A retro-designed camera that will make taking selfies a whole lot more fun (and easy!), the all new Fujifilm X-A3 mirrorless camera features a large touchscreen 180-degree tilt LCD, 11 film simulation modes and 10 advanced filters. The much-anticipated release also includes a new weather and dust-resistant wide-angle lens, the XF 23mm F/2, for a nice compact camera that will be easy to take anywhere.
The new FUJIFILM X-A3 Kit (with XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS II) will be available in October 2016 in the U.S. for USD $599. It will be available in Silver, Brown, and Pink.
The X-A3 features a newly-developed 24.2MP APS-C sensor that produces crisp images in a wide range of shooting conditions, and excels in naturally reproducing skin tones, textures and colors.
The normal sensitivity range covers ISO200 to ISO6400, while extended sensitivity settings of ISO12800 and even ISO25600 can be selected when you want to minimize camera shake. The X-A3 produces clear images with astonishingly low noise, even on low-light nightscapes and indoor shots where high ISOs are essential.
For those looking to get creative, some of the camera’s available filters include Fisheye, Cross Screen and Pop Color, amongst others.
The new compact, lightweight and stylish XF23mmF2 R WR is part of Fujifilms high-performance X Series lenses. The lens features premium quality build is an ideal choice for outdoor photogrpahy as it operates at temperatures as low as 14F/-10C. Similar in size and design to the existing XF35mmF2, the inner-focus AF system of the newer lens uses a stepping motor to drive lightweight focusing elements for silent and fast autofocus.
The FUJINON XF23mmF2 R WR will be available in September 2016 for USD $449. It will initially be available in Black only.
