Fujifilm Photography News and Rumors

Yesterday I shared details about Fujifilm’s new unique rear flip screen first and another site tried to copy me without copying me, which caused a lot of confusion relating to the SP-X mockup. The SP-X mockup is old and not a leak at all since it was shown off at an official Fujifilm event, but since that site, won’t link back to me and put a watermark on the photo when they posted it lots of readers made assumptions that were not true. THERE CURRENTLY IS NO PHOTO OF THE X-PRO3, just the above drawings.

Now that same site is saying that an IBIS X-Pro3 Rumor I shared is not real, but it’s a weibo rumor, not mine. Of interest if you follow through to the weibo link the poster was either bullied into saying it came from the offending site or they passed the buck, but who knows weibo has a lot of rumors and there’s a lot of bait and switch on there, which is why you give credit and move on when a rumor might be wrong.

The offending site has been copying everything I do here the best they can, but I primarily target a US audience, while they are very much European and their attempt to game the system has lead to a twitter ban which is kind of humous and I think I know why. Which brings us to today with multiple posts about nothing just to game Google’s SEO and make up for lost traffic. Well, I have some more details for readers.

NEW DETAILS
My source only handled the camera for a little bit, but I asked about the previous rumor from weibo and received the following:

“there is no ibis,I didn’t talk about it but  I think it has same processor, sensor etc.at x-t”

So it looks like the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will be exactly like the X-T3 with the exception of the flip screen, which isn’t a bad thing. If Fujifilm holds anything back I imagine it might be some of the video features in the X-T3, but I like the purist Leica like the design of the X-Pro3. As for a release date, we should see the camera in the coming months, but it should come before December. I will share more when I get more until then beware of multiple low detail posts meant to game google instead of inform readers.

My 100% reliable inside source had a Fujifilm X-Pro3 prototype in hand recently and sent me some drawings explaining how the new flip screen will work. His drawing explains how the new flip screen works and it looks really interesting, but I have already sent him some additional questions to clarify it’s operation. This might not be the final design because it was a sample camera, but it certainly would be an interesting one if it is final.

It looks like the rear screen will just have shooting information on it until you flip it down and then you can use a more traditional screen, which purists will love. This feature really plays into the Fujifilm X-Pro 3 being a different shooting experience than other Fujifilm cameras. Below is some of the text my source sent me.

As you can see,X-pro has one way tilt screen like on my fantastic drawing😉. When you hold the camera (yes I hold a sample X-Pro3), you can see a cover and  run the camera you can also see film simulations on the middle of cover (provia,velvia,CC…)

As I Told you, Xpro3 has only one way tilting screen.Moving from top to bottom and from bottom to top. After you open the cover, you can see LCD screen. No moving from right to left or from left to right (very strange).

It was a sample camera. May be they can change and add motion from right to left or from left to wright on final camera.

As someone has pointed out without taking my post the design is similar to the concept camera seen here and below. Except obviously it will have an EVF/OVF and the small back info screen, unlike this prototype. I also confirmed that the back screen is like the sub-screen on the GFX100 so it will be some type of E-Ink display on the back.
