Great camera. Images are razor sharp and nicely saturated. Pretty much every feature you need from a camera like this.

Excellent image quality; Fantastic build

A bit slow at processing sometimes

This is a great way for someone who wants to go small but not give up quality images. There's supposed to be an update to this design in Mid October '13. Which may or may not offer some new features you'll want.

Great images even under low light; Intuitive controls, Redefines (in a good way) what a kit zoom lens is; It's not a point and shoot, but it is an amazingly fun camera; I was looking for something smaller and easier to handle that my FF DSLR, but I didn't want to give up much in image quality.

The EVF is a little laggy so sports or other action type shots are not going to be this cam's forte

Those, who read our website on a frequent basis know that I ended up picking the Olympus OM-D E-M5 as my mirrorless camera of choice last year. Although I loved shooting with the Fuji X-Pro1, the two primary reasons why I decided to hold back, were its poor autofocus performance and lack of RAW...

With many of the same features as the X-Pro1, but more affordable, is this the perfect enthusiast CSC? We find out in the What Digital Camera Fujifilm X-E1 review

Stunning image quality; premium finish and design; excellent EVF; no-nonsense handling

AF performance could still be better; rear screen not up to rivals standard

In recent years, Fuji has enjoyed great success, especially critically, with its premium series of X cameras. The Fuji X-E1 is the second in the lineup to feature interchangeable lenses, and is an addition to, rather than a replacement for, the Fuji X-Pro1

Updated: Now with a page comparing the Fuji X-E1 with the Fuji X-Pro1. In recent years, Fuji has enjoyed great success, especially critically, with its premium series of X cameras.

The Fujifilm X-E1 is the second mirrorless camera from Fujifilm after the Fujifilm X-Pro1 was launched earlier this year. The X-E1 is a more compact model, with an electronic viewfinder instead of the optical/electronic hybrid in the X-Pro1, and sees the introduction of a new 18-55mm lens with...

Brighter than normal kit lens (f2.8 - f/4; Impressive noise performance up to ISO6400; Impressive colour reproduction; Great build quality and handling; Film simulation modes; High resolution EVF; Good panoramics

Indoor white balance could be better; Expensive lenses / price of kit; Kit lens could be wider; Exposure compensation dial easy to knock

Over the past couple of years Fujifilm's premium quality ‘X' range has elevated the brand no end in the eyes of enthusiast photographers. The first model in the series – the X100 – combined retro rangefinder looks with a cutting edge ‘hybrid' viewfinder to great effect, and this was soon followed by...

Stunning image quality; Premium finish and design; Excellent electronic viewfinder; No-nonsense handling

AF performance could still be better; Rear screen not up to standard of rivals

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.

Excellent image quality; built-in pop-up flash; easy-to-use controls; Autofocus speed could still see some improvement

Autofocus speed could still see some improvement

The Fujifilm X-E1 is a compact system camera (CSC) unlike any of the competition out there - that's clear from taking just one glance at this well-oiled, retro-designed machine. But it's what's on the inside that's most exciting.

Image quality is excellent; build quality is superb; retro style works a treat; high resolution electronic viewfinder; 18-55mm lens has bright aperture range and is well built

Autofocus not as swift as competition; close focus limitations; exposure comp dial can be knocked easily; 18-55mm lens positions rotational rings close together; small LCD screen; so-so battery life
