Some of the rumored specs are as follows:

  • Same 16MP sensor as in the X-Pro1 (with max ISO of 25,600)
  • 6 fps
  • Light magnesium body
  • Improved AF speed
  • Price: bellow $1000
  • To be released before Christmas
  • Same video recording capabilities as the X-Pro1
  • Mic input
  • EVF only (not hybrid as the X-Pro1)
  • Two colors: black and silver
  • Pull 25 ISO to simulate Velvia in JPEG mode
  • The X-E1 will have a 2,360k dots OLED EVF with a 1:5000 contrast ratio
  • The optical part of the EVF will have a double ASPH element and diopter correction
  • The X-E1 body will weight 350 g (compared to 450 g for the X-Pro1)
  • The Mic input of the X-E1 will server also as electronic camera trigger

We want to know what you think. Is this something you would be interested in? I for one can say that this camera could find a nice home next to my X-Pro 1!

Here are some other shots from around the web:
