Photography News: Fujifilm Expands Their X-Series Mirrorless Camera Line With the X-Pro2, X-E2S and X70, and the XF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens, and Adds the Rugged XP90 to Their FinePix Camera Line


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 14, 2016) - B&H Photo is pleased to share the announcement of an array of new products from Fujifilm, which both update and add to the existing X-Series lineup. Headlining the release is Fujifilm's flagship -- the X-Pro2, featuring a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III Sensor, the just-released X-Processor Pro, and the world's first 2.36m-dot Advanced Hybrid Multi Viewfinder. This advanced hybrid viewfinder has also been improved with built-in diopter correction, allowing eyeglass wearers to adjust viewfinder magnification to their specific needs. A new autofocus system -- featuring 273 AF points, of which 77 are phase detection -- has been added, promising faster and more accurate focusing on both still and moving subjects. The magnesium alloy chassis has also been improved with 61 points of dust and splash-resistant weather sealing, and freeze resistance to 14°F. Additional notable features include a 3" 1.62m-dot rear LCD, dual SD card slots, improved 1080p HD video recording, and the inclusion of a new ACROS film simulation mode. The native ISO range of the Fuji X-Pro2 is 100-12800, but can be expanded to 51200. New wireless control is also available via two new smartphone apps -- one allowing the user to trigger the camera remotely; the other allows the transfer of photos to a Fujifilm INSTAX Share Printer.
