Neat
Price?
The number of possible shots increased to 700 sheets by OVF power save function
Sheets?
shots… google translator 😉
OVF Power save function increases the number of shots to 700
In case you’re curious, it’s because 枚 is a Japanese counter for flat objects. It’s often translated as sheets, but can be anything like photographs, stamps, pieces of paper etc…
So much for 24MP, new lens, tilt LCD, blazing AF etc. If there’s one thing we learned with the X100 series, it’s that evolution comes slow.
maybe back in February, when the 24MP rumor has been shared, it was planed this way. Certainly, back in 2013, it was even considered to be launched with a Full Frame sensor.
We will soon see if Fuji did right or wrong to keep the 16mp and same lens. For now we have lots of sofware improvements, an electronic shutter and an OVF that should pretty much kick ass.
I must add that I kind of like this incremental attitude towards changes. If I still had my first gen X100 I’d probably not care about upgrading.
still has that unsightly built-in flash and lousy af mode switch, but otherwise looks ok.
I like that silver… Looks better that the greyish silver of the x100 and x100s.
It’s the same as before…
Same processer and same sensor as the X100s. Should it not be possible to gain more AF speed, accuracy and feature set also with the X100s through firmware update? I am not absolutely convinced of the X100t. Don’t care about the LCD and WiFi. Ok, improved VF would be nice but nothing I really need.
The only thing that bothers me is the Bigger-than ever handgrip… I think it looks better without it.
I agree, looks like the X100T will be getting a much more substantial grip akin to the one on the X-T1. I love the X100S-style grip, bummer Fuji decided to change it (same goes for the X30 btw).
I REALLY hope it’s not as big though! That wouldn’t go very well with the otherwise sleek design. Fingers crossed it’s not as bad as it looks.
I don’t think it’s much bigger. It just goes right to the top plate, the 100s had a little gab. Judging from what i see, it may be a bit deeper, but don’t think it’s more than 1-2 millimeters…
Finger crossed that it’s not as bad as it looks… I prefer something flat, I don’t mind if it looks a bit more like the beautifully crafted Contax T3; even Fuji’s own Hasselblad XPAN looks more handsome than this ergonomic grip…
I hope it’s not too much larger as well. I’m not sure from these photos how much bigger it is. Comparing to the X-T1 it looks smaller to my eye, but it’s hard to tell. That said the X-T1 grip is much better in my hands than the mammoth ones most manufacturers use.
I going yo put my neck out and call those images fake. The control that switches EVF/OVF is the same as the x100 rather than the x100s. I doubt they would take a backward step on that
If you look on the details as the red painted streak, you’ll see that it is thinner as on the X100, also a few other subtle changes in the body design, the grip hump looks different, also the design around the OVF front glass looks “streamlined”. No prove that the images are not fake, but there are clearly differences to the X100/S.
Sorry about the spelling errors in that post – damn auto correct!
Not seeing the big jump here form X100s if these are the specs. And EXmorII processor is a bit disappointing. I was expecting ExmorIII by now. I don’t mind the 16 MP though.
Superb camera for those adopting the Fuji X System. I suspect that many X shooters will stick with what they have, maybe invest in more lenses and wait for the new sensor for their next upgrade.
1/3 steps on the focus ring would be a nice addition, so you want have to use the fiddly rocker switch on the back of the camera for this function.
aperture ring, it should say. 🙂
i just hope it’s still as solid as on X100 where XF lenses have a bit fiddly aperture rings in comparison with X100
But I wanted a physical ISO-dial. =(
Folks, digital camera technology has matured. Camera manufacturers are now adopting the same approach automotive industry has been following for two or three decades – incremental upgrades, each generation similar to the previous one, minor tweaks here or there. That’s all to be expected now and in the future.
Market is well defined and saturated, customers are educated, players well known. Making or breaking is now about protecting R&D investments and existing market share, not about embracing unnecessary risks in order to impress us by making revolutionary products in order to wipe out the other guy from the market.
Unlike 10 or 15 years ago, nowadays one could walk in into a camera store and blindfolded randomly pick a DSLR, mirrorles system camera, or large(r) sensor advanced compact, and walk out of the store with a piece of equipment that would likely have more features and produce better quality images than any 35mm film camera that has ever existed! And if we spend a bit of effort to choose the right one for us, our camera of choice will certainly not be the weakest link, but more likely someone behind the camera.
For those looking for continuous thrill and revolutionary jumps forward, I suggest following biotechnology, nanotechnology, graphene battery development, fusion reactors research, electric cars development or similar. Times of “wow!” factor with digital cameras seem to be over. We should stop comparing numbers and start using already excellent technology to make superb images.
Agree
Mirrorless unfortunately still has quite a bit of catching up to do with regards to DSLRs. We have come a long way, but it is by no means like with DSLRs where these days you only really benefit from newer models if you regularly shoot things with more extreme requirements (requiring more resolution or lowlight sensitivity). There is still a lot of room for innovation in the mirrorless space.
Also, with the major players Nikon and Canon not yet having entered the mirrorless market (I think we can all agree that Nikon 1, EOS M and Coolpix A don’t really count), the other companies would do well to make sure to take advantage of their head start and have a few years of innovation in the bag and very mature and solid products with unique and innovative features and patents (like Fuji’s hybrid viewfinder, 1/3 stop aperture rings, dual focusing screens on the X-T1,film simulation, focus on physical dials – which Nikon tried to copy on the Df even though their DSLRs already had great ergonomics, X-Trans for those who like it) before the two majors come with their line of mirrorless cameras that can AF with all of their existing lenses.
You are completely correct that in most cases the limiting factor is the person behind the camera, but as soon as you use cameras professionally, you just have to keep those moments where it is the other way around to a minimum as much as possible.
and then you get products like:
– Pentax 645Z – revolution in digital medium format
– Sony A7 – the smallest full frame mirror less camera
– upcoming Samsung NX1 (i would never get anything from Samsung though) – 28mp APS-C camera with second generation PDAF
Hm, i see no reason to upgrade from my beloved X100s! 😉
I’m surprised they didn’t used the same flat modern design like the X30. I for one like the new flat modern design look. This is of course subjective.
Anything about X100T connectivity? Do it accept external microphone?
Hooray! The OVF-EVF switch in form of the middle finge is back. Same as on the X100. And now they try to make the X100t look like the X10/x20 models. I hope they don’t change anything on the X-Pro2. Please, no. The X-Pro1 look is perfect as it is.
Is there any mention of weather sealing? That would be a big one for me.
One question- if it has the electronic shutter with 1/32,000 ability, why is there still need for the built in ND filter? It seems like they would not include both.
You can’t shoot wide open with longer exposure time in bright light without an ND. Sometimes you want the combination of shallow depth of field and blurred motion, but it’s still not going to be as useful. Another use might be in combination with Flash if that isn’t compatible with electronic shutter.
Also, purely electronic shutter lead to lower image quality sometimes (I think the Nikon D4 has a purely electronic shutter mode for use in LiveView, so googling that might get you more technical details), which is why most professional cameras still include a mechanical shutter. The consequence might be that even on the X100T it is preferable to use the mechanical shutter if you can avoid it and don’t need crazy short shutter speeds because you get slightly better image quality.
They should have called this the x100w, as in “wifi”. Not a very impressive upgrade. I am sure the stuttering EVF will be present here, as it was in all the other models, especially that have not upgraded the processor.
I was hoping for at least one new “surprise”, but there is nothing so far.
A question; is the f2.1 aperture different than the x100s?
It’s an f2 lens. Same as x100s (and see text on lens ring). The sentence should read “1/3 steps”.
The only thing of interest to me is the interval shooting. Here is hoping that Kaizen will allow that feature to come to my x100s
Wait so the lens is the same or no?
My question as well. I don’t remember the x100, or the “s” having a lens f2.1
I wouldn’t be surprised if they lens has been slightly redesigned.
rad it again , it reads that the lens is a 23mm f2 with 1/3 stops
I don’t understand the whole electronic shutter thing…does that mean the leaf shutter of the X100S isn’t there?
if so…how does this affect it?
Is the flash sync speed vs aperture limitation now gone? (remember that the camera had an f/2 at 1/1000 limitation)
I guess I’m not sure I understand the implications or even what an electronic shutter IS….
The leaf shutter is there, it just means that now you have that electronic option – just like Panasonic has been offering for quite some time and Sony has offered recently. Electronic shutter doesn’t have the physical limitation so it can be much faster and it’s completely silent. As most sensors use rolling shutter, until they all use global shutter, you can’t rely solely on electronic shutter.
Is there any reason why you wouldn’t use the electronic shutter on the X100T?
Well, as I said, it uses rolling shutter and not global shutter, so it has the same issues as when you are shooting video. Rolling shutter reads the pixels in a sequence, while the global shutter reads all pixels at once, therefore, for fast motion, fast pans, etc. unless you have global shutter you will get the “jello effect”, even more for lower speeds of shutter. So, in those situations, unless you are purposedly trying to do that, it won’t look good and a normal shutter is necessary.
Well, they tweaked the sensor to get 51200 ISO, if it’s the same sensor, it won’t actually be much better for the rest of the sensitivity.
This is most probably only available in jpg.
What will be much more interesting is if they can offer a clean 12800, or 25600, in RAW.
No, ISO 12800 won’t be clean. Nor will 25600.
I don’t think RAW will go that high, but I would like to see if this brings any kind of improvement for ISO 6400, for instance.
Any Rumors on the new XPRO body?
High ISO won’t be clean but it can be beautiful, not nasty, that’s the difference. Tryin’ to make a clean file at such high sensitivity will turn it out more “digital” and plasticy.
Fix the damn battery issue, faster focus, and ability to save user setting and it will be damn
And yes, 1/8000s will be good
Will it launch in black?
Same lens is a huge disappointment, especially after using the Sony RX1 with its amazing lens. Seems like minor upgrades for the T. Guess we will have to wait another year or two for a major upgrade.
The rumour doesn’t say the same lens, it merely mentions similar spec. I don’t mind the softness of the lens wide open and up-close, but I do mind its poor handling, lack of helicoids, reliance on full-stops, and tendency to jump when stopped/re-focused when shooting up close.
Why doesn’t it have face detection?
Please Please Please PAL video and not this 30P crap.
I would hate to be the person at Fuji (or any company) deciding when to release the next version of anything and what updates that version should have.
Bring it out too soon and the inevitable “guy who just bought the last one and is one day past the day he can return it…” is raging mad.
Don’t add everything and the kitchen sink and you get the “guy who was only going to buy it if “X” had been added” to complain he won’t buy it now (as if he ever would).
Add too much and you get the “the only reason I like it is because it didn’t have X” guy to moan and groan.
Wait too long and all you hear is “X is falling behind”.

Please ad new category (ALS = Aliens)!
“Still unconfirmed by digicame-info, the optical viewfinder with real-time parallax.”
How about an explanation wrt wft this “real-time parallax” is supposed to be, and we can worry about confirmation later..?
That has been explained several times already. But frankly, if you can’t piece it together yourself, then it’s probably not relevant for you anyway.
Oh please, take that attitude somewhere else.
It is not clear from anywhere (and certainly not from FR admin himself) what it is supposed to mean.
The possibilities and speculation span over the range of tweaked framelines (yawn) to a faux patch-matching rangefinder feature (and beyond..)
Is the softness at f2 on close subject fixed?
