why Fuji hurried that much to bring an updated X-T1…

Hmmm, there are not even 2k evf on the market (actually the highest res is now 1024*768, which is 1k if you want).
Perhaps they mean 4mp. Considering that they count the mp of evf multiplicated by 3 (1024*768*3=2.36mp) they could reach 4mp with 1440×960 resolution, which nevertheless would be a very nice upgrade (especially considering that x-t1 has already the best evf on the market!!!).
It’s 1,280 x 1,024 x 3 (R,G,B) = 4 million dots.
1280×1024 is a 5:4 res. Very bad considering that the sensor is 3:2.
1440×960 would be exactly 3:2.
X-T1’s viewfinder is 1,024 x 768 = 2,36 million dots, hence a 4:3 res.
You need space on top and bottom of the image to display additional information in the viewfinder:

I know. But my point is that by moving from 1024 to 1280, you’re not gaining as much usable area as the bump in res would suggest. The advantage is about 20% more pixels on each side. Good, but not as much as passing from 800 to 1024.
“sub-par” video
Are you kidding admin? Since when did 4k become the standard? Everyone still uses1080p at max and DVDs still exist.
It’s not sub par because it isn’t 4K. it sub par because even at 1080p it sucks compared to other camera performances. And that’s really something told by EVERY reviewer out there. Not just by me…
Awesome, hope they’re adding a capacitive display. 🙂
I would hope that they would use a more powerful processor to speed overall performance, since it’s still a bit laggy compared to other brands. Surely, they’ll want to impress people when they replace the X-Pro1, also.
Actually the x-t1 is much much faster when compared to my samsung nx300.
That’s a bit sad, but they are at very different levels.
If Samsung wasn’t so worried about putting in their latest, most expensive display technology, they’d be able to provide better performance.
What do you mean by different level? If you refer to price, I agree, but the more expensive nx30 is as fast as nx300, hence again slower than x-t1.
And what do you mean by putting in latest display tech?
