Abstract: If the X-Pro1 is a bit beyond your budget, you can have almost as much fun with the ‘economy' version which still convincingly delivers a classic camera experience. Brilliant though Fujifilm's X-Pro1 undoubtedly is, it's primarily aimed at professional...

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....
Improved autofocus, Retro design, Lots of dials, Fantastic EVF
Not a touchscreen, Can't shoot raw in all situations, Hidden video mode

Absolutely, for stellar images. But not if you want bells and whistles. This isn't a camera for video, for in-camera effects, wi-fi, or scene modes. It's for unadulterated photography, with fantastic image quality and control...
If you're in the market for a mirrorless camera and not committed to other systems, the X-E1 is well worth a look, particularly if you prefer a traditional control layout. Aside from the X-Pro1, the main competitor for the X-E1 is Sony's NEX-7, which also...
Abstract: The rear panel of the X-E1. (Source: Fujifilm.)The top panel layouts in both cameras are almost identical, right down to the design of the shutter button and on/off lever control. Both cameras have the 'traditional' dial controls for shutter speeds and ex...
The FUJIFILM X-E1, as a concept, is irresistible. Whoever drew up the design spec for the X-series was either a photographer, or really understood them. As the furthest evolution of the X100 to the X10 and the X-Pro1, the X-E1 and the XF lenses stand as a...
Abstract: It's not easy being the middle child, and the Fujifilm X-E1 can surely attest to that. In the Fujifilm product hierarchy, it falls smack in the middle of the highly acclaimed X-Pro1 and the newly launched X-M1. The former is larger than the X-E1, but has ...

When Fujifilm released the X-E1 it's clear that the company has one thing in mind, and that is to polish some of the rough edges that critics pointed out on the X-Pro1. Well, they didn't have to do much as the X-Pro1 is already regarded by many as one of ...
Improved autofocus system, Manual dials for easy control, Good electronic viewfinder, High degree of clarity in images
AF point switching laborious, Auto ISO has no minimum shutter speed, Occasional color smearing in images, Difficult RAW workflow
