The Fujifilm X-E1 delivers excellent photo quality in an attractively designed body with a streamlined shooting layout
While not bad, performance lags in its class, and the video quality disappoints
It's not a general-purpose recommendable camera thanks to subpar video and slightly sluggish performance, but for photo-quality-first photographers who want the analog-ish shooting experience, the Fujifilm X-E1 rules in its price range.
With good looks and great performance to back up its aesthetics, the X-E1 is a joy to use. It still has a few quirks, and if you can live with those quirks you'll be rewarded with exceptional images in a light, portable package that won't break the bank o...
By Josh Fate 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 digicam...

Significantly less expensive than Fuji's flagship CSC, but with many of the same features, Really excellent image quality overall, JPEGs are very clean, with very conservative sharpening. (Who needs RAWs?), Lots of resolution and detail from 16.3MP APS...

The Fuji X-E1 may be the baby brother to Fuji's flagship X-Pro1, but in many ways is its equal. Most importantly, the two cameras share the same impressive 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor, which produces image quality superior to most APS-C-se...
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.
The X-E1 is a great follow up model to Fujifilm's X-Pro 1 providing most of what the more expensive flagship model offers at a significantly lower price point. For purists, an optical viewfinder on a rangefinder style camera will be a must-have featur...
