While The X-PRO2 has grabbed the main headlines, Fujifilm has re-issued its enthusiast-level RF-style mirrorless, now designated the XE-2s.
The revised model has an upgraded autofocusing system – now with 77 points in the continuous Wide/Tracking mode – and a sensor-based shutter which allows for a top speed of 1/32,000 second and enables a silent shooting mode. As before, autofocusing is via a hybrid phase-difference/contrast detection system. The sensitivity range now extends an extra stop to the equivalent of ISO 51,200.
The Classic Chrome preset is added to the choice of ‘Film Simulation’ modes. The good news for owners of the X-E2 is that quite a number of these new features will be available via a firmware upgrade which is due later in the year. Externally, the new X-E2s has a reshaped handgrip and a new graphic user interface similar to the one introduced with the X-Pro2. Retained from the previous model is the OLED-type EVF with a resolution of 2.36 megadots, the 16.7 megapixels ‘X-Trans CMOS II’ sensor, fixed LCD monitor screen with a resolution of 1.04 megadots, maximum continuous shooting speed of 7.0 fps and built-in WiFi module.
The Fujifilm X-E2s is priced at $1399 with the Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8-4.0 R LM OIS zoom. Local availability is from March.
