APSC sized sensor, Well built, Supports 1080p video recording @24fps, Delightful 35mm f/1.4 lens.
Steep learning curve, Too many controls on different dials, Processing algorithms don't work well, Expensive
The Fujifilm X-E1 is a truly compact mirrorless camera, and is quite a looker. However its vanity comes at the cost of its usability. It takes quite a while to get the hang of, and is unreliable at times. Low light shots are disappointing. The camera wit...
Abstract: 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...
Compact body compared to a DSLR, Excellent image quality even at high ISO, Well-placed dials that make accessing settings really quick
AF is a hit or miss at times, Lack of any sort of controls in video recording mode
The Fujifilm X-E1 is a camera that aims right at the heart of old-school photographers stuck in the new age. It employs a rangefinder design that is sure to attract many, but at the same time, its bulky, block-like design might not appeal to some part of ...

Absolutely, for stellar images. But not if you want bells and whistles. This isnt a camera for video, for in-camera effects, wi-fi, or scene modes. Its for unadulterated photography, with fantastic image quality and control.The caveats include mediocre...

When the X-mount debuted, Fujifilm showed a commitment to high quality glass with its first three prime offerings, but many wondered if this performance would extend to a zoom lens. Now we know the answer. The X-E1's 18-55mm kit lens is almost exactly as ...
Smaller, lighter and slightly cheaper version of flagship X-Pro1, gorgeously retro styling, some lovely DSLR-like effects and results achievable with the 18-55mm kit zoom provided, good option for the semi pro photographer wanting a less intrusive backup to a DSLR
More plastic-y elements to certain aspects of the build this time around, even though it commands a premium price tag, plus auto focus could be quicker still, particularly when adjusting framing during video recording
Price and lack of present support may be a barrier to some, but styling and image quality certainly seduce
