Despite its small form factor, it still packs a Fujinon 20x optical zoom lens starting at 25mm (35mm equivalent) on the wide end and extending to 500mm on the telephoto side.
Fujifilm has continued its trend of focusing on speed. The camera can focus on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds thanks to a new phase detection system that uses special new pixels on the camera’s sensor — the same system found in the new X20 and X100s.The new X-Series cameras can focus in 0.06 seconds. This compact camera beats them by 0.01 seconds.
Fujifilm states that the F900EXR can automatically choose between Phase Detection and Contrast Detection AF based on what you’re pointing the camera at, optimizing how quickly it locks onto the subject.Other facets …
