Fujifilm X-S1: The bridge camera, reinvented
The third camera from Fujifilm's X-series range, the X-S1, is now on sale in the UK with an SRP of £699.
The centrepiece of the X-S1 is the Fujinon 26x optical zoom lens, which offers a range of 24-624mm (35mm equivalent) and features a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide-angle setting.
The X-S1 also features the same 2/3-inch 12 megapixel EXR CMOS sensor as the X10, which, Fujifilm says, guarantees high quality images regardless of the lighting conditions.
The unique EXR CMOS technology pioneered by Fujifilm allows the user to switch between three modes – High Resolution, Wide Dynamic Range and High Sensitivity/Low Noise - depending on the lighting conditions – or leave the camera to make its own choice in the Auto EXR mode.
Coupled to the EXR CMOS sensor is a Fujifilm high speed EXR processor, which offers a minimal shutter lag of just 0.01sec and a high speed continuous shooting capability.
Easy composition and image review
The X-S1 offers a powerful combination of high quality electronic viewfinder (EVF) and rear LCD. The 0.47-inch EVF features 1.44 million pixels for superb image clarity, while the tiltable 3-inch LCD screen features 460,000 pixels and useful Daylight mode.
