www.photographyworlds.comThe Fujifilm X100S has been one of the most popular cameras among enthusiast photographers. Its 12-million-pixel, APS- C-sized sensor and 23mm f/2 lens produce superb images, and now its successor, the X100S, is here, with some significant new features – more than 70, in fact.
Fujifilm X100S New Features Fujifilm X100S Come with New Sensor The biggest improvement is the new 16.3-million-pixel, APS-C-sized (23.6×15.6mm) X-Trans sensor. This is the same sensor as that used in the Fujifilm X-Prol compact system camera. By using a different arrangement of coloured filters over the photosites, the X-Trans sensor doesn’t require an anti-aliasing filter, and we have found in previous tests that images resolve far more detail than one would typically expect from a 16-million-pixel sensor. Amazing New Processor in Fujifilm X100S Further changes include the use of the new Fujifilm EXR Processor II. This speeds up the XIOOS in a number of ways. Start-up time has improved from 2secs in the X100 to 0.5secs in the X100, while continuous shooting is also faster at 6fps – 1fps faster than the X100. The improved speed will benefit those who wish to use the X100S for street photography, although I think the start-up time could be improved further. Phase Detection Focusing Improves in X100S

Unlike its predecessor, the X1OOS uses on-sensor phase-detection autofocus. Some of the green photosites on the sensor are used to judge the phase detection, but unlike some other cameras with on-sensor phase detection, these photosites are still used in the final image. Therefore, the system’s use does not adversely affect the resolution. Fuji claims that the phase-detection focusing improves the AF speed from 0.22secs in the X100 to 0.08secs in the X1OOS. If it is as fast as promised, it will be very fast indeed. Split Image Manual Focusing One of the most interesting features enabled by the phase-detection AF system is split-image manual focusing. This looks very similar to manual focusing using an SLR with a split prism. The split-image is displayed through the electronic viewfinder, and focus can be achieved quickly and accurately by manually adjusting the focus of the lens until a complete image is formed. The feature will really appeal to enthusiast photographers and give the XIOOS even more of a dassic-camera feel. Focus peaking is also included, which adds a slight glow to any edges within the frame that are in focus. Whether or not these features improve the speed of manual focusing will be considered when we conduct our full test of the camera. Hybrid Optical and Electronic Viewfinder Like its predecessor, the X100S has a hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder, although the electronic element is now the same 2.35-million-dot unit as found in the firm’s X-E1 compact system camera. And the viewfinder to be very detailed and it was quite easy to forget that one is looking at an electronic image. While its name may suggest a mere upgrade of the X100, there is a lot more to the X1OOS. The build and handling remain largely the same, but the new X-Trans sensor, phase-detection AF and manual focusing aides all look like exciting new features that could really launch the camera to the top of its field. I can’t wait to get a final version for testing
