Fuji's Next X Camera?

[Chris Dodkin]

Rumors abound, that a new X series body will be launched at CES in January - and that it's going to give people another retro look model.

If the pundits are right - it could be a pro model, based on this design - the Fuji STX

So more of an SLR footprint - allowing for bigger/better viewfinder due to the extra real estate - and giving those folks who aren't 'rangefinder' fans, something to lust over.

Other rumors say APS-C X-Trans II, double SD card slots, weather sealed body, priced below X-Pro1

I have my CES tickets all booked - so I'll be posting pics and a report, as and when anything happens

My first SLR was an STX-1, so I wouldn't object to circling back after 30+ years!

Interesting. Looking forward to the report as usual.

ooh, shiny. a bigger viewfinder would be nice, but i'm really hoping they'll move the tripod socket so you can leave a tripod foot on without blocking the battery/sd card slot.

Sounds interesting!

fuji are making me poor.

what they need to do is a make a digital 617

Probably not enough market for two competing brands. Just buy the Seitz.
