Fujifilm has just announced the X-Pro1 at CES. It’s a beautiful, timeless-looking mirrorless camera, that features a 16 megapixel X-Trans CMOS sensor. It’s expected to retail at a hefty $1700 for the body and $650 for the lenses.
The camera features a completely new color filter array that paves the way for an ideal sensor, and removes the need for low-pass filters usually found in medium format cameras.
If you’re a novice to this sort of technology, all you have to know is that this is an MILC. Traditionally, compact digital cameras always feature a fixed lens, but MILC cameras like the X-Pro1 take the best features from DSLRs and merge them with the convenience of compact digitals.
The X-Pro1 will come with Fujifilm’s Hybrid Multi Viewfinder (first introduced in the X100), which allows for both a digital and optical viewfinder. The camera is also capable of recording 1080P video and has a 3 inch LCD monitor.
