Fuji has taken the wraps off of its latest X-series camera, the XF1 compact camera.
The new XF1 is a retro take on the compact camera – styled much like the current X100, X-Pro1 and X-E1.
The Fuji XF1 features a 12MP 2/3-inch CMOS sensor and optical image stabilization on its 4x zoom lens (25-100mm equivalent). The lens offers a variable aperture of f/1.8-4.9 and a manual zoom ring. Other features include full HD video capture and 360-degree panoramic images.
The Fuji XF1 should be available in October for $499.95. It is currently available for pre-order here at Amazon.com.
The Fuji XF1 is the latest in the X-Series lineup and set to be announced later tonight (or early morning). Most of the details on the new camera, however, have already leaked out via Samy’s Camera (although Samy’s appears to have removed those specs as of now).
The Fuji XF1 will feature a 12MP 2/3-inch CMOS sensor and optical image stabilization on its 4x zoom lens (25-100mm equivalent). The lens offers a variable aperture of f/1.8-4.9 . . . so, very bright on the wide end. Other features include full HD video capture and 360-degree panoramic images.
Some great news is that the XF1 will offer RAW capture. Earlier spec leaks/rumors did not mention RAW capture, which cause some concern among enthusiasts. So, kudos to Fuji for putting this important feature in this new X-Series shooter. [Read more…]
Even though it was not announced alongside the new Fuji X-E1 yesterday, the Fuji XF1 compact camera has largely leaked out with plenty of images and specs to share.
The Fuji XF1 is a compact camera with a retro styling that puts it in the same vein as the new X-E1 and X-Pro1 mirrorless cameras. The lens can apparently be zoomed using the manual control ring around the lens barrel.
