My girlfriend’s daughter is all over the Hello Kitty version! This will get costly for us…
yes, I want to buy the Hello Kitty version 🙂
Hey, join the back of the queue… I’m the first in line 😉
I am really hoping these multiple ‘silly-leaks’ are a smoke screen for something interesting. I am rather underwhelmed by the rumoured announcements so far.
I use a XP1, XT1 and X100s for weddings but want to have 2 XP2’s. The XT1 is a great camera but I simply prefer the RF style as it’s more engaging to a subject as you aren’t hiding behind the body of the SLR style. Especially for kids at weddings and for family portraits.
Everything feels to be progressing a little slowly but I am glad to have moved entirely away from Canon now and love the small bag, 3 or 4-lens wedding kit that doesn’t break my back but provides great image quality!
even the hello kitty version didn’t stimulate your interest for the upcoming announcements? 😉
I like RF style too, tried X-T1 a few times but it just does not work for me and so well as X-E2. These all rumors about X-T1 comming upgrades – including 1/32000 electrionc shutter, better JPEG engine, opportunities given to X-T1 owners to exchange some parts of camera to put it at higher performance level, makes me jealous… but at the same time disappointed that Fujifilm forgotten – there are no rumors about X-E2 similar apgrades – about X-E2 users. Probably Fujifilm lists X-T1 on top now, but for me X-E2 is a top camera I like best and will not move to X-T1, but would like to hear same good news about comming uprades for X-E2. X-T1 and X-E2 are different style cameras but stay equal as best of these two styles, so why Fuji is not giving to X-E2 users same upgrades? Makes me really dissapointed.
Rico has already said that a firmware update for the X-E2 is coming in December. So no need to jump off the ledge.
Sounds great! Could you point me the place where he said this? Did he mention what new X-E2 fw update will include – any mention of new jpeg engine, 1/32ooo electronic shutter or faster auto focus?
It’s the second comment here: http://www.fujirumors.com/ricos-book-fujifilm-x-e2-beyond-manual-available-download-40-discount-910/
Don’t know about specific features. I’m guessing intervalometer and remote app support.
Thanks. Pity there is not more details about new features, I look forward to hear if jpeg engine will be corrected as in X-30/X-100T (and probably in X-T1 as it’s already said) and also AF performace. These are two X-E2 improvements I mainly wait for (1/3200 shutter would be also great add), hope Fuji will make it, otherwise I am going to move for Sony Nex with side view finder.
I’d imagine it’s going to be modest changes. They’ll put bigger ones into an updated X-E3.
I am sure I will not be waiting till X-E3 is on sale, probably 1 year to wait for, it’s too much now for me to struggle with AF – first on X-E1 and now on X-E2 plus X-E2 jpegs quality which I do not like as much I liked with X-E1. If it’s going to be modest changes in X-E2 and no improvements of two main factors that is image quality and af performance, than I just will not find more patience for Fujifilm.
No joking: I would buy a funny and colorful version of a camera just to ask random people on the streets to smile at me while taking portraits. 🙂
Just wear a kilt, it’s much more efficient and budget friendly )
But where to store that zoom lens?…”Is that a tele zoom there or are you happy to see me?”
The silver graphite version looks nice.
Sorry, what does “Hands-multilayer coating of state-of-the-art in the body of the X-T1” mean?
Perhaps we need to convert it from British to English. 😉
You see, when Leica assembles their T bodies, they impregnate the logo with the ashes of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s film rejects. Then, they polish it by hand – overall procedure takes almost an hour: http://vimeo.com/92073118
Fuji, on the other hand, is a Japanese brand, and their cameras weren’t used by HCB. So while the process of coating the body is still manual and state-of-the-art, they can afford to skip the step that involves film ashes and use cheaper substitutes. Zack’s beard, for example, has been used to make the black paint for a “limited edition” black X100.
…No one knows for sure what kind of pigments, poisons and technological advances went into hands-multilayer coating of state-of-the-art in the body of the X-T1, but from the sound of it, it is somehow related to Google Translate.
I want mine fur-covered and dog ears on the side. Like the Dumb and Dumber car.
There should be one with a beard for Zack Arias 🙂 could work as a wrist strap too
This so reminds of Pentax. Remember when they would drop a million different colors of the same camera
so we the owners of regular XT1 are not getting the 1/32000 electronic shutter?
The “crazy” 1/32000 shutter rumors makes more sense in connection with release of new hardware, hence I expect this to be available in the X100T and X-T1 Ltd Ed (?) only. I don’t believe this can be implemented in firmware (if that was the case, why didn’t they do it in on release date?).
I can understand Fuji releasing a silver version, no big deal and if you look at the rest of the X range, why not ? Perhaps they use the opportunity to upgrade the D-pad buttons on the back as well (the #1 complaint of X-T1 owners), but to introduce a new shutter mechanism ?!? I don’t see this fitting into their strategy/mindset. On the other hand, I think the X-T1 has been a runaway success for Fujifilm, so maybe they are trying to cash in on it ? It sure is a new situation for them.
(lots of question marks in this post, sorry…I feel like one myself when it comes to these rumors)
Actually Olympus omd em10 added electronic shutter via firmware. So it is possible
Yes that is true, but it didn’t extend the
capability beyond that of the mechanical shutter, did it? AFAIK it solved some shutter vibration issues by using an electronic first shutter and it was only available for slower shutter speeds. Maybe it IS possible though, but I assume there are some drawbacks otherwise everybody would do it
If it is true and you can send your XT1 to Fuji to install electronic shutter and 1/32000 capability for $200, I would do it in a second. I’ve been limited by 1/4000 recently at my summer vacation, and screwing around with ND filter on/off, etc, is a pain.
Agree!
