Fujifilm X-E1

The X-E1 is Fujfilm's second mirrorless camera using the proprietary Fujifilm X mount. It is essentially a lower-end, somewhat physically smaller version of the X-Pro1, leaving off the hybrid viewfinder.

Notes: In terms of image quality and virtually every performance specification, the same as the X-Pro1. The X-Pro1 is a larger camera body and has an optical/electronic hybrid viewfinder; the X-E1 has a small built-in flash the X-Pro1 doesn't have. The difference in price is enough that most people would pick the X-E1 over the X-Pro1, as the price differential isn't really justified by the features/performance. Like the X-Pro1, the X-E1 isn't really the camera of choice for someone who needs to shoot video and stills in the same body. The video format choices are highly limited, and the performance doesn't match that of some other mirrorless cameras.
