Borrowing many features from the X100T, the X70 sports an 18.5mm f/2.8 Fujinon (28mm equivalent) lens following calls from some photographers for a small, light camera capable of wideangle shots.
Aimed largely at street photographers, the X70 boasts a 16.3-million-pixel, X-Trans CMOS II imaging sensor and an EXR Processor II.
Due on sale next month in black and silver options, the £549 X70 is the first X-series camera to sport a touchscreen capable of rotating 180° – which should prove suitable for selfies, for example.
The 3in screen carries a resolution of 1.04 million dots and the focusing ring on the lens doubles as a control ring to help the user access controls quickly.
The camera weighs around 340g (which is 100g lighter than the X100T) and measures 112.5×64.4×44.4mm.
