\n Fujifilm Europe’s Adrian Clarke chats to AP news editor Chris Cheesman about why he believes the X-T1 is proving popular and what photographers can expect in the coming months <\/em>
\n <\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

Speaking to Amateur Photographer<\/em> at The Photography Show in Birmingham yesterday, Fujifilm Europe director Adrian Clarke said: \u2018We cannot get enough of [the X-T1] and we have a lot of SLR users saying they want to trade in their heavy kit for a lighter camera.<\/p>\n

\u2018It’s basically the EVF that’s turned people’s heads.<\/p>\n

\u2018So, for us, this is extremely exciting and there are a lot more developments to come. We are very pleased indeed.’<\/p>\n

When Fuji unveiled<\/a> the new compact system camera in January, it said the \u2018ultra-fast’ electronic viewfinder was \u2018almost indistinguishable’ from an optical viewfinder.<\/p>\n

The 2.36-million-dot OLED EVF is designed to have a lag time of 0.005 seconds.<\/p>\n

Asked what photographers can expect to see at Germany’s Photokina show in September – traditionally a platform for major camera launches – Clarke added: \u2018Of course, there’s always things you can do to a camera, but we’re very happy with the current line-up.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have a large number of people in Japan, in R&D, being challenged all the time to improve every aspect of the camera. So, watch this space.’<\/p>\n

Clarke largely attributes the success of its X-series cameras to Fuji’s understanding of \u2018what makes a great picture’, and vast experience from being in the business for 80 years.<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course, we make our own lenses, we design our own sensors and our processors. So it’s that amalgam of all those technologies together that have worked extremely well…<\/p>\n

\u2018Everyone knows that the point-and-shoot market is down 25\/30% per annum, so we are focusing our resources on the top end… back to “photography” which we love so much.’<\/p>\n

Boasting SLR-style handling and a weather-resistant body, the X-T1 also carries a claimed AF speed of 0.08sec and 0.05sec shutter lag.<\/p>\n

The 16.3-million-pixel X-mount model houses an APS-C-size imaging sensor and a redesigned circuit board.<\/p>\n
