Any questions? :) I guess this is it! Official announcement in a few hours (9pm London time). let’s see if the image quality is really amazing. That is what we really have still tos ee now!

Today at 9pm London time Fuji will announce the new X PRO 1 camera. As you know you can I am going to follow live the Fuji announcement by updating this website with all news, reviews and image samples. And as it is usual before the announcement new rumors are floating around the web. There is one particular rumor saying that Fuji will announce the development of a Full Frame mirrorless and interchangeable system. As usual take those rumors with a grain of salt but I would not be surprised to hear that Fuji will give us some hints about their future lineup. They usually do that and they could do it today too!

From top to bottom this could be the new X camera order:
– X FF camera system
– X PRO 1 APS-C camera system
– X 100 (enthusiast fixed lens camera. Already in Stock: [shopcountry 100018].)
– X S1 (entry level super zoom camera. Preorders just started at Adorama)
– X 10 (entry level compact camera already in Stock: [shopcountry 100018].)

Announcement time Reminder:
4pm NYC time (16:00)
9pm London time (21:00)
10pm Berlin time (22:00)
6am Tokyo time (06:00)

UDPATE: Amazon removed both the lens and camera preorder page!
The Fuji X PRO 1 was available for preorder here at Amazon (page now blank). The price of the body only is $1,699.95.
The price of the lens was also visible since yesterday but the preorder pages have now preordered:
The 35mm f/1.4 lens at Amazon was available for $499.
The 18mm f/2.0 lens at Amazon was available for $499.
The 60mm macro lens at Amazon. was available for $599.

UPDATE: There was alao a page on Adorama (so I have been told but I didn’t find it).

If those are indeed the real prices let me know what your intentions are:

Our friends over at Photorumors found other two images of the Fuji X Pro 1 camera. It’s really a poor man’s Leica camera :)

And I am so surprised to see that Amazon didn’t remove the lens preorder links. Is that all part of a “rumor” startegy?

There is no image of the lenses yet but you can really preorder them! What’s missing is the camera but it’s coming on Monday at 9pm. So you really don’t have to wait a lot!

Here is the image of the leather case and flash via Photorumors:

MiTaka (dpreview forum user) unveiled some more details about the upcoming Fuji mirrorless system:

1) RGB pixels in 6*6 random pixel sets
2) More lenses and M-mount to X adapter are coming within 2012.
3) The optical viewfinder offers different magnification x0.37 for the WA, and x0.6 for the other two lenses. The magnification ratio is also user selectable for using third party lenses.
4) The camera comes with some new film modes + multiple exposure features.
5) Accessories will include leather case, new flash, grip.
6) Every lens will come with hood, also fuji will offer protective filters.

It’s important to underline that there is no word yet about the fact that Fuji will use the new organic sensor technology. They keep talking about the randomly positioned Pixels and not about the used material. And the new M-mount adapter will allow current [shoplink 100116 ebay]Leica lens[/shoplink] owners to buy a cheap alike camera that will probaby beat the M9 image quality (if the Fuji marketing guys are telling us the truth about the new sensor being better than any current FF sensor).

A new source also sent me the following info: “Fuji mirrorless camera will be announced at 9pm GMT on Monday… it looks amazing, looks like it will be a big hit with many people!” (Thanks for sending me this!)

You can follow the announcement live here on MirrorlessRumors. I will update you with all the news, revies and tests I can found on the web. So buy your Popcorns and be online here at 4pm NYC time, 9pm London time or 10pm Berlin time or 6am Tokyo time!

DC.watch (Click here to read the translation) interviewed MR. Tian Rong Jin, Managing Director Canon Image Communication Business Division. He unveiled a couple of interesting things about their mirrorless plan. I don’t speak japanese and the google translation tool is not really 100% reliable. I ask my japanese readers to check if everything I understood is correct:

1) Canon will release a mirrorless system within 2012

2) First comes the image quality and than the downsizing. There should be a perception that the new mirrorless camera is a clear step towards from a classic compact camera. That statement clearly goes against Nikon’s decision to offer a mirrorless system camera with a smaller than m43 sensor (Click here to see the nIkon 1 system).

3) The lenses for the new mirrorless system need to be small.

It’s quite a surprise to see Canon talk that openly about mirrorless. And there is definitely a reason why they are now talking about it. I guess they want to warn the market by saying: “Hey don’t buy Sony, m43 or Fuji…wait for us!“. TO me it sounds like they will launch a new APS-C mirrorless system with a bunch of nice compact lenses. Photokina could be the right place for that.

One thing is sure: 2012 will be the year of mirrorless cameras. And I am here to give you every small bits of news and rumors I can get! Starting from the next post when I will talk about the exact Fuji X Pro 1 launch date and hour ;)
