And
In requiring a period of familiarisation from the get go
It's less easy for newbies to get to grips with than the likes of the XA1
High-quality stills, Very responsive, Outstanding EVF
Bit of learning curve, Fixed-position LCD not touch capable, Uneven exposures in some movie clips
We're fans of the X-series, even with the flaws noted here. Colors and white balance are very accurate, with a richness, tone, and depth that are quite impressive. Fujifilm wants a premium price for its better models and we can't begrudge the company fo...

Improvements over the earlier X-E1 seem to be largely performance based, and come down to enhanced speed and accuracy – Fuji hasn't thrown the baby out with the bathwater. That said, if you're considering spending this amount then we'd also recommend taki...
If you've been a fan of Fujifilm's rangefinder-style mirrorless offerings, but you've held off for whatever reason, your time has come. There's no one glaring reason we can point to that might kill the experience for still photography enthusiasts.That sai...
Video is the only weak area, though, and it's unlikely to dissuade many potential customers. The X-E2's only real problem is the strength of the competition among its own X Mount ranks. £1,149 for the 18-55mm kit is a serious investment, but we'd be tempt...
The Fujifilm X-E2 is very well equipped for the enthusiast photographer at whom it is targeted and, in many ways, its the camera we wish the X-E1 had been. Fujifilm has addressed the concerns many had with the earlier model, like the ageing 2.8in. 460,00...

The Fujifilm X-E2 gets plenty right. Although, ultimately, it's a subtle upgrade compared to its predecessor. If you're after a CSC that's all about image quality then look little further. We also love the hands-on layout of the build, and both ret...

The new X-Trans CMOS II sensor, onboard Wi-Fi and slightly reworked controls make the Fujifilm X-E2 a nice update of the X-E1, even though it doesn't bring any radical changes. It remains an expert's interchangeable lens compact that takes excellent quali...

Abstract: Why hello there good lookin'. The Fujifilm X-E2, the compact system camera to succeed the earlier X-E1 model, may be a little older but it's lost none of that retro charm and visual appeal. That's clear from just taking one glance at this silver-topped ma...

Along with many photographers, I liked the X-E1. It offers the same image quality as the superb X-Pro1 in a smaller body and has what I consider the more useful of the two viewfinders - the electronic finder, which has been improved so that it's better in...
