BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Fujifilm has achieved something that's been hoped for but not previously brought to market - through-the-lens phase detection autofocus on a compact camera. The company is claiming the system enables focus times as fast as 0.158 sec. All current compact and mirrorless cameras use contrast detection AF, where the lens is racked back and forwards until the camera finds the position that gives the greatest contrast (which signifies being in focus).
