Perhaps fuji have an excess of x-trans sensors they are trying to get rid of before the long over due update so they are packaging them in these small, cheap looking, retro bodies.
Admin what about Nikon buy Samsung NX tech.. Shtttt not a single word about it at CES.. thats newer gona happen. It was a good april1 joke!
Admin…
Your big exclusive Samikon rumor …that was the talk of the rumor world, and generated tons of interest in your site has come and gone.
We have still heard no comment from you on the subject.
You owe your readers a posting of some sort.
It is a mistake to ignore it and hope we will forget.
We all know that you are reading the comments we post here.
Please post a response and accept responsibility for your rumor.
We await hearing your response on this issue.
Rumor. Admin bet on a rumor and looks like he was wrong and lost. Maybe the credibility of this site took a hit; for me it’s all just pure entertainment–especially reading Samsung fanbois making best camera claims. In any event IT DOES NOT MATTER, so stop whining.
BTW, the other rumor site has been criticizing and making personal attacks on other rumor sites–he couldn’t report on the Leica Q because he was under NDA but made ad homonym attacks against another site for reporting accurate leaks.
If you’ve lost “faith” in Admin’s rumor site, move on. Admin owes you nothing, you paid nothing.
Why would anything about that be said at ces? Ces isn’t corporate disclosure day.
Admin told us that there would be some big news about this at the CES. it’s his responsability now.
Maybe you all should take a look at the disclaimer on the right… Yes guys, it’s a rumours website…
Yep, it’s no big deal if he’s wrong. Rumors can be false sometimes.
But when you claim that you got probably the “biggest news in the camera industry for several years” (or something like that) and that you’re sure at 99% about it, if it happens to be at least partially not true or if one of your statements (big news at CES about that) is wrong, you better admit it publicly, the same way you did your sensational announcement.
Yep. 99 %. You said it.
This time he’s hit the 1 %.
Will this really change your life forever ?
Nope, but without any news about it, it can be change the way I consider this website for a long time, and I guess that I’m not the only one. Let’s be serious, it’s not about changing the life of anyone, it’s about at least doing a follow up of the “biggest news of the past years in photography”.
Again : it’s a rumour site, not the official announcement website for photography industry. If you want only news that are 100 % certified, don’t read this website. Or you should learn being more critical about what you read and see, here, on the TV news, in the newspapers, and so on…
But dear “Name” I do exactly what I want. And who said that I’m never critical about what I read? Are you with me when I read newspapers? I think that the admin should know that his readers are expecting a follow up about that and I say it. Period.
it’s a rumor site. It’s called “Mirrorless Rumors” not “Mirrorless News” or “Mirrorless Facts”.
If you are looking for facts, don’t go checking on a RUMORS website. What part of rumor don’t you understand?
Admin owes you NOTHING. You paid nothing. NOTHING.
Hehe, all right all right, calm down, take a breath and unlock caps lock. I just think that it’s to easy to tease everyone, then call its rumor “the most important thing on the year or maybe more” and stay quiet after the event where he claimed that there would be an announcement. But he’s doing what he wants, his website, not mine. It’s totally understandable that he has been fooled by a fake source, or that his source itself was sincere but wrong, or if something was cancelled or delayed. It happens. But he could say it, otherwise I couldn’t consider this website as trustworthy anymore. I don’t ask for exact facts, it’s not my point at all.
To be fair. The admin of this site said he is 100% sure. Not just 99. Also not “very very”. He said 100%.
A GR with better external controls…
No, not better just based on a different philosophy. some prefer the dials with the A position , some prefer a front and a back wheel. ( I prefer the latter). If this is a matter of personal taste , it remains to be seen if this Fuji will have some of the great features of the GR (snapshot function, ND filter, direct AF lock button..)
Looks to big to be a GR replacement.
Shame on.Rich thoigh, for not updating the GR properly. A newer backlit sensor from Sony should be easy.
Seriously? What is it with these camera manufacturers? The X30 has an integrated EVF (but small sensor) and now they make an APS-C size camera which looks great but the EVF is optional? Another “snap-on” item which can be lost. Everyone keeps going in circles. Add this, remove that, year after year.
well said
price! you are referring to the x100 series (OVF/EVF included), this is meant to be a smaller cheaper option, a secondary camera.
And what is it with people who always whine about EVFs? You can’t ever accept that a camera without an EVF can actually be good and desirable.
@Quadrupel, the issue is about usability for certain users and operating conditions, and not about the image quality. I know there are LARGER cameras with EVF’s, but it would be great to have a much smaller camera with EVF that uses a large sensor.
Consider a person who travels to sunny destinations (i.e. Mexico or Caribbean) and who has farsightedness and is not wearing corrective lenses because they are only really needed for reading and computer work?
In this scenario, when using a camera equipped only with an LCD, you have to look at a “washed out / sun-drenched” screen and hold the camera 14” away from you in order for your eyes to focus on the screen (if you can even see it in the brightness of the sun). Difficult to compose the shot and check focus point.
An EVF rectifies this problem, and also, this camera doesn’t seem to have any form of stabilization. Holding the camera up to your eye also provides some stability in lower light, lower shutter speed scenarios.
the loss of an evf is a profound misstep by fuji …. this could have been interesting despite the aging overused sensor ….fuji should have approached samsung a long time ago and struck a cross tech sharing sensor deal ….instead fuji languishes with nonsense designs like this and samsungs multi billion dollar camera efforts slide into the toilet ….when will corporations learn they are their own worst enemies?
this is written by the owner of an x 10 x 20 x30 xe1 xe2 x100 black x100 s …..so i care where fuji f u $%$ks up
also there will be no evf external sugar cube in my opinion… it will be optical….no electrical contacts that i see
I’m a little confused on peoples displeasure with this, if the price is right (sub 800$) then this would be a killer secondary, carry all camera.
Admin,
What happened to your exclusive rumor about the Samsung-Nikon deal, that you completely certain is true? And what happened to the big Samsung CES announcement you told us?
I am sure something is happening. Let us have a little bit of update, please.
Oh no. Wrong optics again. Why 28mm (eq.)? GR is also 28mm. And no WR. Blah. Should be something between 35..40mm + WR.
I agree, I would be more interested if it had a lens more similar to the canon 22mm f2 (size: a bit bigger than this won’t be a disaster, speed: slower than f2 is not really exiting, fov: 35mm – 40mm equivalent is just so extremely pleasant and useful).
26mm f1.8? Next time?
I agree as well.
looks really, really nice… it misses only a nice zoom lens
