Official: Fujifilm FinePix X100s

The sensor is completely new – based on X-Trans CMOS II along with an updated processor. Does this mean the X100s will produce better images than X-Pro 1 and X-E1? Could this indicate the future of what’s expected of X-Pro 2 and X-E2?  It will be very interesting to see how this turns out. The EVF has been improved as well, bumped up to 2.36MP – about 1MP improvement over the X100. The LCD still uses the same old version used by X100which means it will be outdated even at the initial launch time. The X-Trans CMOS II sensor apparently also embeds phase detection pixels. It will be interesting to see if this turns into any meaningful improvements in auto-focus performances.

The lens appears to be identical to that of X100.
