Fujifilm has strong interest in sensors. Fujifilm DSLRs had very interesting sensors. In theur mirrorless cameras the company uses a unique color filter instead of 2x2 Bayer mask. Upon release the X-Trans sensor got a mixed reception. First, data processing from the complex color filter by third-party software was not as good as Fuji "in house" processing but this problem was eventually resolved. X-Trans sensor is also prone to "color smearing" in some situations.
In few days Fujifilm is expected to announce an entry-level mirrorless camera equipped with a conventional sensor (Bayer mask, not X-Trans). So, people will be able to choose between two entry-level models, X-M1 with X-Trans sensor, and X-A1 with Bayer mask. This may provide a very useful feedback to the company.
The new tele-zoom XC 50-230mm lens is expected to be announced together with the new camera.
