Amazon US will ship the Fuji X PRO 1 on Tuesday!

One of our readers just sent us the info he got from Amazon about his Fuji X PRO 1 preorder: “Your estimated delivery date is: Tuesday, April 3, 2012“. Of course this is not a fool’s day joke. For that read the Canon IX-D mirrorless camera release post at Digitalkamera (google translated)! :)

G1X first time in Stock at BH. Fuji X PRO 1 coming next week in USA.

First the good news: For the first time the G1X is in Stock at BHphoto (Click here). Now the bad news: The X PRO 1 will ship in USA next week only (again according to BH).

But let’s focus on new Canon/Fuji reviews:
1) G1X Field report at Outbackphoto (Click here).
2) Steve Huff (Click here) made a quick ISO comparison between the X PRO and the NEX-7.
3) X PRO Hands On Review at ThePhoBlographer (Click here): “This is the camera that many of us have been waiting for. It is smallish, built well, has lenses ready with it, and has some exceptional image quality. It feels excellent in my hands and to be very honest with you, I am very close to selling my Canon 7D in order to fund one.
4)X PRO Studio test samples at Imaging Resource (Click here).
5) X PRO Full review at ThedigitalPhotographySchool (Click here). The quality is “phenomenal! Razor sharp, precise colour capture.

The Fuji X PRO 1 camera can be preordered:

Fuji in Stock at Jessops, shipping at Amazon and reviewed by LL.

For the first time the X PRO 1 is in Stock in UK at Jessops (Click here). And it is now temporarily out of Stock at Amazon US (Click here). This means the first stocks are shipping :)

Nick Devlin posted the second part of his X PRO 1 review at Luminous Landscape (Click here): “This camera can see in the dark. Its performance up to ISO 6400 is nothing short of remarkable, in particular for an APS-C sensor. This is the first camera I have used where ISO is just not an issue.” He really fell in love with the image quality and hybrid viewfinder but also found some flaws like the not so top performer 18mm lens and the usual slow autofocus.

NEX-7 in Stock for the first time after seven months at Amazon US.

It took seven long months before to see that green “In Stock” mark close to the NEX-7 at Amazon! And finally you can get it via a know third party reseller for the normal price:
NEX-7 body via Ritz at Amazon (Click here).
NEX-7 with Black 18-55mm kit lens in Stock via Ritz at Amazon (Click here).

One more news: And also for the first time Photozone tested NEX lenses on the NEX-7: The Sony 30mm f/3.5 macro lens (Click here to read the review) and the Sony 50mm f/1.8 lens (Click here to read the review).
