Fuji X for 2016

[Lynxo]

Hi,

 

will there be new cameras for 2016 other than the x2pro?

 

do you think Fuji will reserve the acros film simulations only for the x2pro?

 

I was planning on the x-t10 but curious if there could be a newer model to the x-t10 with Acros

or that could be years down the road?

 

Their site mentions only new processor and new 24M sensor will work for Acros.

 

They finally have B&W film simulations but sadly only for their flagship camera which not everyone needs.

 

Thanks

Yep... ACORS will work only on X-Processor cameras: http://www.fujirumors.com/my-personal-10-best-fujifilm-x-pro2-surprises-and-why-the-acros-film-simulation-will-sadly-never-go-to-x-t1-co/

 

But there will be new cameras in 2016. The X-T2 should be the first one (this summer)... and they will have ACROS

Thank you.

 

There was a brief description in google search that the X-T2 body would be around $1500 Cad.

I could not find any other info in regard to pricing. Would the X-T2 lose some features from X2Pro with lower

price or they should be very similiar price wise?

 

I understand its rumors but some may have better idea of details and pricing. I could wait till june for X-T2

although the X-T10 used prices now are very tempting.

The OVF in the X-Pro2 accounts for a considerable percentage of the cost. Even if they decide to use the newest Epson EVF in the X-T2, I doubt the cost would be higher.

 

Fuji may decide to price the X-T2 according to several parameters, competition pricing being one of them. But, given that a huge portion of the R&D work has already been done with the X-Pro2, if we assume they implement all X-Pro2 features (e.g. dual card slot, joystick, certainly the same sensor and processor), it can hardly cost more to produce and probably slightly less. Adding features such as 4K video is firmware driven after all. So the (highly speculative) answer would be if the X-T2 delivers the same feature set (more or less) with the X-Pro2 it should retail the same or even slightly lower.

 

But, then again, perhaps Fuji decides to implement more high-end features such as top-notch weather sealing, a larger buffer, or even an updated AF-system, etc, targeting "sports-oriented" competition such as the D500. There is no way in knowing at this point, although I'm sure the first (several/different) prototypes will be out in the wild sometime soon.

exciting times ahead. I started with fuji s1, x10, fuji x100. looks like the xt2 could be the final camera...
