Finally, Fujitsu's X series cameras, the X100s & X20 in the premium compact segment have come to India. While the X100S is a high-speed successor to the X100 with AF of 0.08 seconds, X20 inherits its high-precision lens and refined design, featuring performance over X10.
The X100S features Fujifilm's newly-developed 16.3 million pixels APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor with randomized, colour filter arrangement, making the sensor’s performance comparable to full-frame output. With built-in Phase Detection, the X100S offers the AF speed of just 0.08 seconds. The Hybrid AF can switch to Contrast AF, dependent on the demands of subject or scene, to ensure that the camera always auto-focusses quickly and with precision.
Making use of the in-built phase detection pixels for AF action, the X100S is a camera to offer a “Digital Split Image” feature, which displays dual images on the left and right to be lined up for manual focusing.

On the other hand, X20 is also packed full with Fujifilm's latest technology such as X-Trans CMOS II sensor, EXR Processor II and newly-developed Advanced Optical Viewfinder with real- time shooting data for a bright view. The X20 is available in both black and two-tone black and silver. The X20 features the newly-developed 12 million pixels 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II sensor. The sensor's sensitivity is coupled with the processor's signal processing capacity to reduce noise.

Rohit Pandit, EVP - Sales & Marketing, Fujifilm India, says, “I am delighted that X100S and X20 are now available in India to the professional and high-end amateur photographers who want to achieve premium quality images with the comfort of a compact camera. Also, from the technology point of view, one of the best features in these cameras is the Hybrid Autofocus (Phase Detection along with Contrast Detection) which helps in achieving the world’s fastest autofocus.”
