Ahead of our full review, here are 60 JPEG and 30 RAW photos taken with the new Fujifilm X-Pro1 compact system camera. We're currently testing the X-Pro1 with all three new lenses - the 17mm, 35mm and 60mm - and we've also shot an ISO range from 100 to 25600 to show what the XPro1's innovative sensor is capable of.
The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a new compact system camera sporting a 16-megapixel, APS-C sized “X-Trans” CMOS sensor, Hybrid Multi Viewfinder and a new “X” lens mount. The completely new Fujifilm X-Trans CMOS sensor has a new type of CFA (colour filter array) “inspired by the random arrangement of fine film grain” and no optical low-pass filter. According to Fujifilm, this solution results in a higher resolution than that provided by a Bayer sensor of a similar pixel count. The new X lens mount has a short flange-back distance of just 17.7mm and a wide opening, contributing to high edge-to-edge sharpness and resolution. The Hybrid Multi Viewfinder works similarly to the hybrid opto-electronic finder found on the X100, except that it also offers variable magnification to match lenses of any focal length. The camera comes with a traditional shutter speed dial and a recessed exposure compensation control that is precision milled from solid metal. The Fujifilm X-Pro1 body will cost £1399 in the UK and $1699 in the US.
In addition to the Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera, the company has also announced three Fujinon XF prime lenses, the XF 18mm f2 R ($499), the XF 35mm f/1.4 R ($499) and the XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro ($599), each of which features a traditional aperture ring and an iris diaphragm with rounded aperture blades.
Fujifilm USA has officially announced the Fujifilm X100 Black Edition. According to the company, “Fujifilm is also launching a limited release of the high-end compact digital camera FUJIFILM X100 Black Premium Edition worldwide. The X100 Black Premium Edition will come with a genuine leather case, a lens hood, an adapter ring and a protective filter; and will also include a Limited Edition numbered card for product authentication.”
According to Fujifilm, the new, 14-megapixel Fuji Finepix XP150 is “the toughest FinePix yet”. Dust-, sand and shockproof, the Fujifilm FinePix XP150 is water resistant down to a depth of 10m and will keep functioning all the way down to -10 °C. The 28-140mm equivalent zoom lens comes with a water repellent coating to prevent water droplets spoiling your shots and even the battery/memory slot cover comes with a new double lock design for ultimate protection from the elements. Thanks to the FinePix XP150’s new high sensitivity GPS antenna it’s now quicker and easier to pinpoint your location. And if you’re moving around and taking pictures, the FinePix XP150 will even track your movements and show the route on the LCD. Alternatively, you can create a pictorial map of the locations you’ve visited using the bundled My FinePix Studio software and your PC. The FinePix XP150 will be available in five colours: black, silver, orange, green and blue.
The 14-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix XP50 is the latest model in the XP series of all-weather compact cameras. Waterproof to a depth of 5m, shock resistant and freezeproof down to -10 degrees Celsius, the FinePix XP50 has a 28-140mm equivalent zoom lens and a 14.4-megapixel CMOS sensor optimised for rapid response times. Available in black, blue, green, orange and silver, the FinePix XP50’s exterior has also been updated for both a more stylish appearance and an improved, easy-to-hold surface. Other highlights incluse sensor-shift image stabilisation, a Motion Panorama mode, a “super-bright” 2.7-inch rear screen, Full HD video recording and a mini HDMI cable connection port.
Fujifilm has issued firmware updates for its FinePix XP20 (XP22), XP30 and Z90 (Z91) digital compact cameras. Version 1.02 for the XP20/XP22 and Z90/Z91, and version 1.03 for the XP30 all bring the following improvements:
1. Improvement of zoom-in and zoom-out speed in playback mode.
2. Improvement of playback (panning) speed for panorama images.
