Firmware rumors are apparently very tricky not only for Fujirumors (Fuji can postpone the launch in any moment, if the FW is not bug-free), but they are tricky also for Fujifilm itself.
As you know, on December 11 here, Fujifilm USA has officially shared on their website the details of X-T1 FW4.20. They also wrote that it will be available for download on December 17… and I guess Fujfilm USA can be considered an Ultra Top Trusted Source.
And probably the Firmware really was originally planed for December 17, but according to FR sources, at this stage, Fuji has no plans to release the X-T1 Firmware on December 17.
This could explain, why the Firmware Announcement has been taken off shortly after it went online… but luckily there is google cache, which stored the information from the Fujifilm USA page, so we can still read the entire official announcement.
On December 17 we will get the final answer. But don’t worry: the Video Button will become a FN-button… and all the other goodies 🙂
IT… WORKS… AGAIN!: There was a little plug-in conflict, now sorted out, and finally you can again proceed to checkout when you buy your Fair Trade Fuji X-shirt. As you know, 100% of the Profits go into Free Education for Cambodian Kids. You can get it for $14,99 (shipping included). Thanks for your support 🙂

Could they even postpone it to after the release of XPRo2 – for marketing reasons? Would that make sense?
Hard to justify. X-T1 is a different ballgame. Rangefinder enthousiast will get the XPro2, others will wait for the X-T2.. like me 🙂
still no xe2 firmware.
kaizen already arranged for xe2 in january
Not a problem for me, unless they are going to decide to postpone the x-pro2. 🙁
i hope not. But why would they do that?
They need a Kaizen process to improve their Kaizen process it would seem..
Better a good job than a hasty job. Not waiting for a Lightroom 6.2-like debacle.
Maybe they changed the target date because they don’t want to compete for attention with the release of the new star wars movie 😀
Or possibly came up with some show stopping bug that they want to squash before releasing it to the public.
Yup that’s far more likely. But not as jokey as my post!
If only Empire followed the same logic… Damn that thermal exhaust port!
I don´t need any updates. The camera is good as it is. Since i don´t need it, nobody needs it too. It´s not the camera that make the image, it´s the photographer ( or whatever cliche you prefer) they should stop the whole Kaisen thing. So that the camera will be for pure photograhers 😉
What a silly thing to say. I take it you use film and process your own then Mr. Pure photographer?
Update 4.20. Yummm!
