Roel.me (Click here) posted a first impression Fuji X-E1 test and included some image samples. He writes: “Fujifilm has done a very good job with the X-E1  – and it is attractively priced.  I know I have referred to the X-E1 as the X-Pro1′s “little brother” – and in some ways, that is an inaccurate description.  The X-E1 is every bit as capable and I suspect the X-Pro1 may get a little jealous with all of the attention the X-E1 is about to receive.  One has to love sibling rivalry.”

Popco posted a set of X-E1 images. Some of them are so well made that it really makes you want to get the camera today :)

Quick fujifilm XF18-55mm F2.8-4.0 R LM OIS lens hands-on at Cnet Asia: “we found it comparable with most 18-55mm kits lenses in terms of speed. However, images were very sharp, and the F4 aperture at the long end does give a more pleasing background blur than most kit lenses.”

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18 mm f/2 R test at Lenstip: “You can honestly say the Fujinon XF 18 mm f/2R is a well done lens, fully recommendable to those users who understand what they are buying and what the limits of such a purchase are.”

The recently released Fuji X PRO 1 firmware update increased the autofocus performance. ThePhoBlographer compared it with the superfast AF from the Olympus E-M5. Keep in mind that the E-M5 uses a smaller Four Thirds sensor which also increases the DOF and consequently makes it a bit easier to get things in focus.

And here it is the next cool video made by the guys from TheCameraStoreTV. They tested the new XF1 compact camera. Watch it! ;)
