It might have a whole lineup of modern photo and video capture devices, but Fujifilm also has a taste for retro-style cameras, which is why it has released two of them. They are called X-E2 and XQ1.

The X-E2 has an X-Trans sensor of 16.3 megapixels (APS-C chip) with phase detection autofocus. It also has an EXR Processor II and Wi-Fi support, plus a design involving textured plastic and adjustments to dial placement and buttons, compared to last year's X-E1.

X-E2 will replace X-E1, but costs the same $999.95 / €999.95 as its predecessor. The kit lens will take the price to $1,399.95 / €1,399.95.

Meanwhile, the XQ1 will replace the XF1. It has a similar look as the X-E2, as far as the outer pattern goes, but a 12-megapixel sensor (Fujifilm's X-Trans CMOS II), EXR Processor II, 4x optical zoom, and a price of $499.95 / €499.95.
