12.36 CET That’s the end of the whistle-stop tour of Fujifilm’s new mirrorless camera. Make sure to check-out our Hands-On Photos and Preview articles for more detailed information on the exciting X-Pro1.

12.35 CET 14mm is the widest lens currently planned, it will work with the optical viewfinder.

12.33 CET No external microphone support. Boo. The X100 is STILL backordered worldwide.

12.32 CET Can change focal length of lenses in-camera when using the not-yet-released Leica-M adapter. Otherwise have to use the EVF.

12.31 CET Ships with Silkypix RAW software. “Oh boy!” shouts a journalist.

12:28 CET Built-in magnifier in the hybrid viewfinder will work with future zoom lenses.

12.26 CET Leica-M adapter “in the works”! Plus other system adapters too…

12.25 CET Cost to you - around $1700 body-only, to be confirmed closer to the end-February launch date.

12:22 CET 9 lenses will be released in total for the new X-Pro1 system, including a 14mm, more primes and several zooms by the end of 2013.

12:20 CET Hybrid viewfinder. 0.6x magnification built-in that switches automatically to match the attached lens.

12:17 CET X-Trans CMOS sensor. No low-pass filter. No moire in days of film, so Fujifilm have developed a 6x6 array to avoid moire and increase resolution. EXR processor developed to handle the extra data. Will out-perform both APS-C and Full-frame sensors in terms of resolution at any ISO setting!

12:15 CET X-mount 17.7mm flange back to deliver optimum results from the XF lenses.

12:13 CET XF Lenses high resolution, all glass, unique aperture blade. 18mm f/2, 35mm f/1.4, 60mm f/2,4 macro - just what Amazon predicted yesterday. 1/3 stop aperture increments on the lens.

12:09 CET The not-so-secret X-Pro1 is officially announced. Finally!

12:00 CET Hundreds of journalists are literally squeezed into the Venetian conference room.
