Unlike the other X interchangeable cameras the soon to be announced X-M1 will also come in a third color version…Brown! And according to Digicaminfo the camera will ship in Japanese stores in late July only. It means you likely can’t get it in time for your summer vacation 🙁
There is also some new info about the two new lens designs: The 16-50mm zoom has a 12 lens in 10 groups design, 3 of them are aspherical lenses. The new 27mm pancake length is 23mm and weights 78g.
Reminder: Official announcement on June 25!

Somehow, it reminds me of hassy’s lunar!
Where have I seen a brown camera, recently? Oh, wait, here it is:

But of course you’ll say this is dark brown, while fuji is light brown 🙂
Now I wonder how long it will take before someone says the NX300 is a copy of 5 Fuji 🙂
of “the” Fuji, not 5, sorry, hard to reply from a phone. I agree, the Samsung is a nicer dark brown, I still sort of like the Fuji though.
I like it, too, but I won’t buy into another system 🙂 more than happy with the nx300, for now!

When they come up with a Paul Smith edition, they may have my attention. A doomed system line. I like their TVs though. 🙂
Fuji has had colored leatherette on cameras long before Samsung NX300. (e.g. XF1)
I cant wait for this one with the tilt screen, hopefully high res!!!
I will be selling all my Olympus stuff now!!!
The silver lens is a sensation! Will all the other lenses be available in silver as well? Brown-silver body with a black lens is not working from an aesthetical point …
@Admin It leaks what? 😉
Will there be an external EVF for this cam?
Does not like like it. It is just a cosmetic dress. May be Fuji will make a special “all black edition” for a premium, later.
There will not be any evf for this camera as there is no port under hotshoe. If you want EVF just get X-E1.
