Fujifilm X-S1
The X-S1 continues Fuji's push into premium camera territory through its X-series range. Within this range we've already seen the fixed-lens X100 with its cutting edge hybrid-viewfinder and the super-stylish and more pocket-friendly X10 .
Pros:
- Manually operated zoom
- Larger than average 2/3inch sensor
- Good quality electronic viewfinder
- Much better image quality than most superzooms
Cons:
- Slight sluggish AF at long telephoto
- Slow shot to shot time
- Doesn't match image quality of DSLR or CSC

Fuji X-S1 review
Always liked the idea of an all-in-one camera with a massive zoom capability, but hated the often all too-plastic feel? Fuji's X-S1 may, nay will, cause you to re-evaluate the humble bridge camera .

Fujifilm X-S1
The Fujifilm X-S1 is no ordinary superzoom. It has a 12-megapixel, 2/3in sensor that's far larger than what you'd normally find in a compact camera for starters. As much as the X-S1 is considered a "compact" – often described as a "bridge" or "superzoom" camera – it's far from small scale.
Pros:
- Great electronic viewfinder
- images are great (save for specular highlight issue)
- decent build
- manual zoom and focus rings
Cons:
- Specular highlights can morph into white dots
- autofocus not all it could have been

Fujifilm X-S1 review
Fujifilm is producing some of the best super zooms and premium end compacts around just now. This may just have something to do with the fact that, unlike Canon and Nikon, it doesn't have any DSLRs of its own.
Pros:
- Solid build quality
- Very broad focal range
- Large electronic viewfinder
Cons:
- Pricey
- Bulky and heavy
- Soft results at maximum zoom

The more we used this camera, the more we started enjoying it. Everything from the sound of the shutter release to the robust yet comfortable feel, and the extensive image control we had, ticked the many boxes we would have when taking out a DSLR.

Fujifilm X-S1
As part of the X series, the Fujifilm X-S1 ($799.95 direct) is placed among Fuji's top cameras . The 26x superzoom is as big and heavy as an SLR, but gives you a much longer zoom factor than you'll find in any interchangeable lens camera, and it's got a large rubberized manual zoom ring, a sharp...
Pros:
- 26x manual zoom lens
- Excellent control layout
- Sharp EVF
- Hot shoe
- Raw shooting support
Cons:
- Expensive
- Very large
- Slow to start up
- Slightly soft images

None on eBay costs as low as it can be purchased for elsewhere.
Takes very nice pictures throughout the focal range. Color rendition is almost as good as Canon. Ergonomics I liked very much.
