Fujifilm’s latest APS-C mirrorless camera, the Fujifilm X-T200, is designed as a compact, lightweight photography solution. At 0.82-pounds, it’s lighter than its predecessor the X-T100 by roughly 17 percent.

Available in late February for $699, it will come in three colors: silver, dark silver and champagne. 

With a new EVF design, the rear LCD will also sport a new rotating 3.5-inch, vari-angle touchscreen design.

They say the fingertip menu interface provides a similar experience to a smartphone to access a variety of settings, like brightness, background blur, film simulation effects and image aspect ratios.

Data processing is 3.5x faster than the X-T100 for 8 fps still shooting at maximum resolution. With Main Subject Recognition for autofocus recognition, it has “quick” Face/Eye Detection AF thanks to added phase-detect autofocus pixels on the sensor. 

This will work when the LCD is facing backwards, too, for large-resolution selfies.

Available in UHD at up to 30 fps and HD at up to 120 fps for slow motion, video features include a new Digital Gimbal Function that will use gyro sensors to reduce camera shake during motion capture.

They say that rolling shutter artifacts during video like jelly motion and skew have been reduced, as well. There is a HDR Video mode for working in scenes with a lot of contrast between highlights and shadows, like outside in the sun.

For $799, the X-T200 kit purchase includes XC15-45mm45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens.

A new $199 Fujinon XC35mmF2 prime for the X-T200 will join it in release during the same timeframe. The compact lens will be only 46.5mm in length and weigh a mere 0.29 pounds. 

As it only covers APS-C, the XC35mmF2 will give the equivalent 52mm field of view of a full-frame 35mm format sensor.

Fujifilm also announced three new lenses, two primes and a zoom, for their GFX-format large-format cameras.
