Camera Overview — Fujifilm X-S1

The Fujifilm X-S1 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 2/3-inch sensor powered by Fujifilm's EXR Processor. It delivers a maximum photo resolution of 4000x3000 pixels and supports burst shooting at up to 7 frames per second, making it a capable option for photographers who want more speed than a typical compact. The ISO range runs from 100 to 3200, giving shooters a reasonable spread for varied lighting conditions.

On the video side, the X-S1 records 1080p footage at 30fps in 8-bit color with a Standard color profile. Image stabilization is handled digitally rather than optically, so keep that in mind when shooting in low light or at longer reach. The camera features a 3.0-inch tilting LCD display with 460,000 dots of resolution — a genuinely useful feature for shooting from low or high angles — and an electronic viewfinder (EVF) with the same 460,000-dot resolution running at a 60Hz refresh rate.

The 49-point contrast-detection autofocus system handles focus duties without eye tracking or subject tracking. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the camera includes a built-in pop-up flash and a hot shoe for external flash units. Connectivity includes USB, though neither Wi-Fi nor Bluetooth are present.

The body is constructed from plastic/composite materials, weighs 920g, and measures 135 x 107 x 149 mm with no weather sealing.

Key Features — Fujifilm X-S1

12MP 2/3-Inch Sensor: Larger than typical point-and-shoot sensors, the 2/3-inch chip delivers more light-gathering surface area for improved image quality.

EXR Processor: Fujifilm's EXR engine handles image processing and supports the camera's fast burst and exposure modes.

26x Optical Zoom Lens: The fixed superzoom lens covers an exceptionally wide focal range, making it versatile for everything from wide landscapes to distant subjects.

7fps Burst Shooting: Captures up to 7 frames per second, giving this point-and-shoot genuine speed for action and fast-moving subjects.

Electronic Viewfinder: The 200,000-dot EVF provides a real-time view for shooting in bright conditions where the rear screen is hard to see.

Tilting 3.0-Inch LCD: The rear screen tilts to make composing shots from low or high angles straightforward without crouching or guessing.

Description — Fujifilm X-S1

The Fujifilm X-S1 is a 12MP point-and-shoot camera built on a 2/3-inch sensor and driven by the EXR Processor. Photos are captured at up to 4000x3000 pixels, and the camera supports burst shooting at 7fps. The ISO range spans 100 to 3200, with color profile options including Standard, Vivid, and Soft.

For video, the X-S1 records 1080p at 30fps in 8-bit depth using a Standard color profile. Stabilization is provided via Digital/Electronic IS, as there is no optical or in-body stabilization system. The 3.0-inch tilting LCD with 460,000 dots makes it easy to compose from awkward angles, while the 60Hz electronic viewfinder at the same 460,000-dot resolution provides an alternative eye-level shooting experience.

A 49-point contrast-detection autofocus system handles focusing. The body is made from plastic/composite material, weighs 920g, and measures 135 x 107 x 149 mm with no weather sealing. A built-in pop-up flash and hot shoe are both present, and storage uses SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards.

Battery life is rated at approximately 500 shots.
