Abstract: Some companies plod along, slowly incrementing the marketing bullet points with new models. These are usually the ones that have turf to protect and market share to hold onto. Other companies, hungry for position, and without entrenched products to protect are more willing to innovate...
Abstract: One of the fastest growing segments of the digital camera market is the smaller bodied interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras that have been released by many manufacturers in the last 12 or so months. Filling the gap between DSLRs and compact point a...

Abstract: Following the huge success of their X100, Fujifilm entered the interchangeable lens compact field with the X-Pro1. The camera maintains the commitment of the company to the exciting and highly functional Hybrid Multi Viewfinder that allows a choice be...
Abstract: Fujifilm X-Pro1 Hands-on Preview January 2012 | Andy Westlake When Fujifilm announced its FinePix X100 retro-styled large-sensor compact at Photokina 2010, it captured the imagination of serious photographers in a way the company seemed not to have qu...
