  • Fuji X-E1 – perfect mirrorless camera?

    Looking good on the previews:

    the sensor looks spot on as does the prime lenses and the zoom looks like its going to be a cracker too.

    EVF same as the nex 6/7

    Not sure I can see any downs really esp. As it has a Velva setting!

    It does look good. I was hoping for a vulva setting also… oh, you mean velvia? 😉 (sorry, couldn’t resist)

    Must admit, the whole mirrorless camera thing is really a fabulous development.

    I just got shot of the last of my DSLR stuff and am loving the NEX 7, esp with legacy nikkors. The 180AIS 2.8 is staggeringly good and focus peaking a triumph for technology.

    They all seem really good, and I admit the Fuji looks an absolute ripper.

    had a google and does look interesting but too expensive, cant justify buying one to replace my oly epm1, its great and is pocketable on the bike with a 20mm lens and a fraction of the cost for a mirrorless camera

    Damn iPhone and fat fingers! Yes velvia….sweet.

    Velvia – is the best slide film ever produced.

    Fuji ticks all the right boxes for me I think.

    The Sony nex camera looks great but the lenses available seem to let it down unless you buy the 1 and only zeiss lens.

    I have the XE-1. A great camera but there are issues processing the RAW files (but the JPEGs are great)

    Howarthp – what other cameras have you had to compare it too?

    @Rik – I have an M9 and a D800. I bought the XE-1 as it is so light, the lenses are fantastic quality and it has good low light performance

    Awesome news howarthp :0) just the news I was after.

    Looking at the x-e1 with kit zoom and a 35mm f1.4 to start with. Looking forward to the zeiss 12mm f2.8 next year too.

    I don’t have the kit lens but do have the current 3 primes – all very good
