Las Vegas -Fujifilm hasn't dissapointed during CES. Last year they blessed the show floor with the X-Pro1 and various lenses, this year they upgrade two of their most beloved lines the X100S and the X20 offer some of the best features in the fixed lens premium point-and-shoot market. Other companies are starting to 'borrow' Fujifilm's retro-chic to infuse some coolness into their competing products but the originators still deliver the best combination of form and function. The X100S is a Leica-hunting monster with 16M APS-C "X Trans" CMOS Ⅱ sensor and the X20 is possibly one of the best all-around cameras in this category.

Fujifilm launches X100s and X20 Digital Cameras

A few days before CES 2013 and Fujifilm's already made some major product announcements with the release of the X100s and the X20 which bring a new dose of retro-goodness while adding some significant feature enhancements. The X20 (pictured above) now comes in both black as well as silver bodies. It features a 12 megapixel 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II sensor and a f/2.0-2.8 4x manual barrel zoom lens. The X100s maintains the same good looks of its iconic predecessor but now boasts the industry's fastest auto focus of 0.08 seconds, a first for fixed lens advanced point-and-shoot cameras. Pricing and availability have yet to be announced. We just hope Fujifilm continues to sell the older X100 and X10 models at cheaper price points as those are both superb cameras.
