On the internet, the first pictures appeared of an ilc camera from Fujifilm, that the company may already be in december, just before the PMA-fotografiebeurs will introduce. The photos appear to have been made by a worker.
The leaked photos, originally posted on the Chinese forum Xitek and spotted by 43Rumors, show a compact system camera, which on the front side and the top is still trim missing. This is probably a model that is direct from the production line extracted is to take some pictures of it.
The camera, which is possible if LX model by the life will go, shows great similarities with the current Fujifilm X100, a aps-c sensor, a hybrid viewfinder and a fixed lens. The Fujifilm ilc, however, seems to be greater, though not with certainty determine which image sensor is used. The expectation is that the ilc from Fujifilm aps-c-size image sensor.
Except for the lensmount on the front and the slightly larger size, Fujifilm has also at the back made some changes. So is the d-pad is so adjusted that that is pleasant to operate, it seems that the X100 and the ring around it is gone. Further, it is the View Mode button to the top moved, just under the hot shoe, has the new camera a better grip for the thumb and the AE-/AF-L button to the right side moved. The slider for the af mode on the side of the X100 has the Fujifilm-ilc replaced by an adjustment wheel on the front.
The launch date and price is not yet known, but it is expected that Fujifilm the camera on the PMA-fotografiebeurs, which this year is part of the CES trade show in Las Vegas, will officially introduce. Fujifilm, the ilc will probably be of a higher retail price than the X100, and this would make the model more expensive than the NEX-7, Sony’s flagship model in the NEX-ilc-line.
