I dont usually post about a non-Nikon camera that hasn't been released but I have every confidence that the XT1is a real.
So here is a link to the rumours.

The Olympus EM1 is a fine camera but I believe that Fuji have a better camera in the XT1 and the Fuji lenses are top quality.
For those that dont know the most expensive professional video cameras all use Fuji lenses, as does Hasselblad.
For those of you contemplating a new camera then I will say this. My Fuji XPro1 and XE1 cameras are 16MP cameras with an APS-C (DX) sized sensor. These cameras produce the same quality output as my D3S and D3 12MP (FX sized sensor) cameras.
The big difference is that my Fuji kit of XPro1, XE1 and flash, with 14, 18, 35, 18-55, 60, 55-200 lenses plus filters and macro attachments and spare batteries all fit in a LowePro MiniTrekker back pack that weighs less than 8kg.
My similar Nikon kit comprised D3, D3S, SB800, extension tubes, filters, and Sigma12-24, Nikon 24-70, 105 Mikro AFS, 70-200mm, plus spare batteries fits in a LowePro Trekker AW and weighs 22kg.
I am seriously thinking of getting rid of my D3 and D3S much as I am sure I will miss using them. I have a D800 and D600 which work well for me.
The Fuji XT1 can use all my Nikon lenses in manual focus mode so I lose AF if I do.
I have my other Nikons if I need fast AF which is currently the only down side I see on the Fujis but the new XT1 may resolve that issue.
Does this take the x series lens?
