The Fujifilm X-E1 is a camera that takes professional-level photos! It's very well built. The X-E1 has the same high quality image sensor as the Fuji X-Pro1. I needed a camera to use outdoors for landscape and cityscape photography, and chose the X-E1 due to it's image quality and superb OLED type electronic viewfinder with approximately 2.36M dots of resolution - which is higher-resolution than the viewfinder on the Fuji X-Pro1. I use the X-E1 with two prime lenses, the Fujinon XF18mm F2 R lens (which is 27mm in the 35mm format equivalent), and the Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR lens (which is 53mm in the 35mm format equivalent) with both providing amazing detail and quick auto-focus precision. I added a fast 80MB/s Class 10 SDHC Memory Card to make data transfer at shooting time quick and responsive for the X-E1. For my purpose and budget, this camera performs very well. I recommend the Fujifilm X-E1 to photographers that may be on a tight budget, but still want professional quality.Read full review

When I first got this camera, I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed. After all, my previous pick of the litter was a FinePix so there's a huge upgrade. After a couple of hours of playing around...I became thoroughly shook. I knew as soon as the box arrived that I wouldn't regret dropping five hundred bucks on this puppy. It's durable, solid, a little heavy (which I like) and is absolutely comfortable in the hands. The interchangeable lens feature is genius and I never realized how much I would like it (especially since my last camera kicked the bucket over the lens breaking.) The ability to customize every single detail is outstanding, and the save custom settings feature is even more so. I've never felt so in control...and a girl could get used to it. This feature blows me away because it means I can take on any form of light, and level of darkness, or any blown out exposure. Absolutely beautiful piece of equipment. Five hours into our relationship and I'm attached. I can only imagine that the further up the line these x-series go, the better they get (although I'm not sure you can get better than perfection.) My only complaint about the entire thing is a zoom feature, which isn't even about the camera but instead the lens, so it doesn't even count against this beast!Read full review

I needed a body to complement my X100 in the wide end and occasionally shoot with some longer lens, too. This camera fits the bill beautifully. The controls and and layout are similar, whole user interface is logical and pretty straightforward at least compared to some other modern digital bodies. So far been using XF 14mm and a Zuiko 24mm with this. The image quality with both is brilliant. Manual focusing with latter is well aided by the focus peak feature which you learn pretty quickly and works in most situations. It slows you down though, which isn't necessarily bad at all. Just some missed shots that you would have gotten with the X100. I shoot RAW but appreciate the high quality JPEGs - they actually save you quite a bit of time in the post. Low light capability of these Fuji's is stunning - Leica that I used to shoot is just a shadow of what this is capable of capturing. I'm still in the testing phase of this camera. So far EVF has been a pleasure except in some very bright situations. The eye cup is pretty small, which is good when you use glasses like I do, but lets some stray light in. Overall impressively capable, light and natural to use camera.Read full review
There's something special about the Fuji's interface and tactical exposure settings. I dig using the Q-menu to set up and use the custom settings: C1 - Velvia -1 Color ISO 100 C2 - Black and white ISO 100 C3- Provia ISO 100 ( If skin tones are involved) Working backwards so I remenber ( Overcast Day ) Now I just use top dial shutter speed to adjust exposure C7 - Velvia -1 Color ISO 400 DR = 200 C6 - Black and White ISO 400 DR = 200 C5 - Provia ISO 400 DR = 200 Of Course - I love the SOOC JPEGS

From the website fujivsfuji "With all the firmware upgrades Fuji have been so awesome to push out, the X-E1 is still a really capable camera, even in the face of its successor [the X-E2]." For many the X-E2 will be the preferred choice. The main reason is autofocus and EVF performance are superior in lowlight. As the fujivsfufi website states, "For someone looking to buy a camera to use primarily in decent to good light where they won’t be chasing youngsters around, the X-E1, especially at its discounted price, is an excellent buy. For those of you who are madly in love with the colour rendition of JPEGs in the X-E1, you might want to hold onto what you have and maybe even grab a backup X-E1 while you can. It appears Fujifilm certainly are tinkering with how exactly their film profiles are rendered as new cameras hit the scene." Since I fall into the group of JPEG shooters and take mostly travel pictures, the used X-E1 seemed like a great value.Read full review
