Great Camera

Great camera for usability and quality of images. Downsides are the slow focus and video performance, but this is really a photographers camera. I really like the quick exposure compensation dial and viewfinder. More lens selection would be nice.

great addt add on, but a bit pricey!

Adds necessary grip to the smallish Fuji. All metal construction and of course fits perfectly. Only bad design is lack of access to battery and sd card. And about $20 too high in my opinion.
Pros:
  • Added Grip
  • Quality construction
Cons:
  • No Battery Accesa
  • Price

Just what I was looking for

Pros:
  • Fast Shutter Speed
  • Good Battery Life
  • Good Firmware Upgrades
  • Great Lenses From Fuji
  • Great Resolution
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Small / Compact
Cons:
  • Focusing Can Be Slow

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.
