Fujifilm launched X-M1, the third premium interchangeable-lens camera from the acclaimed X-Series. Compact and lightweight, the X-M1 offers enhanced operability while bringing the outstanding design, picture quality and performance of the multiple award-winning X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras. The new XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS zoom lens is being launched with the X-M1 as a kit lens and is designed to complement the camera perfectly.
Speaking at the launch Keitaro So, General Manager, Fujifilm Electronics Imaging Division, MENA, said, “The X-M1 will attract a broader range of users than the enthusiast photographers targeted by the X-E1 and is our most compact Mirrorless camera to date offering excellent image quality. The new XC Lens accompanies the X-M1 and is ideal for landscape and travel photography while its versatile performance makes it a great choice for shooting special occasions indoors and outdoors as well.”
