These cameras give you all of the benefits of the extra sharpness due to dropping the use of a de-mosaicing filter, as well as Fuji's unparallelled control over colour styles. Compared with the XE1 which I have used for years, the single point AF is very fast and accurate, but I would not recommend this camera for its continuous AF. Manual AF is by wire, so not ideal. You might as well get a cheap legacy lens + dumb adapter if you are going to do Manual (i.e. macros, portraits). With smaller lenses it is small and light enough to fit into a Parka pocket. Be sure you get the updated Fuji firmware. It enhances AF speed and a wide range of functions. You can control ISO, SS, and Aperture as well as use a very useful auto setting. It has about 70 phase detect centre AF points. If you want to control all the settings and are confident in your capacity to shoot quickly and follow the action yourself, you do not need all the bells and whistles of the later models. It has the same sensor as the X100S.Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
What a great camera. I upgraded from the XE 1 and love the new one. Image quality is stunning, the new viewfinder and rear screen are a big improvement on the old one. Most people "don't get" the Fuji X series cameras. It is about analogue controls, being small and unobtrusive and producing stunning results. Especially at high ISOs. At ISO 6400 the camera produces very fine pictures with little noise and making the built in flash obsolete. I bought mine from Hong Kong and it came with a manual in English and an Australian charger. The BUY IT NOW price was heaps better than local prices and was under a $1K so there was no GST. It came via FedEx and arrived in 3 days.
