An anonymous source just sent me this: “The X-Pro1 is going to be released at the originally rumored $1299. The brief $1,699.95 that was on Amazon was a marketing trick to help the real price seem even more attractive. That $1299 price includes the F1.4 lens kit :)
P.P.S. The X-Pro1 flash will be optional and has a cost of $299“

Is he telling us the truth? If the prices he is mentioning here are correct than it might be. But I don’t know if that marketing trick was really necessary…if there was any trick. Because I still don’t believe Amazon did leak this for purpose!

P.S.: The Amazon X PRO 1 page is now blank (Click here to see a blank page…LOL).

P.P.S.: The full real specs have been posted a couple of hours ago: https://www.mirrorlessrumors.com/in-deep-look-fuji-x-pro-1-specs/

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!
