New X cameras from Fuji

Fujifilm will release a new compact X camera, X30, apparently with electronic viewfinder and non-fixed rear screen. According to leaked images, the rear layout differs significantly from X10 - price to pay for tiltable(?) screen. It seems that the new camera will be announced soon.

Rumors about X200 and X-Pro2 circulate around the web for some time, with major announcement expected "very soon". We may see a new sensor in these cameras.

If I only can get some spare time for photography...

Thunderstorm in Brisbane
Storm over Mt Coot-tha, Brisbane. Fuji X-E1 & XF18-55mm

Mt Coot-tha dominates over Brisbane. The area is cover with a dry eucalypt forest with a number of tracks, picnic areas and some local attractions such as an abandoned gold mine. The area is a very popular destination for Brisbanites during weekends. Most tracks are fairly easy can can be accessed through numerous entry points at different locations.

random shot

Mohave White
Mohave White at the Brisbane Botanic Garden, Mt Coot-tha. Fuji X-E1 & XF55-200mm.

Fujinon XF55-200mm is a default lens on my Fuji X-E1 for very long time. The combo is not small and it is a bit heavy. I also miss a wide angle range, not much, but 55 / 75mm is somewhat limiting.

I also realized that my Olympus DSLR collects dust for very long time.
