![]() People who are use to seeing DSLR’s won’t even treat you as a serious photographer, which is great in a public area. It just feels so balanced, compact, and plain out portable making it very inconspicuous. The X-E1 has that really nice handy feel to it. ↑ Here’s a back view comparison between the X-E1 and the X100.įor you Leicaphiles out there, think of the Fuji X-E1 as a M6 pre-TTL or an M3 body, and think of the X-Pro1 as an M9 body because that’s how I think of it. ↑ Here’s a front view comparison between the X-E1 and the X100. ↑ The X-E1 with the XF 18mm F2.0 R lens make a great combo! Compact, powerful, fast, and unobtrusive! The 18mm also makes the X-E1 feel like an X100 in terms of size and feel. ![]() ↑ Here’s a top view comparison between the X-E1 and the X-Pro1. ↑ Here’s a back view comparison between the X-E1 and the X-Pro1. ↑ Here’s a front view comparison between the X-E1 and the X-Pro1. However, it also retains the same handy feel of the X100. With the XF 18mm F2.0 R lens attached, the X-E1 becomes an X100 on steroids albeit slightly bulkier. In fact, a better comparison would be between the X-E1, and the X100, since the X-E1 is actually a lot closer in size to the X100. The X-Pro1 is not a big camera but after a few days of using the X-E1, I went back to the X-Pro1 to try it out, and the X-E1 actually made it feel bulky. While I love the X-Pro1, I have to admit that this is what I wanted Fuji to build in terms of size. The Fuji X-E1 is a lot smaller than the X-Pro1, which makes it absolutely a perfect fit in my hands. With the battery and memory card, the X-E1 weighs only 350 g. That doesn’t sound like much but trust me, it is in the real world. ![]() So, how’s the Fuji X-E1 built? How does the X-E1 compare to the X-Pro1? Well, according to Fuji, the body of the X-E1 is about 30% smaller than it’s bigger brother. So let’s get down to this review, and to do that, we have to start talking about the build quality of the camera. But a cheaper, smaller, faster camera with X-Pro1-like quality for under $1000? How is this even possible? Well, one thing you don’t have to worry about the new Fuji X-E1 definitely came prepared because it is packing a lot of heat named X-Trans to do battle in the very competitive world of mirrorless cameras. Fuji needed to do something about this so they created the X-E1, which is Fuji’s way to finally enter a more mainstream audience an audience that was once ruled by the Sony’s, and the OM-D’s of the world. When Fuji released the X-Pro1, it was very well received but unfortunately, it was priced a bit higher than other competing mirrorless cameras. The kit zoom is $700 alone, which means that you can save $300 on the zoom if you buy the kit. The most important piece of news that I heard about the X-E1 was that it was going to cost just under a $1000, which means that it’s basically 40% cheaper than the X-Pro1! Best of all is that if you buy the X-E1 with the kit zoom, the whole package costs just under $1400. ![]() To top that off, the X-E1 was also going to come with a nice kit zoom ( XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 R lens can be bought separately as well). For instance I read that the new Fuji X-E1 was going to have the same exact wonderful sensor as the X-Pro1 yet the body was actually going to be smaller than the X-Pro1. Hey Everyone! I have with me here today the much anticipated Fuji X-E1! I must admit, when I first heard news that Fujifilm was going to make a cheaper alternative to the wonderful X-Pro1 (you can read my review), I had no plans to purchase one because I was completely content with my X-Pro1.īut like many photographers, and gear nuts out there, I began doing a little more research, which btw is usually bad for my wallet ).
