Fujifilm announced its X-Pro 1 at CES, its new interchangeable lens camera that follows in the same retro vein as its popular X100 and X10. While we were given a thorough introduction to the camera in all its hybrid viewfinder glory, pricing and release dates were still a little iffy. Today, Fujifilm has announced that the latest addition to its X-series will cost $1,700 (body only) and be available at the end of February. Fujifilm also launched… Read More

It goes without saying that it's impossible to see everything at CES — the products are too many and the days too short. Fortunately for us, we were able to get our hands on a number of new cameras that will be available in the coming months. Manufacturers are showing off high-speed and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as even taking steps into thus far untouched territory with sensor technology. Get up to speed — and start saving… Read More

Today, we went hands-on with the much-anticipated Fujifilm X-Pro 1. And luckily, the camera isn't just an X100, plus an interchangeable lens system. In fact, Fujifilm has used the X-Pro 1 has an opportunity to address X100 (and to some degree, X10) complaints and improve on the device–which, of course, comes at a steep price in the form of some serious sticker shock.  To give you an idea, the X-Pro 1 is definitely larger than the… Read More

In yet another unsurprising announcement today, Fujifilm took the wraps off its already-leaked X-Pro 1. Last week, specs and images surfaced, showing off the brand's first ICS system camera in all its glory. Now, we've got word from Fujifilm itself.   Following up the success of its fixed-lens, high-end X-series comes the X-Pro 1. The X100 and X10 seemingly defied category, and were hybrid, hobbyist combinations of the increasingly… Read More

In addition to unwittingly leaking the Canon G1X, Wells Fargo’s advisor notes (screenshot via PetaPixel) also inadvertently revealed the Fujifilm X-Pro1. Fujifilm has already announced a few of its new cameras that we will get a chance to go hands-on with at CES, but a compact ICL system release was noticeably absent from the additions. The camera maker has long been rumored to be working on filling this void, and we’ve already seen leaked… Read More

Just prior to CES, Fujifilm is announcing a whole slew of new cameras. And before you get too excited, we’ll kill your buzz right now: no, this will not include a mirrorless/micro-four-thirds device. Hopefully we haven’t lost your attention because Fujifilm will be revealing some impressive new cameras—including a new member of its well-loved X-series family. Read on for a first look.  Fuijfilm X-S1 Right off the bat, it needs to be said that… Read More

Camera and medical equipment maker Olympus is still reeling from revelations that its leadership had been engaged in financial wrongdoing since the 1990s to hide losses, and recently wiped out 70 percent of its net assets by restating its last five years of earnings. As the company works to restore investor confidence—and hopefully investor cash flow—the company is apparently considering a move that would see recomposing its board… Read More

Speculation over a sale is only the latest chapter of the Olympus financial scandal saga. The company has been struggling to keep its stock listed while determining what to do with its sullied board, and more importantly what to do about the $1.1 billion missing from its balance sheet. And when a company is having money and image problems, acquisition almost immediately comes to mind. While initially smaller firms seemed interested in the… Read More

We recently reported that various signs (including some revealing leaked photos) point toward a mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera from Fujifilm in our near future. Rumor has it the device, while sharing various similarities with its MFT brethren from Olympus, Sony, Panasonic, and Nikon, will actually sport an APS-CMOS sized sensor. That sets it considerably apart from this competition (with the exception of the Sony NEX-7, which has a… Read More

We recently introduced you to the Fujifilm FinePixX10, the upcoming addition to its infant X-series. The X100 was an inspiring, retro-throwback that created something of a frenzy. The X10 is the follow-up with similar retro styling and simplified interior hardware. The ever-so-slightly downgraded specs and bumped up ease-of-use factor led us to assume the X10 would cost less than its predecessor, which was a gut-busting $1,300. As luck would… Read More

Last week, Fujifilm announced the X10, its new entry to the X-series and first camera to follow the infamous X100. Given the splash its predecessor made and cult-like following its inspired, we knew there were bound to be plenty of questions about the X10. Fujifilm passed along a few answers to some of the initial queries about its new throw-back digital camera – and now we’re sharing them with you. Q: Is there a neutral density filter built-in?… Read More

Fujifilm’s FinePix X100 made waves in the photography community this year, becoming something of a legend before its release. The very retro camera has been the subject of both contempt and adoration, but it’s nothing if not innovative. As it turns out, the X100 was only an introduction to the X series, and now Fujifilm has released details about its newest addition to the lineup. The X10 is the X100’s follow up, and Fujifilm tells us the new… Read More

It's been a while since camera makers have introduced significant new features that appeal directly to consumers—sure, there was red-eye reduction, face detection, smile detection, and panoramas, but most new features in point-and-shoot cameras are more evolutionary than revolutionary. So it's nice to see Fujifilm continuing to think outside the box with its new FinePix F600 EXR—it's a slim 16-megapixel… Read More

Fujifilm has rolled out its latest high-end compact point-and-shoot camera in the form of the FinePix Z900 EXR, featuring a large 3.5-inch multitouch-capable LCD display, a 16 megapixel resolution, a 5× optical zoom, a variety of scene modes, and—what perhaps may be its most advanced feature—a backside-illuminated sensor that substantially improves shooting images and video in low-light conditions. And even with all the bells… Read More
