The FujiFilm X-E1 is their newest X-mount ILC camera, featuring the same APS-C sized 16-Megapixel X-Trans CMOS image sensor that was initially released in their flagship X-Pro 1 camera. The X-E1 was not designed like most consumer digicams, but more like a true rangefinder camera.
Pros:
- Plenty of dials for fast control when shooting
- Incredibly quality throughout the entire standard ISO range
- 10 available X-mount lenses and an adapter for M-mount lenses
- Excellent Low-Light performance
- Large
- bright and vivid LCD screen
- OLED viewfinder is a pleasure
- showing all of your shooting...
Cons:
- Shooting performance lacks a little when compared to the performance of the rest of the camera
- No Auto or Scene shooting modes
- No dedicated video recording button
- Lofty Price Tag
- Choppy video playback with low quality audio

Fujifilm X-E1 Mirrorless Camera Review
The X-E1 is the second mirrorless system camera made by Fujifilm. In contrast to the X-Pro1, it has an electronic viewfinder with ultrahigh resolution (2.3 million RGB dots) instead of the X-Pro1's hybrid viewfinder (combination of optical viewfinder and electronic viewfinder).

Fujifilm X-E1
With the same "spectacular" image quality and "dazzling" rangefinder style as the Fujifilm X-Pro1 (Est. $1,000) , but in a smaller, less pricey package, the Fujifilm X-E1 impresses experts and owners. However, with sluggish autofocus and flawed video quality, it's not for everyone.
Pros:
- Splendid image quality
- Compact body with great retro style
- Packed with professional-grade features
Cons:
- Slower autofocus than rivals
- Unimpressive video
- Partially plastic body isn't weather-sealed

On first glance, the Fujifilm X-E1 looks right out of the eighties when cameras were compact affairs with faux leather bodies and grips, and dozens of dials and buttons that one could fiddle around with to ensure that one got the perfect shot and did not waste the valuable film.

When Fujifilm launched the X-Pro1 in Australia a year ago it emphasised that it was a "first camera option", meaning it wasn't intended to merely supplement a D-SLR, but to replace it completely. The price tag – similar to that of a higher-end D-SLR – helped underline the X-Pro1's frontline status.

The latest camera to hit the shelves is Fujifilm X-E1 digital camera. This new camera is the latest addition in the Fujifilm's interchangeable lens X series. It has omitted the hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder and includes an improved and extremely sharp OLED EVF.
Pros:
- Improved auto-focus
- Stylish and retro design
- Excellent high ISO images
- Top-notch controls
- Stunning image quality
Cons:
- No touchscreen
- Fixed rear LCD
- Build quality not up to the mark
- AF performance could have been better

- APS-C sized sensor
- Well built
- Supports 1080p video recording @24fps

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
