Fujifilm X-S1 Preview
For 2012, FujiFilm has really brought out the 'big guns', as can be seen with the new X-S1. This model is a cross between their popular HS series of high-end super-zooms, and their newer X series of high-end dSLR-like cameras like the X100 and X10. The X-S1 brings a lot to the table, with exposure options to suit the needs of just about any level of photographer. From EXR Auto to full manual, the X-S1 has you covered. On top of this, the camera uses a larger (in consumer camera standards) 2/3", 12-megapixel EXR CMOS image sensor, which they promise will bring a high level of image quality with some help from the camera's FUJINON 26x optical zoom lens; which covers an impressive range of 24-624mm, with a maximum aperture range of f/2.8-5.6.
Other appealing features include a high resolution EVF, Fuji's all new "Intelligent 2x Digital zoom" (which doubles the X-S1's zoom capabilities with minimal sacrifices to resolution and image quality), true Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), up to 7fps burst mode shooting at full resolution (10fps at lower res), a heads up eye sensor for switching to the EVF, Full 1080p HD video at 30fps with stereo sound (h.265 format), RAW and JPEG image formats, and a Li-ion power source good for up to 500 shots on a single charge.
We're really looking forward to getting our hands on an X-S1, so stay tuned as we update this page in the future once we get one in for review.
