Fuji officially announces X-E1 with full specification

Fuji has officially announced their next model, X-E1.

On paper, the specification looks very good:

• 16.3 million effective pixels APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor
• EXR image processor PRO
• FUJIFILM X mount (for Fujinon XF Series Lens)
• Ultra-high resolution 23.6 megapixel organic EL viewfinder
• 2.8 inch (460,000 pixels) LCD display (high contrast, high brightness and wide viewing angle)
• Built-in pop-up flash (with hot shoe, which can be accessed outside the flash)
• ISO 200 – 6400, expandable to ISO 100, 12800,25600 (ISO Auto is available ranges from ISO400-6400)
• 0.05 seconds shutter lag
• Q (quick) button Quick menu settings
• Built-in RAW conversion
• Film simulation mode (Velvia, Astia, Provia, Monochrome, Sepia, PRO Neg Std & PRO Neg Hi)
• Creative shooting functions include multiple exposure and panorama mode
• Auto Bracketing (AE / ISO / DR & FS)
• Full HD camera function
• Microphone / shutter line interface (Φ2.5mm)
• Single charge can take about 350 photos

With the same sensor used by , the X-E1 promises excellent image quality. Although not proven, the new EVF built into E-X1 also looks good on paper. The real question remaining is, how fast will be focus? (A big weakness on ). Also how responsive will it be as a whole?
