Fuji postpones fw updates for the X cameras to fix an error…

Let’s catch up with some important Fuji news. First, it sounds almost unbelievable but Fuji claims that the new X20 compact camera with tiny 2/3 inch sensor outperforms the much larger Sony RX100 sensor quality and even the 12 Megapixel MFT sensor! And the graph on top is here to “prove” it. It has been shown at a presentation in Barcelona and our friends fromQuesabesde (translation here) picked it up.

For a short time Fuji UK (Click here to see the cached site) showed the info about new X cameras and lens firmware updates. The page has than been removed and release postponed because of an error that should be fixed soon. While you have to wait for the official release you may check out the latest two articles from Fuji “Guru” Rico Pfirstinger :)
