Fujifilm X100F camera becomes official with 24.3MP sensor
Fujifilm has unveiled the X100F camera which is the fourth generation of its popular enthusiast-focused compact series.
The successor to the X100T has many new features and upgrades. It comes with a 24.3MP X-Trans III APS-C sensor and X-Processor Pro image processor borrowed from the X-T2.
Although the X100 series is very popular with photographers, the AF systems of previous models were one of the most critically acclaimed features. With the X100F, the number of autofocus points has been increased from 49 to 91 and fastest AF acquisition time improved to 0.08 seconds. Fuji claims faster overall performance for the premium-compact, quoting a startup time of 0.5 sec and 0.2 sec shutter release.
Good news that the X100F has AF joystick and the shutter speed dial has been modified to include ISO controls. A front control dial has also been added.
The Fujifilm X100F will be available February 16th in black or silver for $1299/£1249.
