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.

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

I like the controls for primary functions but the interface is a bit fiddly for more obscure settings, likely solved by familiarity. It's fun with adapters to use old lenses on this body.
Pros:
- Beautiful tonal renditions (film-like)
- compact
- fast handling
- quality construction
- very adaptable for using legacy optics
- stealthy quiet
- high ISO duty maintains nice quality
Cons:
- Can struggle a bit in very low light focusing

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
Six months ago Fuji finally joined the compact system camera goldrush with its X-Pro1. As the model name indicated this was a high-end interchangeable lens compact that came across more as a budget (at £1,000+) digital version of a £5,000 Leica, complete with rangefinder-like controls and tank-like...
Pros:
- Smaller
- lighter and slightly cheaper version of flagship X-Pro1
- gorgeously retro styling
- some lovely DSLR-like effects and results achievable with the 18-55mm kit zoom provided
- good option for the semi pro photographer wanting a less intrusive backup to a DSLR
Cons:
- More plastic-y elements to certain aspects of the build this time around
- even though it commands a premium price tag
- plus auto focus could be quicker still
- particularly when adjusting framing during video recording

Camera Review: Fujifilm X-E1
