Fujifilm has announced the X-S1, a premium-grade superzoom compact. The X-S1 is part of the company’s high-end ‘X Series’ and is built around the same 12MP 2/3″ CMOS sensor as the X10 compact. Despite the comparatively large sensor, it manages to include a 26X 24-624mm equivalent F2.8-5.6 zoom lens. It also features Raw shooting, a 1.44M dot electronic viewfinder and 460,000 dot rear LCD along with a rubberized coating and metal dials to emphasize its premium ‘Made in Japan’ status.

Fujifilm launches FinePix F600 EXR travel zoom

18 Aug

Fujifilm has announced the FinePix F600 EXR, an updated version of its F550 raw-capable compact superzoom. The F600 features the same back-illuminated 1/2" EXR CMOS sensor and 24-360mm equivalent zoom lens but gains a series of feature improvements, allowing users to make more of the camera’s capabilities. The biggest advance is a motion detection mode that allows the camera to increase the ISO to better capture moving subjects. If motion isn’t detected, the camera will use a lower ISO to maximise image quality. The camera’s GPS is also better utilized, with the addition of a Landmark Navigator mode that informs you of nearby landmarks as well as tagging them in your photos. It also features an ‘Intelligent Digital Zoom’ context-sensitive sharpening feature when up-sizing the cropped images shot in digital zoom mode, to reduce the loss of image quality. The camera retains the F550’s raw capability and 1080p30 HD movie shooting.

Fujifilm Canada offers sneak peek at X100 firmware

07 Jul

Fujifilm Canada has released details of the forthcoming X100 firmware update on its ‘@fujiguys’ Twitter feed. A series of updates detail ten significant changes to the X100’s firmware, designed to address some of the criticisms of the camera’s behavior. Changes include more responsive ‘wake from sleep’ behavior without a long press of the shutter button, clear indication of the eye sensor being engaged and the maintaining of ISO/Self-Timer/DR/Flash/Macro settings when exposure mode, review mode or power state is changed. The original messages can be found at http://twitter.com/#!/fujiguys but, as yet, no official announcement of when the updated firmware will become available has been made.

Fujifilm camera chief adds weight to interchangeable lens rumors

The head of Fujifilm’s camera division has suggested the company may make a return to interchangeable lens cameras. In an interview with news agency Reuters, Takeshi Higuchi stressed the importance of launching ‘luxury’ models to help establish the company as a high-profile brand. In addition he discusses the company’s reasoning for looking beyond China for manufacturing. However, his comments about having the in-house capabilities to develop its own cameras may reduce the speculation about the company producing models for pre-existing camera systems.
