Inside the camera is a 16.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor with an ISO of up to 51200. On the front of the camera is a Fujinon 18.5mm f/2.8 lens (28mm equivalent in 35mm terms) with a special coating and with a 9-blade aperture for smooth bokeh.

Turn the camera around and you’ll find a 3-inch touchscreen LCD with 1.04 million dots that rotates 180 degrees — the first touchscreen in an X-Series camera. It lets photographers “shoot from up high, down low and capture selfies,” Fujifilm says.
