Fujifilm X-Pro2 release moved to early March

09 Feb

Last month, Fujifilm unveiled the X-Pro2 mirrorless camera with a February 18 release date. Per a statement (in Japanese) issued on Friday, the camera maker has postponed the release until early March due to an unspecified production delay and higher than anticipated global orders. The postponement will ‘ensure a sufficient supply amount’ is available, according to Fujifilm. A specific release date will be revealed at a later time. This news follows last week’s Nikon D500 delay announcement, with Nikon also citing high demand as the reason.

8 March, 2014 – Phase One’s Future

10 Mar

On February 18, 2014 Silverfleet Capital announced their plans to invest in Phase One.  As happens in the photography industry this announcement sent the rumor mills into high gear.  Loyal Phase One customers were worried that Phase One may be following the path of its competitor which is now run by a VC firm.  Talk of changes and layoffs also were making the rounds.  So, we felt what better way to get the right story than to go to the source.  Kevin Raber caught up with Henrik Håkonsson CEO of Phase One, in Las Vegas last week at the WPPI show and had a chat with him on what this new investor means for Phase One.
