Fujifilm has just formally announced the X-Pro2, X70, X-E2s and the XF100-400 lens at a press conference held in Tokyo.
The official product pages on the Fujifilm Australia site were prematurely made live earlier today, before promptly taking the pages down. This, along with several other ‘accidental’ leaks, makes us wonder whether it was all part of a cunning marketing ploy…
It’s a move that mirrors Nikon New Zealand’s apparent Internet snafu last week which saw them share news of the as-yet-unannounced D5 on the Facebook page, before quickly deleting both the post and the page.
