Fuji X-T1P goes 4K…with the viewfinder :)
This could upset the brand new X-T1 owners but Fuji is really already going to offer a new hardware updated X-T1P camera soon!
Fujirumors reports that among the hardware changes there will be a new 4K viewfinder! And now, this doesn’t mean the X-T1P will have 4K recording capability. The new X-T1P will have the same “sub-par” video performance.
The camera will be officially unveiled the beginning of July. And I am wondering why Fuji hurried that much to bring an updated X-T1…
New Fuji XF 18-135mm leaks out ahead of the Monday announcement.
Our Japanese “rumorfriends” from Digicameinfo shared that image of the final Fuji XF 18-135mm f/ 3.5-5.6 R LM OIS lens. It’s a weather sealed lens that will cost 108,000 yen (tax included). That’s about $1,000 or 800 Euro.
The lens will be announced next Monday (June 16).
Look at this: First Sony Full Frame curved sensor image!
We saw it only as a sketch on Sony patents before. But now we have it in real! This is the new Sony curved sensor and it comes in two variations: Full Frame (43mm) and for Mobile Phones and Tablets (11mm).
The Full Frame sensor is likely to find his way in the new RX2 because this is also what Sony patent were showing us: a FF curved sensor used along a 35mm f/1.8 lens.
As far as we know Sony is the only company offering such a sensor and Sony also said at the 2014 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits event that they developed a special production technique to produce it in mass.
At the end what matters is that: With such sensors corners become 2x more sensitive and have a lot less of issues. And lenses can be designed in a more compact way.
