X-Photographers Stage
A special stage has been set up to present a series of live talk shows by 16 professional photographers from seven countries around the world, active in such fields as fashion, documentaries, motor sports and nature photography. These X-Photographers will introduce some of their own photographic creations taken with X Series cameras, discuss their personal impressions of the various cameras, and explain the various benefits of Fujifilm's X Series digital cameras.

At the newly-established Live Demo Corner, X-Photographers will also hold workship-style sessions to introduce the diverse array of advantages of using X Series cameras (including, the high image quality, outstanding color reproduction, easy operability and the compactness and easy portability not seen with other digital single lens reflex cameras).
