Fujifilm X-E1 review by spochana

A long waiting Pro-quality mirrorless camera for me. It is light and solid built. I can carry to everywhere I go without a big camera bag but it can deliver high quality photos similar to a DSLR (APC sensor not full frame).
Pros:
  • Light
  • solid built
  • DSLR image quality
Cons:
  • a little slower focusing speed than DSLR

Fujifilm X-E1 Review

Fujifilm is doing something unique with the high-end X-Series. It's not only producing strong compact cameras that rival low-to-mid-range DSLRs, but crafting beautiful instruments that look more like luxury goods than gadgets .
Pros:
  • Great styling
  • Large CMOS sensor
  • Great image quality
  • even in low light
  • Easy to use
Cons:
  • Autofocusing could be faster
  • Video capture is a weak feature
  • No connectivity options or other features
  • Build quality could feel more solid

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

Fujifilm FinePix X-E1 Review

When Fujifilm released the X-E1 it's clear that the company has one thing in mind, and that is to polish some of the rough edges that critics pointed out on the X-Pro1. Well, they didn't have to do much as the X-Pro1 is already regarded by many as one of the sleekest MILC in the market.

Insanely amazing

I was lucky enough to get this the first week it was shipped to B&H without being on a waiting list. There's no camera that's in this price with kit lens can match its photo quality. If you want video get a gh3. Auto mode is decent but this camera screams to be in full manual.
Pros:
  • I was lucky enough to get this the first week it was shipped to B&H without being on a waiting list
  • There's no camera that's in this price with kit lens can match its photo quality
  • If you want video get a gh3
  • Auto mode is decent but this camera screams to be in full manual.

Fujifilm's X-E1 delivers great photos for manual-focused photographers

It's not a general-purpose recommendable camera thanks to subpar video and slightly sluggish performance, but for photo-quality-first photographers who want the analog-ish shooting experience, the Fujifilm X-E1 rules in its price range.
Pros:
  • The Fujifilm X-E1 delivers excellent photo quality in an attractively designed body with a streamlined shooting layout
Cons:
  • While not bad
  • performance lags in its class
  • and the video quality disappoints

As an avid traveller and amateur portraitist, I wanted a small camera with an APSC sensor and outstanding image quality. This new Fuji delivers in spades. STRENGTHS : 1) resolution equal to full frame DSLR.

Fuji X-E1 Review: Wonderful For Stills, But It's No Jack Of All Trades

The Fuji X-Pro1 was a hit. But at $1700 for the body alone, it was (and still is) bonkers expensive. The new X-E1 is Fuji's reaction to that. With a pared down body and new kit lens, Fuji could maintain its enthusiast appeal - and attract a broader market.

  • Impressive noise performance up to ISO6400
  • Impressive colour reproduction
  • Great build quality and handling
