Fuji XQ1 is a Compact Camera with a X-Trans II Sensor

October 18, 2013 By Eric Reagan

Fuji XQ1

The new Fujifilm XQ1 was introduced alongside the Fuji X-E2 mirrorless camera. The XQ1 is a compact camera that features Fuji’s unique 12MP X-Trans II CMOS sensor, albeit at a much smaller 2/3″ sensor format. Even though it has a smaller sensor, the XQ1 should stand as a direct competitor to the popular Sony RX100.

In addition to the X-Trans II sensor, the XQ1 features a 4x zoom lens (25-100mm equivalent) with a f/1.8-4.9 variable aperture and optical image stabilization. Fuji claims a very fast 0.06 second AF speed as the fastest in the category thanks to the hybrid autofocus that comes from the 100,000 phase detection pixels at the sensor level.
