It’s a long time we are all waiting to get a proper X-PRO 1 successor. I guess the camera will be finally announced during 2015. Fujirumors is spilling out first rumors about the camera:
– APS-C sensor (TS + ASwN + AS)
– 24MP sensor (ASwN) – More than 16MP (ASwN)
– available early/first half of 2015 (NeS)
– tilt screen (AS)
– WiFi (AS)
– Non organic ASP-C X-Trans sensor (ORS)
– Price about 20% to 30% more expensive than the X-T1 (AS)
(TS= trusted source / NeS =New Source / AS = Anonymous Source / AswN = anonymous source with nick-name / SRP = source who was right in the past, but not yet trusted / ORS = other rumor sites)

The form factor of x-pro is my favourite one (and IMO the best for a mirrorless camera). The question is: will its AF be on par with the likes of em1 and gh4?
No organic sensor? That is a little surprising. I was under the impression that the organic sensor technology was what Fuji was holding up the XP-2
20-30% over xt1 price yet apsc-sensor, good luck.
Well, Samsung nx1 is at that price point and many posters, here and on DPR forum, seem willing to buy it.
Perhaps aps-c is desirable over ff, if the performance is “good enough”.
FF is fine but APS-C gets the job done just fine. If you had some experience in photography maybe you would know this.
What makes the XPro-1 or up coming XPro-2 a professional camera compared with the XT-1?
Possibly the hybrid evf and 50% more mp. If they use a6000 Sony sensor it has pdaf with many AF points, so possibly also a better/faster AF.
absolutely nothing
May I assume that the current lenses are compatible with the new camera?
will the current lenses, accessories and batteries be compatible with the xpro-2?
I also heard from one of the reps recently, that there wont be an announcement until October 2015..
no ff = irrelevant release. XT-1 is as good as it gets so why an Xpro-2 without ff?
