Fuji X-E2s rumors

as I said a sum of local factors, exchange rate and in some countries also changes due to taxation.

 

Norway for example has put up VAT.

 

This member reports a price increase at his end at the exact date of 1st January, which won’t be working well with increasing sales to meet targets, wherever that is.

But in other countries shops haven’t changed prices. So, Amazon.de has now higher prices than any shop in the NL for the X-E2  (€599)  or the X-T10 ( €675) ... all the shops in the NL have the exact same price :), by chance at the same time  ;)  :D not a concerted effect, just pure chance.

I hope Fuji Australia is correct and that we see a TILT Screen on the X-E2s.. Fact that it isnt mentioned in the overall overview page does make it is more an error on the page.. but lets hope!

 the only physical changes I see are the  new grip,new top plate and Fn2 button now marked "Auto". no tilt screen.

still curious  if the "Made in Japan" inscription  is still present and if indeed the overall height  has slightly increased due  to the top plate cosmetic redesign .

 all-in-all,pretty underwhelming but then again, only a little over a month and a half ago, it seemed that the X-E line  would just be allowed to die off, let alone see  even this  mild refresh.

Well i believe my own eyes (watching the promo video) over a unfinished web page. ;)

For the suggested MSRP, it doesn't seem like they went for the sell more for less option.

it'll be produced in japan and  the specifications page shows no  change in  dimensions. firmware 4.0 for existing X-E2 owners scheduled for  Feb 4. implied,  tho not specifically stated, to include all the  new functions available  to X-E2S including Electronic  shutter.

Yep, it appears the differences amount to the 's' in the name and the relabelling of one button.

there's  another item of  note that I picked up on  by inspecting  the  pics at the Fujifilmusa website.- the  "Macro" and "AF" script on the  D-Pad's top and  bottom buttons are now missing

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
