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

Fujifilm X-E1
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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- 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

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

Fujifilm X-E1: Review
I immediately appreciated the Fujifilm X-E1 , since in practice the "cousin" with interchangeable lenses. But it is undeniable that this new system is a really good party: good and excellent optical sensors.
Pros:
- Vintage aesthetic
- Ergonomics
- Flash easily integrated directional upward
- Image quality
Cons:
- Lack of the last manual focus mode and focus peaking split-image
- Shutter speed Auto ISO is not configurable
- Noise tendon focal plane shutter
- Battery indicator residual misleading

I wanted to move from dSLR to something smaller, but wasn't ready to sacrifice the functionality and image quality.I'm so impressed with dynamic range, sharpness and image quality... I can't get the smile off of my face, for weeks :) This is one beautiful and joyful camera.
