Fujifilm has announced the release of its smallest and lightest X-series model with an APS-C size sensor, the X-70.
This new fixed-lens camera features a new Fujinon 18.5mm F2.8 lens (28mm equivalent in 35mm format) and is the first X-series model to offer a touchscreen display that rotates 180 degrees.
The X70 is similar to the X100T but is equipped with a wider lens on a smaller thinner body.
Camera weight is 340 grams including battery and memory card.
Apertures can be changed in 1/3 or 1 stop increments, and the focusing ring doubles as a control ring for a range of functions.
The X70 also features: AF system with zone and wide/tracking modes for capturing moving subjects; 16.3 megapixel X-Trans CMOS II sensor; Auto Mode Switch for automatic shooting; eight customisable Fn buttons; Film Simulation modes; 3-inch monitor with 1.04 million dots, high ISO setting of 51,200 (during expanded sensitivity); Full HD video; built-in Wi-Fi.
The Fujifilm X70 will be available in February with a recommended retail price of $1149.
