Fujifilm has announced the X-E1 – its second mirrorless interchangeable lens camera – along with two additional XF-mount lenses. The X-E1 uses the same 16MP ‘X-Trans’ APS-C sensor as the more expensive X-Pro 1 model. It offers a high-resolution 2.4m dot OLED electronic viewfinder in the place of the Pro1’s opto-electronic hybrid finder and gains a pop-up flash in a smaller body. Alongside the X-E1 come a 18-55mm F2.8-4 stabilized kit zoom that promises AF times as fast as 0.1 seconds when the two are used together.
