If you're the proud owner of a Fujifilm X-T1, X-E2, X-E1, and X-Pro1, here's an early present for you this holiday season: Fujifilm has released firmware updates that add some pretty big new features your camera.
While he was born in 1965, it wasn’t until 2008 when Tatsuo Suzuki first picked up a camera with the intent to be a photographer. Since then, he’s been traveling around, camera in-hand, capturing the turbulent street life of Tokyo. Deep in contrast, strong in grain and often paired with a dragged out shutter, his monochrome images seem to paint a perfect picture of the world around him.
Fujifilm is making a name for itself as a company that truly supports the cameras it puts on the market. By delivering major firmware updates for existing models (even ones that have been discontinued and replaced) they make it less likely that people will upgrade, but simultaneously build fierce customer loyalty.
Today, Fuji continues down this road with firmware 2.0 for the X-E2: a major update that brings the X-T1's nearly no-lag EVF performance and more to the older shooter.
We're losing count of all the new gear announced in October so far, but one thing's for sure: if you have G.A.S. you're in serious trouble. Now joining Nikon's D5300, Sony's a7 and a7R, Panasonic's GM1 and more are two fresh cameras from the Fujifilm camp: the X-E2 and XQ1.
Patrick over at Fujirumors has published what appear to be the first leaked photos of an upcoming Fujifilm X-E2. Sent to him by an anonymous source, the photos suggest that the camera will have a frontside that's nearly identical to the X-E1.
