Camera enthusiasts in the kingdom are
snapping up the latest development from Fujifilm, the fourth premium camera
from the X-Series.
The X-S1 is the brand’s new flagship
super-zoom model and its makers say it sets new standards in design and
performance and represents a new breed of bridge cameras.
Built in Japan, the body has high-quality
metal dials and a rubberised coating. Fitted with a manually operated 26x
optical zoom that offers between 24mm and 624mm (in 35mm terms) the X-S1 also
benefits from lens-based Image Stabilisation technology and a generous range of
exposure modes, including three EXR-specific modes that are able to take
advantage of the sensor’s unique pixel arrangement.
Add to this 1080p Full HD movie recording
at 30fps, solid build quality and a high-resolution 1.14m pixel electronic
viewfinder.
Keitaro So, general manager, Fujifilm
Electronics Imaging Division, MENA, said: “The super zoom capability is the
unique feature in this camera which I feel photographers will be most
interested in.”
