Fujifilm announced its new X-E1 interchangeable lens digital camera. It is built upon the very successful X100 and X-Pro 1. It uses the same X-Pro1 Fujifilm’s X-Trans CMOS sensor and retro style of compact body design. A major component that is missing in the X-E1 is the hybrid viewfinder, instead it uses a brand new 2.36 million-pixel electronic viewfinder organic EL which has rich color gamut performance and ultra-high contrast ratio of up to 1:5000. Natural, bright, easy-to-view viewfinder has a viewing angle of 25 °, allowing users to quickly and easily complete the composition viewfinder.
Expect the X-E1 to be much more affordable than the X-Pro 1, get yours early, it will be a hit. Order yours at B&H, it comes in black and silver.
FUJIFILM X-E1 equipped with the same 16.3 million pixel APS-C size X-Trans CMOS sensor as the FUJIFILM X-Pro1. It is equipped with a high-speed, high-precision “EXR processor PRO” image processing engine, to bring you high-speed shooting responses. The acquisition of complex X-Trans CMOS sensor signal high-speed real-time image processing without any delay, to ensure that your next creation.
New tailor-made for the X-E1 Fujinon XF 18-55 F2.8-4 R LM OIS lens, only 0.1 seconds to bring you the ultra-high-speed focusing performance. The the XF18-55mm lens in the newly released high-end linear motor with CMOS sensor read-out of high-speed signals as well as the newly developed EXR image processor the Pro perfect combination to bring you the speed and accuracy of autofocus qualitative leap. Only 0.1 seconds, the fastest high-speed precise focus using contrast detection AF mode X-E1 will I bring.
Like other X-series cameras, the the turntable side on the top panel texture design, so that users have a more relaxed and smooth operation feel. You can adjust the aperture ring on the lens with the left hand with his right hand on the top panel to quickly and easily achieve adjust the shutter speed and exposure compensation, and in this process, you do not have the eye leave the viewfinder framing to diversify on the attention. You can also the shooting function definition to the Fn (Function) button, at any time convenient to call.
One of the many important design aspects of the Fuji X series cameras is its unique film simulation mode. X-E1 is equipped with Fujifilm’s unique Film Simulation mode, digital camera reproduction is similar to the traditional professional film is so unique color and flavor. Including the reproduction of nature bright colors, ultra-high saturation and prominent red and green tones of Velvia mode, reproduce the soft, fine, smooth skin tones ASTIA mode and more emphasis on natural color reproduction PROVIA mode. The new film simulation mode also includes two professional color negative effects, including shades more smooth PRO Neg.Std in and suitable for indoor portraits sharpness PRO Neg.Hi. Single-tone mode also has three types of filter effects and show nostalgic old photo style sepia mode. The film simulation bracketing function allows you to get three completely different film simulation effects in a single exposure at the same time.
In terms of video, not only can you shoot Full HD (1920X1080) 24fps speed movie, you can also be applied to the film simulation mode video shoot them, thanks to the large-size image sensor and the large aperture lens for X-E1, your movie will also have a very nice bokeh effect.
The new Fujifilm X-E1 not only packed with great features, but like the X-Pro 1, it has packed these features in a very classic retro interchangeable lens body. The X-E1 opted out the hybrid viewfinder and uses the new 2.36 million-pixel electronic viewfinder instead, so expect the price to be a lot more affordable.
