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.

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

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).

Light; solid built; DSLR image quality

a little slower focusing speed than DSLR

This camera is excellent. I find the ergonomics kind of clunky as I find it not that comfortable to hold for a long time. However, the camera itself was affordable and of excellent quality. It is made in Japan. The dynamic range is very impressive for a crop sensor camera.

I like the controls for primary functions but the interface is a bit fiddly for more obscure settings, likely solved by familiarity. It's fun with adapters to use old lenses on this body.

Beautiful tonal renditions (film-like); compact; fast handling; quality construction; very adaptable for using legacy optics; stealthy quiet; high ISO duty maintains nice quality

Can struggle a bit in very low light focusing

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.

Retro styling; Less daunting than the X-Pro1; Lovely image results

A pricey step up; Screen isn't angle adjustable; AF could be quicker

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...

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

Auto Focus

I have one XE1 before this buy ,so I know what I have to expect ,it is aperfect first class buy ,on a very sharp price and fast transaction , It his my first amazon buy ,i'am looking to the next one Eric

As an avid traveller and amateur portraitist, I wanted a small camera with an APSC sensor and outstanding image quality. This new Fuji delivers in spades. STRENGTHS : 1) resolution equal to full frame DSLR.

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...

The Fujifilm X-E1 is the second mirrorless model from the company to use the X-mount. It was launched in September 2012 and has the same rangefinder aesthetic and analogue controls as its forerunner the X-Pro 1.

Excellent image quality; Superb high ISO noise performance; Big; bright; high resolution EVF; Built-in flash; External mic/remote socket; 6fps continuous shooting

EVF prone to extraneous light; No direct movie record button; Limited movie modes; AF perfomance still so-so; No gadgets like built-in Wifi or GPS
