Lean but still mean

Fujifilm is currently the biggest champion of retro design in the camera space, and the newly announced Fujifilm X-E1 indicates there's no end in sight. In many ways, this new edition is just a smaller version of the so-called poor man's Leica, a.k.a X Pro-1 .

Fujifilm X-E1

The Fujifilm X-E1 is a new compact system camera featuring a retro design that bears more than a passing resemblance to its big brother, the X-Pro1. At the heart of the X-E1 is the same 16.3 megapixel APS-C sized "X-Trans" CMOS sensor, which has a colour filter array that mimics film grain and no...

Fuji X-E1 Review: Wonderful For Stills, But It's No Jack Of All Trades

The Fuji X-Pro1 was a hit. But at $1700 for the body alone, it was (and still is) bonkers expensive. The new X-E1 is Fuji's reaction to that. With a pared down body and new kit lens, Fuji could maintain its enthusiast appeal - and attract a broader market.

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.

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

Camera Review: Fujifilm X-E1

Despite all the advances in digital technology, photographers are a nostalgic lot. For evidence, look no further than the cultish popularity of some recent, retro-style digital sharpshooters such as the , which looks like a miniature version of an old SLR camera, and the , which resembles a Leica...

Camera Test: Fujifilm X-E1 ILC

The Fujifilm X-E1 is a great addition to the company's line of premium ILCs. Rangefinder diehards might miss the optical finder provided in the X-Pro1, but given that this isn't a true rangefinder, we were perfectly okay with the X-E1's EVF.

The FujiFilm X-E1 is their newest X-mount ILC camera, featuring the same APS-C sized 16-Megapixel X-Trans CMOS image sensor that was initially released in their flagship X-Pro 1 camera. The X-E1 was not designed like most consumer digicams, but more like a true rangefinder camera.
Pros:
  • Plenty of dials for fast control when shooting
  • Incredibly quality throughout the entire standard ISO range
  • 10 available X-mount lenses and an adapter for M-mount lenses
  • Excellent Low-Light performance
  • Large
  • bright and vivid LCD screen
  • OLED viewfinder is a pleasure
  • showing all of your shooting...
Cons:
  • Shooting performance lacks a little when compared to the performance of the rest of the camera
  • No Auto or Scene shooting modes
  • No dedicated video recording button
  • Lofty Price Tag
  • Choppy video playback with low quality audio

Fujifilm X-E1 Mirrorless Camera Review

The X-E1 is the second mirrorless system camera made by Fujifilm. In contrast to the X-Pro1, it has an electronic viewfinder with ultrahigh resolution (2.3 million RGB dots) instead of the X-Pro1's hybrid viewfinder (combination of optical viewfinder and electronic viewfinder).
