Fuji rattle the sabre in the Professional
Digital Camera market (and pro-sumer too) with this blockbusting 6.13
megapixel (3040 x 2016 - oh yes) professional SLR with a D1-killing street
price of US$4,000. Kodak DCS560 / 660 anyone? Best of all that CCD is
HUGE.. 1.1" (APS size).
Vitals: 6.13 Megapixels, accepts
Nikon F-mount lenses, ISO: 320-1600, CF Type II & SmartMedia, Est.
Street Price: US$4000, on-sale: June, 2000 (Japan).
UPDATED: Impress PC Watch post
coverage of the Fujifilm Japan Launch of these cameras
UPDATED: Camera is based on Nikon
N60 / F60D
(so let me get this straight, Nikon are supplying Fuji with camera bodies
to build a digital camera which undercuts the D1... ummm) Even the N60
specifications read back to back.
Bullet points:
- 6.13 megapixel, 1.1" (APS sized) Fuji SuperCCD
(3040 x 2016)
- Accepts Nikon F-mount lenses (1.5x focal length multiplier)
supports AF, AI-P, IX cannot be used
- ISO range 320 - 1600
- Built-in Flash
- Burst rate: 1.5fps
- Storage: CompactFlash Type II, SmartMedia
(up to 64MB)
- Weight: 820g

We're proud to bring you a world exclusive. The first full review of FujiFilm's S1 Pro digital SLR. The first affordable digital SLR to market certainly grabbed the headlines when it was announced, since then there's been no end of talk about digital SLR's.

But how does it measure up?
We'll try to tell you.. In our 16 page, 10,000 word review with over 150 images in the review body and 50 photographs (including originals) in the associated samples galleries.
The Diana Instant Square is a retro-inspired camera with manual controls that's fun to shoot in good light, but largely unpredictable in its operation.
The EOS RP is Canon's latest full-frame mirrorless camera, with diminutive dimensions and a diminutive price. Find out how it stacks up and get our thoughts in our early review.
The Leica Q2 is a fixed-lens, full-frame camera sporting a new 47.3MP sensor and a sharp, stabilized 28mm F1.7 Summilux lens. It's styled like a traditional Leica M rangefinder and replaces the hugely popular original Leica Q (Typ 116), launched in 2015.
Fujifilm's GFX 50R takes the image quality from the existing 50S model and wraps it in a new body with new controls and a lower price of entry. Is that enough to tempt you to pick one up for yourself? Find out how the GFX 50R performs in our full review.
