X-E1
IT IS no secret that I'm in love with the Fuji X-Pro1 - in spite of its retro looks, it packs in a lot of advanced technology into its Leica-like body, not least of which is a class-leading 16-megapixel X-Trans CMOS sensor.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- built-in pop-up flash
- easy-to-use controls
- Autofocus speed could still see some improvement
Cons:
- Autofocus speed could still see some improvement

With the X-E1, Fuji has brought the next evolution of the X series of interchangeable lens cameras. As the system is set to grow in the coming year, we can see this camera appealing to a large group of people.

Fujifilm X-E1 Review
I immediately appreciated the Fujifilm X-E1 , since in practice the "cousin" with interchangeable lenses. But it is undeniable that this new system is a really good party: good and excellent optical sensors.
Pros:
- Vintage aesthetic
- Ergonomics
- Flash easily integrated directional upward
- Image quality
Cons:
- Lack of the last manual focus mode and focus peaking split-image
- Shutter speed Auto ISO is not configurable
- Noise tendon focal plane shutter
- Battery indicator residual misleading

I wanted to move from dSLR to something smaller, but wasn't ready to sacrifice the functionality and image quality.I'm so impressed with dynamic range, sharpness and image quality... I can't get the smile off of my face, for weeks :) This is one beautiful and joyful camera.

A Decent Slr
I bought this camera for WildLife photography as I love to trek. This camera is very portable and also takes great photos. The lens kit provided helps me take night photos easily which was an expected feature.

Fujifilm X-E1 review
Currently, the X-E1 costs £450 less than the street price of the X-Pro1, and is available with the superb 18-55mm lens (priced separately at £600) for the same price as the body-only X-Pro1. Considering the similarities between the two, the X-E1 is a good-value option.

- good color (with choice of 'film modes'
- Dials for exposure controls allow for easy check of settings by glancing at the top deck
