Fujifilm X-E1 First Impressions Review

It feels redundant to re-introduce the Fujifilm X Series at this point. At Photokina 2010, Fuji debuted the X100 , a fixed-lens camera with a big sensor and a groundbreaking optical/electronic hybrid viewfinder.
Pros:
  • Bright
  • sharp OLED viewfinder
  • Costs much less than X-Pro1
  • Great retro design and feel
Cons:
  • Focus still seems to be wonky

Fujifilm X-E1

The Fuji X-E1 may be the baby brother to Fuji's flagship X-Pro1, but in many ways is its equal. Most importantly, the two cameras share the same impressive 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor, which produces image quality superior to most APS-C-sensor-based digital SLRs, but in arguably more...

Lean but still mean

Fujifilm is currently the biggest champion of retro design in the camera space, and the newly announced Fujifilm X-E1 indicates there's no end in sight. In many ways, this new edition is just a smaller version of the so-called poor man's Leica, a.k.a X Pro-1 .

Fujifilm X-E1

The Fujifilm X-E1 is a new compact system camera featuring a retro design that bears more than a passing resemblance to its big brother, the X-Pro1. At the heart of the X-E1 is the same 16.3 megapixel APS-C sized "X-Trans" CMOS sensor, which has a colour filter array that mimics film grain and no...

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.

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.

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

Camera Review: Fujifilm X-E1

Despite all the advances in digital technology, photographers are a nostalgic lot. For evidence, look no further than the cultish popularity of some recent, retro-style digital sharpshooters such as the , which looks like a miniature version of an old SLR camera, and the , which resembles a Leica...

Camera Test: Fujifilm X-E1 ILC

The Fujifilm X-E1 is a great addition to the company's line of premium ILCs. Rangefinder diehards might miss the optical finder provided in the X-Pro1, but given that this isn't a true rangefinder, we were perfectly okay with the X-E1's EVF.
