The new Fuji X20 point and shoot camera is now available and shipping at Adorama and B&H Photo.
I really liked my hands-on time with the X20 at CES 2013. I think this is going to be a solid compact camera that is worthy of its retro flare…
Fuji F850EXR
Fuji announced several new compact cameras yesterday:
The F900EXR and F850EXR are both 16MP superzoom, compact cameras with a 20x optical zoom. The F900EXR offers a few premium features (like Wireless Image Transfer and higher continuous shooting frame rates) over the F850EXR, but otherwise appear to be the same cameras. [Read more…]

Alongside the Fuji X100S, the new Fuji X20 was unveiled at CES 2013. The X20 is a point and shoot camera that uses a 2/3″ 12MP X-Trans sensor and has no anti-aliasing filter. It features a bright 4x zoom lens (28-112mm equivalent) with a f/2-2.8 max aperture. [Read more…]
The Fuji X100S is an upgrade to the very popular Fuji X100. The X100S builds on the success of its predecessor and takes several cues from user feedback to make a better all-around camera. At first blush, it seems to have hit the mark quite well. [Read more…]

Fujifilm has a press conference scheduled for January 7, 2013 (next Monday) just prior to CES 2013. Photo Rumors is reporting that the Fuji X100s and X20 will be announced that day and will both be similar to the X100 and X10, respectively.
The Fuji X100s should contain the same leaf shutter as found in the X100, which is great news. The X100s should also offer focus peaking as an additional feature to aid in manual focusing.
I’ll have more on this from CES 2013 (hopefully live).
It looks like the excellent Fuji X100 is finally getting a proper successor. A recent article on the Fuji X-E1, written by Tony Bridge (who is sponsored by Fujifilm), mentioned that the replacement for the X100 is due out “early next year.” Given Fuji’s historically solid showing at CES, there’s a good chance that the next X-series camera with a leaf shutter will show up at CES 2013 in the first few days of January.
