Fujifilm XF1 Review

 

The enthusiast compact camera segment has seen a lot of action. It started with pocketable cameras featuring a slightly larger sensor than the standard 1/2.3-inch type along with fully manual controls and support for RAW (for instance, the Canon...

The XF1 can shoot videos at up to full HD at 30 fps. Other resolutions include 1280 x 720 and 640 x 480 (both at 30 fps). High speed shooting is also allowed, but at lower resolutions—320 x 112 at 200 fps, 320 x 240 at 120 fps and 640 x 480 at 70 fps....

Fujifilm XF1 (Black)

 

There are camera designs people tolerate in order to get the features and performance they want. Likewise, there are good-looking cameras that aren't necessarily the best performers. The Fujifilm XF1 falls somewhere in the middle, mixing an overall...

The Fujifilm XF1 looks great and can be a lot of fun to shoot. It has a fast f1.8 maximum aperture and captures in raw and raw plus JPEG. It also has a healthy selection of shooting options and a good control layout.

Some of its best photos come at the cost of control and resolution. The lens gets much slower when zoomed in. There's no option to add an external flash or viewfinder.

The Fujifilm XF1 is one of the nicest-looking point-and-shoots available and it performs well, too. But its photos and features might not please some enthusiasts.

Fujifilm FinePix XF1

 

Fuji makes a few missteps in trying to bring the prestigious X-series to the masses.

Image quality just as good as the Fuji X10; Beautiful retro-inspired looks

Quirky lens design is a swing and a miss; Video shooting is an afterthought

We started this review by asking the question: Can the XF1 bring Fujifilm’s rehabilitated brand to the masses? Really, what we were asking was: Can the XF1 compete on even footing in the marketplace with Canon’s S110 and Panasonic LX7, or even Sony’s...

Fujifilm XF1

 

The Fujifilm XF1 has a compact body with a retro design that is emphasized by the optional black, brown or red artificial leather and the matte metal finish. The camera doesn't have an on/off switch but is activated by turning the lens ring on the...

elegant and stylish body in retro design ; large image sensor, good image results with low color noise ; sharp images with high resolution

missing optical or electronic viewfinder (only LCD screen as viewfinder) ; missing focus ring on the lens for direct manual focusing

Fujifilm XF1 Review

 

After a swag of complex, interesting and somewhat challenging digicams passed over my review desk, I felt I deserved a holiday. So I fell upon this new, aluminium-bodied Fujifilm model as an example of what you can find out there: small, pocketable,...

Fantastic Camera!

 

Delightful camera! Best features of an SLR put into a compact case which fits easily into your pants pocket. No longer a need to wander around with a bulky SLR hanging on a strap around your neck. Takes about 15 minutes to get used to the unique method...

Quality of photos and video in low light without flash, compactness

Nothing. Wish list would be for a greater zoom range

Best camera with a superb sensor

 

Contrary to the moronic reviews before this, I have played with this camera at photokina and it is a superb camera for what it is intended to do. Takes great photos and fits in your pocket looking pretty. Fuji is a great company having started creating...

Outstanding Camera. Better photos than RX100

 

Contrary to the moronic reviews before this, I own this camera. Built quality is outstanding Sony RX100 does not even come close to it. Photo quality beats RX100 easily (which I also own). Low light performance outdo RX100. After testing XF1 my Sony...

That price

 

The problem is Apple sold over 5 million Iphone 5's. With an Iphone having an 8mp sensor and fast processing (also wifi/3g) I can't see why anyone would want an over priced camera with low specs. This product would be a camera I would have on me at all...
