I bought this camera looking for a lighter alternative to my Canon DSLR for hiking, backpacking and general travel photography. We did a week+ trip to the Rocky Mountains, and I put it through all the paces camping and backpacking. I've also used it for some portraiture work and flower photography.

Focusing Can Be Slow

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 waste the valuable film.

The only camera I know that has a depth of field scale in the finder for zoom lenses

Well built; great quality

none really

When Fujifilm launched the X-Pro1 in Australia a year ago it emphasised that it was a "first camera option", meaning it wasn't intended to merely supplement a D-SLR, but to replace it completely. The price tag – similar to that of a higher-end D-SLR – helped underline the X-Pro1's frontline status.

I got mine used for a bargain price and I would never buy it new or any other fuji. The image quality and dynamic range are astonishing the details you get from shadow and highlight in lightroom is comparable to my nikon d610.

Amazing camera.Really love it for Portraiture. Focus peaking is excellent for manual focus and camera is a joy to use.

The best mirror less ILC system available. Quality is superb. All metal construction. Smooth operting lens with excellent image quality. Highly recommended.

Expand the normal sensitivity range from ISO200-6400 to ISO100, 12800 or even ISO25600. In dynamic lighting conditions, you can now set a sensitivity ceiling within the range of ISO400-6400 and keep the camera on ISO Auto.
