Fuji announcement on January 28.

Fujifilm posted a teaser on their X-system site with picture of a new (mirrorless and presumably weather-sealed) camera:

The camera does have a prominent hump in the middle. The compensation is now extended to 3 stops (X-E1 got 2), and there is a small red button instead of Fn, probably a dedicated 'movie' button. The camera got an extra dial on the top left, and it looks like a dedicated iso dial. This would be really cool thing to have but I am not sure how this would work with custom modes where it is possible to select iso as a custom parameter. Anyway, the new camera looks very cool. According to the rumors, Fuji made additional improvements in autofocus for X-T1 compared to X-E2. Frankly, I am very happy with the autofocus speed on X-E1 and two zoom lens, XF18-55mm and XF55-200 (I do not take many pictures of fast moving subjects). I am unhappy with performance of the macro lens (I mean the autofocus speed).
