Smile Retro look compact with CMOS sensor!

Wow, the exciting stuff from Photokina is already starting to trickle through...

Check out this retro-look digital compact from Fujifilm that comes complete with an APS-C sized CMOS sensor tucked away in its little body! Also equipped with a fixed-length lens, revolutionary hybrid viewfinder and a newly developed processor.



You can find out more info, including specs here: Fujifilm X100 specs and release date

What do you think?

Keep an eye on the news section of the site this week as there will be lots (and lots) more releases due soon I expect...

Oooh looks nice - shame about the price tag - estimated at u$1400, so that'll be well over £1000. Roughly twice as much as I'd pay for it. Pity.

I like the idea of walking around with it - looking like you've had it for years - gives a certain 'cred' that most modern p&s cameras don't have. It took a while to discover (from the Fuji website) that it's 12.3Mp, so, with good electronics, that's not going to be too crowded on an APS-C. Way too expensive, though.

I'll be fascinated to see how many of these they sell. Personally, I'm a big fan of rangefinders, but I wouldn't trade in my Yashica Electro GSN and Ilford Delta for one...
