What a surprise! Photographer Dominik Fusina first posted the full clear picture of the new Fuji X-W1 on facebook and today admitted he created a FAKE 🙁 The full size pic can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=741542789208619&set=a.508861135810120.130927.412285615467673&type=1&theater
UPDATE: More pictures have been posted on his website: http://photo.fusina.net/news-Exclu__des_images_du_futur_FUJI_serie_X_-77.html
Don’t know what to think about the design. Looks quite non proportional to me and it somewhat reminds me of the new Nikon DF.

Thanks for a great site but the pictures of the Fuji X-W1 look a bit of a clumsy wind-up. I hope it is as I am hoping for something better looking and better engineered than this looks.
The marker on the mode dial looks particularly dodgy!
From the latest mails I got these images show the “real” camera!
These are very clear computer 3D renderings. A lot about the design/dials makes little sense for this to be real.
You seem to forget the first real world picture…
It’s a render too… maybe the background is a photo, but the camera is definitely renderred. Just compare it yourself with Nikon Df. Fuji would never make a camera that would look like a copy of Df.
Why would they include a viewfinder selector?
I think it’s just a miscarrieed 3D model & render. I don’t think the real camera will look like this. It looks like author was trying to make a model of Nikon Df (have too much in common).

If you add the missing rubber eyecup, it could be the real thing. Nothing to do with Nikon Df IMO. That camera is a lot thicker and way less “proportional” than this.
Something just does not look “right” about this…but if this actually is the new DSLR style mirrorless …I am embarrassed for Fuji. Truly.
These are clearly computer renderings. Show me a real photo and I’ll start to believe it (the facebook post looks like a photoshop job of the camera render put on a bench). This has too many similarities to the Nikon DF for me to take it seriously. (Although Sony did set a precedent for idiodically moving the electronic viewfinder position from the corner like the NEX-7 to the bumpeded up center in the 7 and 7r)
If this is real then Nikon will sue Fuji for making a camera that looks a lot like Nikon FM series
Not just a render, a very amateur render, especially that attempt at the “real world” pic. Way too much skew in that camera versus the background (oh and it is obviously fake looking, just look at the lens, the Fuji 35/1.4 does not look like that).
So sorry, but, not gonna believe this is a meaningful rumor, I would give it a zero.
I´d like to know where you see the difference with Fuji 35 f/1.4 lens: “the Fuji 35/1.4 does not look like that”. After carefully comparing with the real thing, IMO they are identical.
Do you know what is almost identical in my opinion? This “Fuji” and Nikon Df.
I guess it is legit. Not sure what I think about it. Hard to tell if there’s a flash in the “pentaprism.” Otherwise it’s a bit pronounced.
I will say it looks a hell of a lot more retro than the Nikon.
I’m liking the design……..an affordable DF clone works for me!
If you look at the hot shoe I think we should all grin and just say what the hoaxer is expecting us to say “ha ha, that’s a good one!!”. There is no way in hell anyone would put a hot shoe on that way. It would rip up any bag you tried to put it in. That alone says hoax, and not meant to be taken seriously.
I cant hold it in any longer…
this is the ugliest camera of 2014.

Hopefully it won’t materialize.
The creater himself told its fake

@MirrorlessF Art Work, yes. Created from my own experience with mirrorless and vintage cameras, and rumors about the next FUJI.
How can you be so easily fooled to think it’s real? Even in the first pic you can tell it looks too clean and artificial to be real.
