Must use it to appreciate it.

First I was not sure about how it would look on the beautiful camera. But it will be totally in my palm and can't really see when I hold up the camera. Without this grip, camera may be too small to hold with one hand without the grip. It is a must for me, coming from DSLR.
Pros:
  • Very Solid
Cons:
  • None

Just what I was looking for

I bought this camera looking for a lighter alternative to my Canon DSLR for hiking, backpacking and general travel photography. We did a week+ trip to the Rocky Mountains, and I put it through all the paces camping and backpacking. I've also used it for some portraiture work and flower photography.
Pros:
  • Fast Shutter Speed
  • Good Battery Life
  • Good Firmware Upgrades
  • Great Lenses From Fuji
  • Great Resolution
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Small / Compact
Cons:
  • Focusing Can Be Slow

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

Fujifilm X-E1 First Impressions Review

It feels redundant to re-introduce the Fujifilm X Series at this point. At Photokina 2010, Fuji debuted the X100 , a fixed-lens camera with a big sensor and a groundbreaking optical/electronic hybrid viewfinder.
Pros:
  • Bright
  • sharp OLED viewfinder
  • Costs much less than X-Pro1
  • Great retro design and feel
Cons:
  • Focus still seems to be wonky

Fujifilm X-E1

The Fuji X-E1 may be the baby brother to Fuji's flagship X-Pro1, but in many ways is its equal. Most importantly, the two cameras share the same impressive 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor, which produces image quality superior to most APS-C-sensor-based digital SLRs, but in arguably more...
Pros:
  • Significantly less expensive than Fuji's flagship CSC, but with many of the same features, Really excellent image quality overall, JPEGs are very clean, with very conservative sharpening
  • (Who needs RAWs?
Cons:
  • Limited selection of X-mount lenses
  • Needs bigger handgrip for extensive use
  • Mushy shutter button feel
  • Mediocre autofocus and shot-to-shot speeds
  • Wakes slowly from sleep mode
  • ISO
  • Film Simulation
  • and Dynamic Range bracketing disable RAW recording
  • Auto white balance too red indoors,
