The Fujifilm FinePix X100 has won the European Advanced Compact Camera of the Year in the prestigious EISA Awards for 2011-2012.

 

EISA - the European Imaging and Sound Association - is the largest editorial multimedia organisation in Europe.

A statement from the judges said: “The Fujifilm FinePix X100 advanced compact camera introduces an innovative new hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder, and is a very high-quality camera designed to be portable and always ready.

 

“The camera is ruggedly built, has a very sharp 23mm F2.0 moderate wide angle lens that offers selective focus, and its APS-C CMOS sensor offers high image quality even under low-light conditions.

 

“As a near-silent camera with excellent manual and automatic shooting modes, the FinePix X100 stands out as a serious alternative to a compact system camera or a travel camera for the enthusiast and professional photographer.”

 

Fujifilm Senior Category Manager – Consumer & Professional Products, Matt Dole, said winning this esteemed Award from EISA is indicative that the FinePix X100 is the best in its class.

 

“The FinePix X100 captures high quality professional standard photos despite being a discreet, light and easy to carry compact camera,” Mr Dole said.

 

“This prestigious Award from independent experts is a testament to the outstanding quality and features of the FinePix X100, which is proving to be an ideal choice for many professional photographers keen to have a compact alternative to their bulky SLR camera.”

 

Mr Dole said Fujifilm is extremely proud of this impressive Award which is a tribute to the camera’s impressive capabilities and functionality.
