Fujifilm X-E1
Over the past couple of years Fujifilm's premium quality ‘X' range has elevated the brand no end in the eyes of enthusiast photographers.

- Excellent electronic viewfinder

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.

Not perfect, but not many better.
I bought the X-E1 because I can't stand using the rear LCD of digital cameras, I need to look through the finder to feel connected. I also wanted something small as I found I didn't use my SLR very often any more because of size.
Pros:
- I bought the X-E1 because I can't stand using the rear LCD of digital cameras, I need to look through the finder to feel connected
- I also wanted something small as I found I didn't use my SLR very often any more because of size.
Cons:
- A bit slow to focus
- a bit slow with buit in flash
- sometimes picks too slow a shutter speed in aperture priority with auto ISO

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.

Fujifilm X-E1 review
It came as no surprise that on the back of the success Fujifilm had with its fashionable rangefinder-style FinePix X100, the company should announce what is effectively an interchangeable-lens version in the form of the X-Pro1. What is perhaps surprising is just how good the newer model is.

Great back-up to a full size DSLR
Fuji have really carved a niche for themselves with the X Series - and the X-E1 is a brilliant addition. I wanted a smaller camera for travel and family events use as I found lugging my Canon 7D and lenses around a bit of a chore.The image quality and dynamic range in the JPEGS, never mind the RAW...
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Auto Focus

Fujifilm X-E1
Fujifilm is expanding its range of compacts with large-format sensors with the X-E1. While Fuji's X-Pro1 advanced compact is a practically pro-level camera, this more accessible model has a similar feel to the X100 but with the...
