Fujifilm XF1: A stunning design, equally impressive photos and genuinely pocket-sized too

Awesome camera with great design. I brought this camera to banff and had lots of amazing photo done with it. Good size for travelling and great photo quality. (of course can't compare to DSLR) Really satisfy with it!! Recommended to purchase an extra battery.

Fuji makes a few missteps in bringing the prestigious X series to the masses.

Introduced at Photokina 2012 as the entry-level model in Fujifilm's X-series of cameras, the FinePix XF1 shares a lot of features with the FinePix X10 but is sleeker, slimmer and lighter.

Fuji XF1 is a high end P&S with lot of manual settings. The camera has a unique way to turn it on manually. This requires some practices to turn it on quickly and smoothly. It does save more power with this design.

The Fujifilm XF1 is the sixth model to grace the company's premium ‘X' range of digital cameras, and much like the , , and also new XE-1 models that have preceded it, the XF1 borrows heavily from retro 35mm rangefinder design to produce a camera that packs a deliberately old-school aesthetic punch,...

Fantastic design; Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture at 25mm; Full manual controls & Raw capture

Quite a bit of play in zoom at 100mm; Worries over long-term durability of zoom; Slow performance at high ISO settings

With camera-incorporating smartphones eviscerating the market for simpler snapshots, Fuji is another manufacturer reacting by going high-end. The XF1 is the latest in its gorgeously retro styled ‘X' series of premium-build compacts.

Stylish retro appearance and lightweight aluminium build; Fast and bright f/1.4 maximum aperture lens with manual operation; High ISO12800 light sensitivity; Fair pricing

Turning on the camera is awkward

Daniel Bell reviews the Fujifilm XF1, a pocket-sized retro premium compact camera.

Well-built body; Lots of buttons to make it quick and easy to change camera settings; Image quality is good; Lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.8; Good value for money; Advanced filter mode allows for unique picture taking; Takes excellent panorama pictures

Screen resolution a little low; 10 fps high-speed shooting is only available at a reduced image size; No hotshoe socket; Switch on method and manual zoom won't be too everyone's liking

The Fujifilm XF1 is an advanced compact camera that offers a retro design, 12 megapixel 2/3-inch EXR CMOS sensor, a 4x, 25-100mm, f/1.8-4.9 zoom lens with a manual zoom ring, 1080p movie recording, 7fps burst shooting and a 3-inch LCD monitor with a resolution of 460,000 dots.

Fuji's X-series hits the spot again with the stylish, feature-packed XF1

Stylish snapper; Small form-factor; Very fast autofocus

Bit of a pain to turn on and off
