Fujifilm X-E1

A smaller, cheaper X-Pro1? Yes, please.

We really like this camera - it looks great, it's intuitive to use and image quality is very good. The X-E1 is aimed at enthusiasts and professional photographers looking for an even more compact and lightweight alternative to the X-Pro 1.

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...

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...

Fujifilm X-E1 review

The 16.3 effective megapixel, 1920x1080 pixels Full HD video shooting Fujifilm X-E1 competes directly with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 in the retro styled compact camera system stakes.

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...

Fujifilm X-E1

The Fujifilm X-E1 ($1,399 list with 18-55mm lens) is the second interchangeable lens camera in Fuji's X series. It omits the hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder that is included with the top-end X-Pro1, and instead includes an extremely sharp OLED EVF.

Fujifilm X-E1 Review

The Fujifilm X-E1 is a solid mirrorless camera with an innovative image sensor, but it doesn't quite have the chops to unseat the Olympus OM-D E-M5 as our Editors' Choice. The Fujifilm X-E1 ($1,399 list with 18-55mm lens)($699.00 at Amazon) is the second interchangeable lens camera in Fuji's X series. It omits the hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder that is included with the top-end X-Pro1, and instead includes an extremely sharp OLED EVF. Its 16-megapixel X-Trans CMOS image sensor uses a larger 6-by-6 array pattern of red, green, and blue pixels, which promises to produce more natural, film-like images than standard 4-by-4 Bayer pattern; it also eliminates the need for a low-pass filter, as it is not prone to the moiré effect. The camera does produce excellent images and will make the right type of shooter very happy, but it isn't quite as good as our Editors' Choice for high-end compact interchangeable lens cameras, the Olympus OM-D E-M5($499.00 at Amazon). Design and Features The X-E1 features the same retro styling that has adorned many a mirrorless camera. Our review unit was chrome with black leatherette, but there's also an all-black versio...

Great camera, especially for travelling

This camera is really good, amazing quality shots, and even at ISO3200 and above there is little noise. Photos have a special "something" to them. You should also look at the 35mm F1.4 Fulifilm lens, which is also great and worthwhile, and for a "fun" lens the Samyang/Rokinon/Bowen 8mm F2.8 fisheye...
