Fuji's New X-S1 Packs High Quality Guts into a Superzoom Body
Behold Fuji's brand new X-S1, cousin to the sublime, retro-

optical zoom on the X-S1 means it's probably capable of some

with a 2/3-inch 12 MP EXR-CMOS sensor with a high-speed EXR
processor (likely same as the X10), a new FUJINON lens with
aperture from f/2.8-f/5.6 and 26x optical zoom (24-624mm) with
digital zoom to 52x. It's got a 3" LCD with 460k dots and a
1.4-million-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF); switching between
the two of them is handled with a heads up eye sensor, which
detects when you shove your face up against the camera to switch
to the EVF. The X-S1 can shoot 7fps at full resolution and full
1080p video at 30fps (h.264 compression). It also shoots in RAW,
has a mini-HDMI out port, and its Li-ion battery gets about 500
