Fujifilm introduces the X-T200, the compact mirrorless camera for everyday use

The X-T200 is a lightweight and compact mirrorless camera that can create 24.2 megapixel stills at 8 fps, record 4K UHD at 30fps, and pull down Full HD video at 120p. It features a redesigned EVF, face detection autofocus and is built around a new sensor and processor. It’s the follow-up the X-T100, and is lighter with a more advanced sensor. The camera features a new Digital Gimbal Function that utilizes gyro sensors inside the camera’s body—a great tech feature for recording smooth video footage without an additional accessory. Essentially, this is a great first camera for someone who is looking for something a little more substantial than what their phone can offer. Here is what else we know about it:

• Built around an APS-C 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor with copper wiring
• Processes data 3.5 times faster than the X-T100
• Camera has phase detection autofocus pixels across the sensor
• Updated Face/Eye Detection autofocus makes it easier to use with large groups of people, also works for selfies 
• A 3.5-inch vari-angle LCD touch-screen that rotates between -90 to +180 degrees 
• Touch-screen can be used to adjust brightness, background blur, film simulation effects and more—making it very intuitive for folks who have only made pictures on a smartphone
• Camera features 11 digital film simulation modes and 20 advanced filters 
• Built-in gyro sensor makes for stabilized footage when shooting without additional accessories 
• Videos can be edited in-camera before they are shared 
• Body weighs 0.81 lbs 
• Available in Silver, Dark Silver and Champagne colors at the end of February 

The new X-T200 will be available as body only for $700, or bundled with a XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens for $800.
