Wasn't sure but someone I know bought one and really liked it. they were on special so I bought one... Really like it, will be buying a new wide angle for it.. I own a Nikon d3 and many lenses,,,, the x-e1 is small but mighty... an idea camera for a trip...

The latest camera to hit the shelves is Fujifilm X-E1 digital camera. This new camera is the latest addition in the Fujifilm's interchangeable lens X series. It has omitted the hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder and includes an improved and extremely sharp OLED EVF.

Improved auto-focus; Stylish and retro design; Excellent high ISO images; Top-notch controls; Stunning image quality

No touchscreen; Fixed rear LCD; Build quality not up to the mark; AF performance could have been better

I bought this camera for WildLife photography as I love to trek. This camera is very portable and also takes great photos. The lens kit provided helps me take night photos easily which was an expected feature.

On first glance, the Fujifilm X-E1 looks right out of the eighties when cameras were compact affairs with faux leather bodies and grips, and dozens of dials and buttons that one could fiddle around with to ensure that one got the perfect shot and did not waste the valuable film.

When Fujifilm launched the X-Pro1 in Australia a year ago it emphasised that it was a "first camera option", meaning it wasn't intended to merely supplement a D-SLR, but to replace it completely. The price tag – similar to that of a higher-end D-SLR – helped underline the X-Pro1's frontline status.

Great camera. Images are razor sharp and nicely saturated. Pretty much every feature you need from a camera like this.

Excellent image quality; Fantastic build

A bit slow at processing sometimes

Those, who read our website on a frequent basis know that I ended up picking the Olympus OM-D E-M5 as my mirrorless camera of choice last year. Although I loved shooting with the Fuji X-Pro1, the two primary reasons why I decided to hold back, were its poor autofocus performance and lack of RAW...

This is a great way for someone who wants to go small but not give up quality images. There's supposed to be an update to this design in Mid October '13. Which may or may not offer some new features you'll want.

Great images even under low light; Intuitive controls, Redefines (in a good way) what a kit zoom lens is; It's not a point and shoot, but it is an amazingly fun camera; I was looking for something smaller and easier to handle that my FF DSLR, but I didn't want to give up much in image quality.

The EVF is a little laggy so sports or other action type shots are not going to be this cam's forte

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).

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.
