Adorama Learning Center's digital imaging expert Mason Resnick takes a first look at the new X-Series cameras from Fuji. Of the new flagship X-Pro 2, Mason says, "The key upgrade here is the sensor, bumped up from the original 16MP version to an all-new 24.3MP APS-C Trans CMOS III sensor. Its native ISO range, 200-12,800, is expandable down to ISO 100 in the low end, and up to ISO 51,200 in the upper range -- one stop faster than its predecessor. The sensor retains the same semi-randomized pixel array, which has impressed users with its more film-like image characteristics in earlier models. In addition to higher still image resolution, the camera can capture full 1080p HD video at a faster frame rate of 60fps."
