Highlights

  • An early X-series rangefinder-style camera with a 16MP X-Trans sensor and retro controls.
  • A hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder in a compact body aimed at street photographers.
  • Dated contrast-detect autofocus and Full HD video, but prized for its handling and color.

Who it's for

The Fujifilm X-E1 is a 16.3MP APS-C mirrorless camera, a versatile all-rounder. Here's where it fits and what to keep in mind.

Keep in mind

  • !No in-body stabilisation — you'll lean on stabilised lenses for slow handheld shots.
  • !Single card slot — no in-camera backup, which matters for critical paid jobs.
  • !Not weather-sealed — take care in rain and dust.
