I just read over on a Fuji Rumors that the new XF 10-24 f/4 OIS lens has been announced and will be available in March. Having just sold my 14mm as a favour to someone I now have an unexpected decision to make.
I also see there's an interview too with a Fuji manager that says some interesting things.
- X-Pro1 looks set to continue as the flagship for some time yet, getting further software updates
- they are very committed to this software update strategy
- new software again for X-Pro1 and X-E1 should come in a few days in fact
- they think 16MP is enough but may offer more pixels in the future (bowing to market demand I suppose)
- they won't be doing a FF body, at least any time soon and it looks like it's because it would need to have yet another lens lineup.
Nothing I hear stops me thinking that the future holds an flagship X-Pro2 with big megapixel APS-C sized organic sensor . The huge investment in the X-mount lenses suggests to me a very long term strategy in APS-C sized sensors.
