    In celebration of Fujifilm’s X line of cameras’ fifth year and success in the industry, the brand has introduced two new superior cameras in the Philippines ahead of its Japan launch. On January 21, 2016, the much-awaited Fujifilm X-Pro2 and X70 debuted with a bang and left a good impression among the media, photography enthusiasts, and patrons of the brand.

    Fujifilm X-Pro2

    The latest iteration of Fujifilm’s highly-regarded X-Pro interchangeable mirrorless camera series shares the same vintage look of its predecessor and is paired with new features that’s set to challenge the game. Carrying Fujifilm’s over 80 years of tried and tested camera technology, the X-Pro2, though small and compact, is ideal for professional photographers. It boasts the world’s only Hybrid Multi Viewfinder, making use of both electronic viewfinder and optical viewfinder in one user- and travel-friendly device. This combination allows you to switch between optical and electronic options with a single lever. Meanwhile, the new electronic rangefinder feature simultaneously displays the EVF as a small window in the optical viewfinder.

    Also included in the impressive spec sheet of the X-Pro2 are a 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor and high-performance X Processor Pro image processing engine that, in practice, promises to deliver stunning images with a perceived resolution greater than the actual number of pixels used.  Add to that, this camera is also built with tough magnesium alloy and is tightly sealed in its 61 points, making it dust- and splash-proof. It is also capable of operating in temperatures as low as 10°C. Another surprise added to the loot is another SD card slot. Yes, you read that right. The X-Pro2 has dual-SD card slots so you take pictures to your heart’s content without having to worry about lack of storage space. If you are still not convinced of this camera’s many abilities, we don’t know what will.

    Fujifilm X70

    For those who prefer a lighter and more compact camera, the Fujifilm X70 is for you. The first X-Series model to offer a touchscreen display that rotates up to 180 degrees, X70 users can shoot from various angles with ease. It also comes with a Fujinon 18.5mm F2.8 lens, which is perfect for group shots and capturing breathtaking landscapes. The X70 tips the scales at 340g and is the lightest X-Series camera with an APS-C sized sensor. A well-designed milled aluminum exposure compensation and shutter speed dials allows the user easy access to key features, Meanwhile, aperture and focusing rings are made from the same material to keep the camera’s weight on the low.

The on sensor phase detection AF works ultra-fast at 0.1 second and the high-speed proprietary EXR Processor II image processor makes for a quick start up.
