Fujifilm India has announced the launch of FinePix X100S and FinePix X20 cameras in the country.
Fujifilm FinePix X100S is the successor to FinePix X100, inheriting the X100's high-performance lens, while adding a higher-definition hybrid viewfinder and a new sensor as well as image processor. The newly developed 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor and EXR Processor II increase resolution by approximately 25% and reduce noise by more than 30%, as per company's own estimates.
The highlight of the FinePix X100S is the AF in as little as 0.08 seconds. Additionally, the EXR Processor II offers fast response times with a start-up time of only approximately 0.5 seconds, a shooting interval of 0.5 seconds, and a shutter time lag of only 0.01 seconds.
Fujifilm FinePix X100S comes with a Hybrid Viewfinder that combines both an optical and an electronic Viewfinder. Making use of the in-built phase detection pixels for AF action, the X100S offers a "Digital Split Image" feature, which displays dual images on the left and right to be lined up for manual focusing. This enables accurate focusing especially when working with an open aperture or macro shooting.
