Fujifilm looks set to extend its range of retro-styled mirrorless cameras, if we’re to believe a leaked press release and publicity shots for an unannounced model, the X-A1. The camera, which first appeared on Czech camera retailer Fotoskoda (before it was quickly taken down), looks to become the fourth model in Fujifilm’s interchangeable lens X-series, with a 16-megapixel APS-C EXR CMOS sensor. Like the $700 X-M1, Fujifilm’s latest shooter is said to include a 3-inch tilting LCD, on-board Wi-Fi, and a “very fast” startup response time to get you snapping in less than 0.5 seconds. The absence of Fujifilm’s magical X-TRANS sensor, which has been a big feature on the higher-end models, makes us think this may be a significantly cheaper model, possibly aimed at those looking for their first foray into the world of interchangeable lens compacts. There’s no word on when the X-A1 might become available, but expect bold red and blue variants when it does, alongside the more traditional Fuji-ish black.
