NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 19, 2017) - B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of the Fujifilm X100F Digital Camera, the X-T20 Mirrorless Digital Camera, and XF 50mm f/2 R WR Lens, excellent additions to its respected X Series.
Leading the pack is the X100F, a compact point-and-shoot that manages to feature an APS-C sensor and Fujifilm's Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder, which now features magnification of the electronic rangefinder function. A popular choice for those looking for a top-end pocket camera, the X100F gains a newly-developed 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor with no low-pass filter, which pairs with the 23mm f/2 lens to create a 35mm-equivalent focal length. A revamped AF system features 91 points, and can be segmented into a total of 325 points with the center 40% of the imaging area using 49 phase-detect points for improved speed.

In terms of physical changes, a new joystick is available on the rear of the camera for controlling the AF point, and an ISO dial is built into the shutter speed dial. A C position is placed on the exposure compensation dial as well, and the rear of the camera moves all controls and buttons to the right side of the camera for improved one-handed operation. It is available in black or silver, along with the new WCL-X100 II Wide Conversion Lens (28mm equivalent), TCL-X100 II Tele Conversion Lens (50mm equivalent), and an optional black or brown LC-100F Leather Case.
Filling the mid-range position of the popular X-Series mirrorless lineup is the upgraded X-T20, which is now equipped with a 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III APS-C sensor and the X-Processor Pro engine. The new sensor forgoes the use of a low-pass filter for maximum sharpness. The new system provides enhanced speed and power, including a reworked AF algorithm, and the ability to record 4K video with Film Simulation modes, including ACROS. Proof of the improved speed is an updated startup time of 0.4 seconds, shutter lag of 0.05 second, and a shooting interval of 0.25 seconds. It also supports 5 fps continuous shooting in live view.
