During CES 2016, Fujifilm has revealed not one but four new models for camera enthusiasts – a point and shoot FinePix XP90, the premium X-Pro 2, and two mid-range cameras X-E2S and X70. All four models will be available in February (Malaysia still unknown though), prices are listed below.
The FinePix XP90 is designed to be flexible for a photo taking adventure, it's waterproof (50ft), shockproof (6ft), freezeproof (-10 celcius) and dustproof. It features 16.4-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, 5x optical zoom and 28mm wide-angle lens. The LCD is 3-inch wide and can also capture 1080p footage at up to 60 fps, as well as 480 fps slow-motion videos and 360-degree panorama pictures. The price tag is $230 (around RM1011).
Next, the X-Pro2 is a high-end camera for professional photographers. The X-Pro2 sports a 24.3-megapixel X-trans CMOS III sensor and new X-Processor Pro imaging chip, up to 8 fps continuous shooting, an extended ISO of 51,200 and a weather-resistant aluminum body, and an Advanced Hybrid Multi Viewfinder on a 3-inch, 1.62 million dot LCD. There's no 4K video recording option for it though, at most it's only 1080p at 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps. Dual memory card slots are present as well, and the body cost $1700 (around RM7473).
If the above are too expensive, then maybe the mid-range cameras can do. The X-E2S and X70 http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/14/fujifilm-x-e2s-x70/ are made for people who are just getting started with the art of photography. First, the X-E2S, packs a 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor, alongside a newly developed 49-point autofocus system and a max ISO range of up to 51,200. Like the X-Pro2, there's no 4K video recording option too and only 1080p at 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps.
As for the X70, its AF system and ISO sensitivity is the same as the X-E2S, but it has a pop-up flash and command dials. What's more, it also has a rotating (180 degrees) touchscreen, the first camera to have one from the X-Series line.
For body-only, both cost $700 (around RM3077) and an option to buy $1000 (around RM4396) for the X-E2S bundle which includes a Fujinon XF 18-55mm, f/2.4-4 R LM optical image stabilization lens.
We will let you photographers know if these four are coming to Malaysia or not, so stay tuned.
