Fuji Launches The X100s

October 11, 2023January 7, 2013 by Dan Carr

Two years ago Fuji created a storm in the camera market with the launch of the X100. The retro styling, large APS-C sensor and f2 prime lens was a breath of fresh air and for six months or more after the launch date they were nigh on impossible to get hold of such was their popularity! I owned one myself for about a year and you can read my review HERE if you need a refresher. Today Fuji have unveiled the cameras successor and it looks as though they have kept all the good bits of the previous camera and …

Fuji Launches New Retro Compact – XF1

July 10, 2024September 16, 2012 by Dan Carr

Fuji knows how to design a cool looking camera and the new XF1 is no exception. This takes the same sensor from the popular and highly regarded X10 and puts it into a even more svelte package. FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is proud to announce the launch of the XF1, a pocket-sized premium compact digital camera. This latest addition to Fujifilm’s X-series range of cameras is due to be on sale in November this year. With its perfectly matched lens and sensor, careful attention to detail on appearance and design, and accessible technology, the XF1 extends the X series …

Why Bother With The Fuji X-Pro 1? Just Get the X-E1!

July 10, 2024September 6, 2012 by Dan Carr

So Fuji went and announced a new camera in the X-Series today called the X-E1. It’s pegged as the more affordable version of the X-Pro 1 but in my mind it makes the X-Pro 1 a now pointless purchase. You see the X-E1 features the exact same 16MP sensor as its bigger brother, it adds a built in pop-up flash and it is physically quite a bit smaller. What’s the catch then ? Well you loose the hybrid optical viewfinder that Fuji touted as the major feature of the Fuji X100 and the X-Pro 1. But here’s then thing, that …

Fuji Announces Wide Angle Lens Adapter For The X100

October 12, 2023May 15, 2012 by Dan Carr

Interesting to see today that Fuji have unexpectedly launched both a 28mm wide angle lens adapter for the X100 and also firmware version 1.3 . I think it’s pretty safe to say in that case that we can expect to see this camera current for at least another 6 months. Now would be as good a time to buy one as any. I still have my own X100 and yes I still love it! I’ll definitely be taking a look at this adapter when it comes out. Valhalla, N.Y., May 15, 2012 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation today announced an …

Fuji Announces Their New X-Pro 1

October 11, 2023January 9, 2012 by Dan Carr

We’ve already seen some leaks about this camera but now it’s all out in the open. Fuji, welcome to the interchangeable lens market. With a classic styling, similar to the ever popular X100 this is sure to be an instant hit. A unique 16MP sensor manufactured by Fuji themselves requires no anti-aliasing filter due to it’s possibly revolutionary capturing system. Throw in three super fast prime lenses with an improved hybrid viewfinder and this looks to be the camera that many people have longed for since first seeing the X100. Confirmation that Fuji will be making a Leica M-Mount lens …

Fuji’s Interchangeable Lens Camera – The X-Pro 1

July 30, 2025January 5, 2012 by Dan Carr

Yesterday we had a small leak that confirmed the name and lenses and the day before we had a dodgy photo. Now we have a solid leak of photos and specs for the new Fuji X-Pro1. Critical specs First thoughts ? Well as we’ve come to expect from Fuji recently it’s a gorgeous looking camera. The lenses are quite a bit larger that I was expecting, and probably weight quite a lot with a metal construction and lots of fast glass.

Fuji Launches New X10 Camera – The X100’s Little Brother!

October 12, 2023August 31, 2011 by Dan Carr

Hot on the heels of their success with the X100 (which I reviewed and loved!), Fuji has today officially launched the X10. Where the X100 looked to redefine large sensor, compact prime lens market with it’s APS-C sensor and 24mm f2.0 lens, the X10 seeks to redefine the premium point and shoot market with a 28-112mm zoom lens and a 12MP 2/3″ sensor. To be honest it’s caught me a little bit by surprise because we knew about the X100 for many months before it’s launch and this one seems to have come out of the blue apart from a …

Fuji X10 Vs. X100

October 12, 2023August 30, 2011 by Dan Carr

The Fuji x100 is a phenomenally successful camera, even 6 months after it hit store shelves it’s still in short supply. I reviewed it myself and fell in love with it but the price tag isn’t for everyone, neither is the fixed 24mm prime lens. In September 2011 Fujifilm announced the X10 which addresses both of these considerations so I figured I would write up a comparison to help people choose between the two. At first glance they look fairly similar as both are based around the same rear screen and controls and a similar magnesium chassis but in fact …

Fujifilm X100 priced at $1200 – Pre Orders now being taken!

July 30, 2025January 16, 2011 by Dan Carr

I’ve written about this camera several times because I am personally very excited. You can read my full preview of the x100 here. The camera has received an incredible amount of attention since it was first shown at PMA and I expect it to sell very well. If you’d like to get one shortly after it’s release you will most definitely have to place a pre order. Adorama has the X100 for $1199.99 right here. B&H has also followed suit and has the camera for pre order at the same price.

Some Predictions For The Photography Industry in 2011

October 12, 2023January 2, 2011 by Dan Carr

Last week I went through 10 new years resolutions for 2011 and today I want to put down some predictions for how 2011 will shape up. I haven’t done this before, but if nothing else it’ll be fun to look back on in a years time! None of this stuff is based on any secret inside sources that I have , just pure conjecture based on readily available information and my knowledge of the industry. Nikon Nikon will certainly release a mirroless interchangeable lens camera sometime in Q2 or Q3 this year. We have seen many patents filed for such …

Fujifilm Finepix X100 preview

November 1, 2023December 28, 2010 by Dan Carr

Fujifilm’s X100 was first revealed at Photokina in 2010 and it’s retro styling instantly captured peoples attention. The X100 has yet to hit store shelves but Fujifilm has been slowly releasing more and more information about this camera to tantalize prospective buyers. Sadly this is a hands-off preview, I have not yet used one of these cameras in person but since we still don’t know exactly when this camera will come onto the market I thought I’d write a little about what we already know of the camera. The important specifications: These are the main specs that get me pretty …
