Fujifilm X-E2 Camera - Black (16.MP, CMOS II Sensor)

Product Description Building on the global success of the highly acclaimed FUJIFILM X-E1 – awarded 2013's Best Expert CSC by the Technical Image Press Association – the X-E2 takes image quality to a dynamic new level that is comparable with full-frame cameras. It delivers even more beautiful colour reproduction, higher definition image capture, and the world's fastest AF speed of 0.08 seconds**. Available in retro cool 2-tone silver and classic black. X-E2 Exceptional design and features The X-E2's brilliant shutter speed is achieved by more than doubling the processing speed*** of the EXR Processor II. It is able to harness the information taken from over 100,000 phase detection pixels incorporated in the X-Trans CMOS II. The hybrid AF also combines phase detection AF and contrast AF to ensure accuracy when shooting low-contrast subjects and dark scenes. The X-E2's 16.3 Megapixel APS-C sized X-Trans CMOS II Sensor incorporates an original colour filter array. This eliminates the need for an optical low pass filter that typically minimises moiré but does so at the expense of resolution. Instead, the X-Trans CMOS II sensor can capture unfiltered light from the lens for an unprecedented level of image clarity. Quality is further improved by the Lens Modulation Optimiser (LMO). Its high-precision processing of the various lens parameters as well as data from the screen centre to the edges, corrects diffraction blur when shooting with a stopped down aperture and compensates for the slight blurring in the lens periphery. The result is edge-to-edge image quality with incredible sharpness. LMO is compatible with every XF lens. The X-E2's prestigious feel continues with the combination of aperture ring on the lens and shutter dial on the top of the body as seen in its predecessor, allowing full shooting control while keeping your eye to the viewfinder. It allows the user to shoot and operate the camera without needing to look away from the viewfinder. Exposure compensation has been increased to the scope of ±3. Every X-E2 owner can also customise up to 4 buttons on the top and back of the camera to suit their own shooting style. The premium clear LCD monitor size has been increased to 3.0-inches but the body is thinner. It has a high viewing angle and 1.04 million dot reinforced glass. The scratch-resistant surface reduces reflections and improves visibility, making it easier to check image quality. X-E2 sample image view larger. Fast and accurate focusing means you'll never miss a moment Thanks to the X-E2's ultra-fast response you won't miss a single photo opportunity. In addition to achieving a world's fastest AF, the X-E2 has a rapid start up time (0.5 seconds****), virtually no shutter lag (0.05 seconds), and high-speed continuous shooting of 7.0 frames per second (up to 28 frames) *****. Accurate and comfortable focusing comes courtesy of the hybrid AF. It combines a contrast AF that is strong in low light situations and a phase detection AF that's superb for capturing moving objects. With the improvement of the detection algorithm, it's easier than ever to focus on difficult low contrast subjects and horizontal striped patterns. The camera automatically switches between the two AF modes and focusing continues right up to the moment the shutter is pressed during continuous AF. Prestigious sensor delivers brilliant image quality Using the same X-Trans CMOS II sensor as the critically acclaimed X100S, the brilliant sensor technology controls moiré and false colour generation. By using an original colour filter array with a highly randomised pixel arrangement, the need for an Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF), known to degrade resolution, won't be necessary. Image quality is further increased by the inclusion of the first Lens Modulation Optimiser for interchangeable lens cameras. The EXR Processor II image engine corrects even slight blur at the edges of the lens, as well as diffraction blur caused when narrowing the aperture. This great camera is able to maximise the resolving and individual imaging power of each lens. Ultimately, the sensor and engine combination achieves astonishing resolution, extends dynamic range, and reduces noise at high sensitivity levels. X-E2 Focus Manual focus made easier with Digital Split Image Technology****** The user can achieve pin-sharp focusing by simply adjusting focus to line up the four stripes displayed in the central part of the live view and match the left and right split images. Focus Peak Highlight - the highlighting of the outline in high contrast areas of the subject during focusing – enables the user to achieve critically sharp shots. Improved movie performance The X-E2 shoots Full HD video up to 60fps (1920x1080) and the AF tracking performance in movie mode has been improved with good focusing speed, accuracy and smoothness. Quick tracking of the subject is possible in a variety of situations, such as when panning and zooming, or when the subject moves closer to o
