But the real standout is its brand new sensor, which trades megapixels forwell, for everything else.
What is new is its speed.
The practical result is that the data can be dumped from all pixels simultaneously, making it incredibly fast.

Or shooting at 30fps for over a thousand frames.
And remember, these are full-resolution stills were talking about here, not video.
Fast AF
Which is neat, if you need it.

More practical are the improvements to autofocus.
Now, the camera can auto-detect subjects and then track them through the frame.
This might be fast-moving sports or just kids running around the backyard.

It might seem that this camera isn’t for you.
The price, the features, and the overall design are aimed solely at demanding professionals.
The Future
And yet, this is still a very interesting camera.
It shows where Fujifilm is going next.
The X-series cameras all share the same sensor, barring older models that sometimes stick around for a while.
Which brings us to the one weird aspect of this camera.
It uses buttons and wheels to dial in tweaks instead of manual-style dials.
This makes it easy to use the camera without thinking.
Which is also fantastic if you need it.
In fact, that might be the catchphrase of Fujifilms X-series.
The same sensor, but with radically different camera designs, focused on different kinds of photographers.
