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.
