Fujifilm has introduced its budget-friendly X-A5 Digital Camera Body with XC15-45mm Lens Kit which is the lightest camera-zoom lens combination within the X Series lineup.
The follow-up to the X-A3 with a host of new and improved features, the X-A5 kit debuts the new FUJINON XC 15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ, the first electric powered zoom lens for X Mount digital cameras.
The X-A5 features a powerful 24.2MP APS-C sensor equipped with phase detection autofocus. The sensor uses the traditional Bayer color filter, rather than X-Trans. The updated processor on the X-A5 is 1.5x times faster, according to Fujifilm, and its phase-detect AF system should do a better job with subject tracking.
The X-A5 features a variety of 4K video capabilities. Utilizing the Burst Function, users are able to shoot 15 frames per second in 4K image quality. A jack for an external microphone has also been added.
The new FUJIFILM X-A5 Camera Kit will be available on February 8, 2018 in the U.S. and Canada for USD $599. The new standalone XC 15-45mmF3.5- 5.6 OIS PZ Lens will be available on March 15, 2018 in the U.S. and Canada for USD $299.95. Color choices include silver & black, silver & brown and silver & pink.
