It's not really a secret that Fuji is using sensors from Sony (X100, X100S, X-Pro1, X-E1, X-M1, X-A1) and Toshiba (X10, X20, XF1, X-S1) for their X series offerings. The Toshiba sensor is a...

I have uploaded a bunch of image samples to Flickr, including several RAWs processed with the new Lightroom 5.2 which already supports the X-A1. Here's a link to the set:...

I have added several portrait shots taken with the 27mm pancake and the new kit zoom. For most of the shots, I used the new face detection option which seems to work just fine. Click here for the...

Yep, 14 minutes and no motion panorama. There are several points and details that are different from the X-E1, both positive and negative.

It's definitely not like an X-Pro1 or DPx Merrill, but cheap? Not really. OTOH, some people tend to have strong feelings about material and weight (or aperture rings), but it's pretty clear that...

Yep, it's all some kind of plastic on the outside, camera and the new lenses (except for the focus ring of the Pancake which is metal). For me, the important experience today way that the combos...

Thanks, I have found plenty of stuff and details that haven't been mentioned anywhere. I'll also try to take some outdoor portrait shots tomorrow.

I shot a bunch of SOOC JPEG samples with the X-M1 and the new lenses earlier today.

I shot a few samples with the X-M1 and the new lenses earlier today: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25805910@N05/sets/72157634347959980/

I went out for two hours and shot a few samples with the X-M1 and the two new lenses: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25805910@N05/sets/72157634347959980/

Wow, lens flare when it's overcast and raining...

Here are a few direct comparison shots.

I added a few SOOC JPEGs from a production lens to my prototype lens set on Flickr.

A few samples, mostly SOOC JPEGs, all in full resolution: click here . Here are a few direct comparison shots between the Touits and their Fujinon counerparts.

A few 32mm samples, mostly SOOC JPEGs, all in 100% full resolution.

Where are the Dynamic Range charts?

It's pretty useless to pixel peep with unfinished prototype lenses, as the results (good or bad) will certainly differ from production lenses. I need to get my hands on at least a pre-production...

Andy, the kit zoom is F2.8-4, not F2.8-4.5 like you state in the article. ;)

Hi Coguar, my preview contains plenty of samples: http://www.fujirumors.com/first-look-xf55-200mmf3-5-4-8-r-lm-ois/

I also put larger versions of 30 samples on Flickr:...

Nice writeup! As usual, Andy seems to see things very much like I do.

I was actually able to test the prototype lens with a pre-release copy of the new firmware, here's my article including many...
