"Bit of a communication bug: I�ve taken down the 56mm first look. Huge apologies. FYI it IS amazing. More soon. @fujiguys @Fujifilm_UK"

FUJIWANKFEST 2014 CONTINUES :pcgaming:

Fujirumors saying the new body will probably be called the X-T1, that we will still see an announcement this January, plus general rumor roundup and reliability update.

The blog also links to this guy's blog from CES which says there was no discussion of water-sealed lenses. I still expect to see a weather sealed lens announced along with the X-T1?? otherwise what's the loving point?

Bought a fake leather case for Fuji X-E1 that functions as a half case and grip for $12. In combination with a thumbs up grip the camera feels really comfortable horizontally or vertically. You do have to remove the case to access the battery and memory card, but it was $12 and it only takes about 5 seconds to remove.

When it arrived the packaging was comically pathetic. A yellow sheet of plastic with a long single strip of mailing tape that encircled it randomly.

So Fuji is basically building a prosumer APSC body aiming squarely at the D300s/7D market where both Nikon and Canon are leaving and replacing with cheap FF bodies right now. I get the sense that Fuji is not getting a better APSC sensor from Sony that's why they are loading up features on a new body but try not to call it a XPro-2. They probably will get a new APSC sensor for the XPro2 after new Nex-5 (new A7000 series) get a new sensor.

The XE-2 should have been called XE-1s.

Why do you say Fuji is dependent on Sony for a new design? I was under the impression that the X-trans is an in-house Fuji design, and manufactured by Toshiba.

I get the impression they are made by Sony, (NEX5n sensor with different color filter). Anyway it doesn't matter. They are not getting a new sensor now. If they have they would have put it in the new body.

edit: and I want to say upgrading sensor IMO is not what people are asking for, I would like to see a pro flash system upgrade before the sensor upgrade.

Your first error has already been addressed, but people buy the x cameras for their looks, size and image quality and character. The last thing they need is a GN100 "pro flash system"
