Fujifilm recently held a press conference at the CES 2013 to unveil a new pair of fixed-lens rangefinder-inspired cameras. These two snappers – the X20 and X100S – is slated to replace their current entry-level and mid-ranged X-Series offerings. This includes the new EXR II processor and XTrans II CMOS sensor, which Fujifilm claims to significantly improve the autofocus and low-light capabilities. As if sensor-processor wasn’t enough, the imaging giant also threw an on-chip phase detection AF system to further expand the X100S and X20’s autofocus performance. Fujifilm also upgraded the pair’s viewfinders. Though not as significant of an improvement compared to its mid-range sibling, the X20’s Optical Viewfinder also received a slight improvement which now tells it user about the exposure of their composition. The fixed lenses of these two new cameras are also remained untouched; 28-112mm f/2.0-2.8 for the X20 and 23mm f/2.0 for the X100S. Unfortunately, both the X100S and the X20 still have the same subpar 2.8-inch 460K-dot LCD screen of their predecessors.
