Another rumor on entry-level mirrorless X camera from Fuji


Another rumor post on entry-level mirrorless camera from Fuji. Not much new there. The same price range as rumored earlier, ~$550 for the body + lens kit. What lens? It is a lens. Can be a new XF27mm F2.8 pancake (41mm eqv). It probably will be a good combo for street shooters. As expected, the camera will be smaller and with less controls than Fuji X-E1. The UI of X-E1 is good but some buttons are "dumb" in certain modes. So, with some optimisation the UI of the "X-M1" might be comparable with other X cameras.

Am I interested in a pancake lens? Not much at the moment. I am after the XF55-200mm zoom or/and the wide angle zoom. However, for other people the fairly wide prime lens in combination with small camera might be very attractive. Street shooters may like it.
