B&H Photo and Adorama have updated their pages with conflicting release dates at the end of March for the Fuji X-Pro 2, while Amazon has not. It is Fujiaddict’s belief that this is based on a projection rather than any firm announcement by Fuji. We will continue to follow the issue closely and provide you with updates. Read More

DPReview has an interesting video sample that’s worth watching. It demonstrats the gains that we can expect this generation.
You can read more about their initial impressions here and I will be including a few test videos in my review when my preorder is delivered.
Fuji Film posted a recording of the X series launch event on their Corporate channel in two parts the other day. It is bit long, but I find their claim about the X-T1 having resolution between 24-36MP throughout the ISO range and the X-Pro 2 resolving beyond 36MP interesting.
Part 1
When the X-Pro 1 launched I bought all the lenses available for the system, but eventually sold all but the Fujinon XF35 1.4 because it gave me the best performance and focal length for street shooting. that time, there wasn’t a catalog of lenses to dig through, but now Fuji has an excellent selection of lenses. For people new to Fuji there really aren’t any bad lenses, but the more recently released lenses focus a bit quicker and are significantly quieter than the original X mount lenses, like the XF35 F1.4, XF18 F2, and XF60 F2.4. The original line up of X mount lenses were all excellent, although the XF18 F2 had some optical imperfections that are inherent in pancake lens designs. Read More
It looks like demand for the X-Pro 2 has been so strong that Fuji chose to postpone the launch of their next generation flagship camera until March so they can ramp up production. You can read more here.
