Review of Fuji X-E1 on DPReview

DPReview just published a review of Fuji X-E1. While the conclusion is very much in line with a "common knowledge" about the camera, it is very solid block of information from people who handle and test essentially every current camera except for low end point-and-shoot models. The test shorts and sample photos are also available. I am a bit surprised with the described "camera/button freeze" 'cause my X-E1 behaves just fine. Maybe it is just faulty camera.

I am agree with their opinion on panorama and movie mode. I like panorama on Fuji X10 but cannot get the same smoothness with the X-E1. The banding in skies is quite strong in panoramas from X-E1. The movie… Let's say, I do not shoot movie much.

Some ambiguous rumors are floating around the web regarding a new X camera with interchangeable from Fuji in April this year. It can be just an echo of predictions for 2013 published in Japan. It is a wild web :) It would be logical for Fujifilm to add a more affordable body in class of E-P3 or NEX-5, with the zoom kit priced around $1000 or slightly below.
