Fujifilm Philippines held an intimate launch event yesterday at the Podium in Ortigas, where they showcased the new X-T100, a small and light, yet feature-packed mirrorless camera that’s aimed at those who are starting to get into photography, and those who are into vlogging as well.
The X-T100 boasts a number of nifty features – such as a three-way tilting LCD monitor, a high magnification (0.62x) electronic viewfinder, and a powerful battery that’s capable of 430 frames per charge.
The camera only weighs 448 grams, and makes use of a retro-feel design with an anodized aluminium top cover. Under the hood is a 24.2MP APS-C size sensor that’s 14 times bigger than those found on an average smartphone. It offers various options for connectivity, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and is also compatible with the Instax SP-3 printer.
Combining its Phase Detection Autofocus System combined with a new algorithm, the X-T100 can focus on subjects faster and more precise. It offers 11 variations of Fujifilm’s unique Film Simulation Modes, and 17 variations of Advanced Filters. Setting adjustments can easily be done either through a number of function dials, or by using the rear touch LCD Monitor.
For advanced users, the X-T100 is also compatible with Fujifilm’s award-winning range of X-Mount lenses, including the small and light electronic zoom lens, the XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ.
Here are some sample shots from the launch event, all taken using the X-T100:
