Thread: Meet the Fuji X-E1

From the leaked images, it's safe to say that the Fuji X-E1 uses the same Fuji XF mount as the Fuji X-Pro 1. It appears to have an EVF but lacks an OVF/hybrid viewfinder.

The second image shows the X-E1 with the previously announced image stabilized 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens. Here's another shot of that lens:

Assuming that Fuji is able to offer the X-E1 at a significantly lower price point than the X-Pro 1, the new camera should attract a lot of users.

No VF, or EVF only? And do I see a pop a flash on the top plate next to the hotshoe? Looks like there is something on the backside's uper left corner which could be the eyepiece of an EVF.

"As you can see from the pictures and the computer-translated text, there is no viewfinder (unlike the X-Pro1)"

There looks like there is an EVF, they probably mean there's no Optical VF unlike the XPro 1.

I was editing the first post when you replied. Definitely looks like an EVF to me. Overall, body looks very close to X-Pro 1 size.

Interesting.....
If the EVF refresh rate has improved, then its certainly a nice option.
Price too of course. :)

Nice to see Fuji's interpretation of a kit zoom. Aspherical and faster on the wide and long end as compared to what kit lenses usually are.

Not to mention much more expensive and possibly not offered as part of a kit .

Looking good... (makes a new addition to her wishlist)

Thanks for the headsup on this, Amin. do we think its going to be announced at Photokina next month?

I hope the form factor is closer to the X100. When I look at the size of the mount compared to the body, it does seem a bit more compact than the X-Pro1, don't you think?

So, one presumes that the aperture is adjusted using a dial on the rear of the camera in the absence of a ring on the lens (as per the three existing primes).
