Description — Fujifilm XQ1
The Fujifilm XQ1 is a pocket-friendly point-and-shoot built for photographers who want meaningful image quality in a highly portable form. At its core is a 12MP 2/3-inch sensor processed by the EXR Processor II, with a native ISO range of 100–12800. The hybrid autofocus system integrates both phase-detection and contrast-detection, deploying 49 contrast-detect AF points alongside on-sensor phase-detect points for responsive focusing performance.
Burst shooting reaches 12 frames per second, useful for action and candid photography. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD delivers a sharp 920,000-dot display for composing and reviewing shots. Video tops out at 1080p at 60fps in 8-bit, with color profile options spanning Standard, Velvia, Astia, Provia, and Monochrome.
Connectivity includes built-in Wi-Fi, USB, and Micro HDMI output. Optical Image Stabilization helps with handheld shooting, and a built-in pop-up flash handles low-light fill. The body is constructed from metal and plastic, measuring 100 x 59 x 33 mm and weighing just 206g, making it a genuinely compact everyday carry. Storage uses SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the NP-48 battery is rated for approximately 240 shots per charge.
