Fujifilm has just formally announced the X-Pro2 at a press conference held in Tokyo.
The official product page for the X-Pro2 on the Fujifilm Australia site was prematurely made live earlier today, before they promptly took the page 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.
Anyway, onto the main event…
