The Fujifilm XF1 is a classically styled camera with a beautiful retro design that can't fail to impress everyone that sees it. In an age where digital cameras are virtually ubiquitous, the Fujifilm XF1 stands out by a country mile thanks to it uniquely clean styling and solid build quality, not to...

With camera -incorporating smartphones eviscerating the market for simpler snapshots, Fuji is another manufacturer reacting by going high-end. The XF1 is the latest in its gorgeously retro styled ‘X' series of premium-build compacts.

Awesome camera with great design. I brought this camera to banff and had lots of amazing photo done with it. Good size for travelling and great photo quality. (of course can't compare to DSLR) Really satisfy with it!! Recommended to purchase an extra battery.

Very good jpeg shooter capturing lots of detail. A great camera that is very capable in it's own right and as a great training camera for those who want to learn about post processing in jpeg and raw. I added a tripod, extra class 10 SD cards and extra batteries. Carumba!

many dslr options like raw capture

this camera was utter rubbish, i will never buy it

Retro styling; Sharp lens; Wide aperture at 25mm; Manual zoom lens; Collapsible lens design; Low image noise; Raw support

Expensive; Small aperture when zoomed in; Limited zoom range; No viewfinder or hot shoe; Loud focus

The retro styling makes this a very cool camera. I have only used it on two occasions, and what i see is that it takes better pictures on the day time, and at night, there are a lot of out of focus images. At night taking more then one shot of any subject is a good idea.

Beautiful camera, and very solid except for the lens barrel which seems a bit flimsy when extended. It can take fantastic photos, but I do find the camera quirky and sometimes prone to blowing exposure or giving you results you weren't expecting. It's a decent pocketable camera, and I bought it...
