Call us fans of new Fujifilm cameras such as the X-M1, especially those using variations of the X-Trans CMOS APS-C sensor. We really like the image quality – the photos are just plain good. Specific to our review sample, it has all the tweaks serious ph...

Those keen amateur photographers who up until now had been considering an Olympus Pen for its ‘old fashioned' levers and dials, or even a Leica at a push, will perhaps now want to take a closer look at what Fuji is offering these days, and in the case of...
With the success of Fujis X-Pro1 and X-E1, the X-M1 was always likely to be the next logical step for the company. It has all the classic looks and stylish design we have come to expect from the X series, and includes the same excellent sensor as used in...
The mirrorless Fujifilm X-M1 features a big APS-C image sensor that's capable of capturing some excellent images, but it's just a little slow to focus and fire....

When it comes to the visuals the Fujifilm X-M1 is a winner. The images this camera can produce mean serious business - they're among the best from any compact system camera that we've yet seen. That's big-screen star points scored there. But the pr...
Retro styling, Solid build quality, Good results provided by X-Trans sensor
High price-tag, No viewfinder or option for one, No touchscreen
What the X-M1 may be lacking in specification - as well as in the value stakes - it more than makes up for it with striking design and the standard of image quality. If you're in the market for an entry-level CSC, it's well worthy of consideration....

The Fujifilm X-M1 may not be the speediest camera on the block or the most Wi-Fi savvy. However, picture quality is breathtaking at all ISO settings—even with Fuji's kit lens, which is surprisingly good. The X-M1 runs circles around its competitors and se...
