Photo Expert Mason Resnick Takes Industry’s “First Look” at the new FUJIFILM X-E2 and X-Q1
Adorama Learning Center’s Mason Resnick, a technology and photo industry expert, is one of the first to review one of the FUJIFILM X-E2 and X-Q1 early models. An excerpt from Mason’s “First Look” review: “Topping the list of features is the sensor. Still recording 16MP images, FUJIFILM has added a Lens Modulation Optimizer, which is said to improve image quality, and a CMOS II sensor that the company claims has the world's fastest phase detection autofocus. A souped up EXR Processor II improves start-up, interval and continuous shooting performance, while additional functions include advanced filters, focus peaking, face detection and digital split manual focus. Set to be available by mid-November, the X-E1 will cost $999 for the body at Adorama.” The rest of Mason’s “First Look, FUJIFILM X-E2 and X-Q1 Cameras” article can be read at http://www.adorama.com/alc/0014345/blogarticle/Fujfilm-X-E2-X-Q1-First-Look.
