Review of Fuji X-E1 by Thom Hogan


Thom Hogan had published his review of Fuji X-E1. Interestingly, his traditional basketball shot shows significant amount of color bleeding, more than I see in occasional road signs in my photos (white on red combination is prone to color smearing in images from X-Trans sensor). Maybe it is due to high iso used for indoor shots.

As usual, it is a good and fair review, with pluses and minuses of the camera and the whole system. Also, Thom apparently has some "insider" info on forthcoming Fuji "X-Pro2". He indicated that the successor of X-Pro1 may have non-fixed screen. The replacement of X-Pro1 is also expected to be available in 2013. Hopefully, Fujifilm will improve a continuous autofocus on the new model. The technology is there, as demonstrated by Nikon 1 V1.

I am surprised to see that Thom gets 300 pictures on X-E1 on single battery. While I have not done careful counting, 200-ish is more realistic expectation for my "real world" shooting.
