Fuji: X series of cameras have really taken off

Fuji has said that it believes its X series of cameras have really taken off because people are put off by the weight and bulk of DSLRs.

First launching in 2010 with the X100, a premium compact camera housing an APS-C sized sensor, the X range now includes the X100, the X10 and the most recent addition, the X Pro1, the company's first compact system camera.

Although the price points aren't too dissimilar from some DSLRs, one of the biggest advantages of these cameras is their small size and weight.

Speaking to TechRadar, Fujifilm Imaging's senior vice president Adrian Clarke said, "A lot of people are beginning to feel that - no disrespect to SLRs - weight is becoming more of an important factor with photographers, and, something that works well and is easy to use but is very pocketable is very attractive to them."
