Along Nikon (with the J3 and S1) and Samsung (with the NX300) also Fuji will announce some major new camera (but with fixed lens). The image you see on top shows the new Fuji X100s with 16 Megapixel X Trans sensor. And here on bottom you can see the new X20.
No new camera or lens from the mirrorless and intrechangeable lens X system will be announced for the CES show.

I’m a little bit skeptical there are so very little differences, especially about the X100s. Knowing Fuji I’m really sure they’d listen and recess the exposure compensation wheel, a la Fuji X10.
It may be the first render of what the X100s will look like, but I can see that it’s a Photoshopped image, just look at how the “S” has a different black around, the resolution seems different and the “S” is way too white. But it will probably look similar anyway.
Disappointing, only the x-trans sensor and software improvements, no real hardware benefits, like the Q button, etc.
Why to change from x100 when having the x-pro for picture quality in the meantime?
The EVF/OVF switch is different and there are two silver flanges that now flank the lens.
Do you actually own an X100? The “silver flanges” flanking the lens are on the X100 too – they help turning the aperture ring. And the EVF/OVF switch in the picture is exactly like the one on an actual X100 🙂
Admin, why do you repost these “rumors”? They have been posted at fujirumors but that does not make them any more belieavble. Just look at the pics and you could see that they are photoshopped pics of the X10 and X100. It would not make sense not to change the switch, Focus-dial, recess the exp. comp. etc., and dont get me started with the X20… Add to that, these pics are of low res because they would be super obvious as fakes if you saw the crappy photoshop job in full res.
I would like both you and the guy at fujirumors to start using a similar system to the SR-ratings the SonyAlphaRumors guy, Andrea is using, that would let you get away with posting these and rating them with a value of likelyhood to be true in any way. Just my two cents…
The x cameras could be better if it was made in China. Japans labor is much higher so shortcuts have to be made otherwise the prices will be too high. At the 500 price the x10 x20 wil retail for you would get alot more if they moved production to China.
If the x camera is made in china, there are more shortcut will be taken. I admit tat QA frm China is improving but Japan still have it edge in this time.
correction,” all the stuff you use, its manufactured in china”
Hey,
Fuji cams are still designed in Japan, advanced technology, high-end lenses and why not produced in China ?.
The production facilities are all Japanese but the cost of labor is Chinese whats the problem ?.
Fujistuff is Topstuff !.
Jesus,why is it so hard for ppl to understand? the company is founded in japan, they designed the products in Japan. where the parts are sourced could be anyhwere in japan and all over the damn world. where they are assembled could be anywhere in the world. nikon Canon and the rest of them all have plants in china. that means they have the proper machinery to manufacture whatever part of the camera they need, and even ship them back to japan for a guy to squirt paint and stick the grip on for all they want. I was talking about manufacturing, not designing.I was talking about labor costs. they have equipment in china and you can bet the QC is determined by a Fuji rep who also oversees production in china. People think they asssmebled fuji cameras in china with bamboo tools or something. all they do is assemmble the stuff there, fuji has full control over what they do, what passes, what is to be done. Made in china Fuji but all controlled and ok’d by Fuji’s watch and standards. Made in Japan doesnt always mean that everything is made or seembled there, just like any other goods. Every country has laws about how much of a products is has to be made in the country. For ex, you corned beef may say made in usa but the meat product may come from another country. They can put the made in usa label on because they put the labels on the cans in the usa.
I unerstand well that the Fuji X100S will be manufactured in China oposite to Fuji X100 which is made in Nippon?
