The Fujifilm X-M1 successfully brings the X-system to a wider audience, being smaller, lighter and significantly cheaper than the X-E1 whilst offering a newer processor, built-in wireless connectivity and a tilting LCD screen. The main sacrifice is the l...

The Fujifilm X-M1 is an interesting development in the X-series and provides the opportunity for those who hanker after the style and performance of the X-E1, but at a more affordable price. With the concurrent launch of a quality kit lens, a telephot...
While the X-M1 is Fujifilm's 'low-end' X-Trans mirrorless camera, it sure doesn't feel like it. It doesn't have the electronic viewfinder, metal body, and a few relatively minor features from the X-E1 (which, by the way, only costs $100 more), but the...

Buying Guide Best compact system camera There's plenty to like about the Fuji X-M1, and it's good to see Fuji thinking about a more mass market audience by introducing a more affordable model. That said, this is only more affordable by Fuji's terms, so yo...
Abstract: While we were producing this review Fujifilm announced its fourth X-Series camera, the X-A1, an entry-level model with a standard CMOS sensor. Before purchasing the X-M1 it might be worth having a look at the lower priced X-A1 which appears to be virtuall...
Abstract: DateAugust 15, 2013 (0) Read later This 16-megapixel compact-system camera is the latest in Fujifilm's X range. The sensor, with the low pass filter removed to improve sharpness, is the same as used in the more expensive X-Pro 1 and X-E1. The...
JPEG images are excellent and RAW pictures are stellar. Colour, sharpness and tonality are all outstanding. There is a reassuring consistency to shots, meaning that metering, auto white balance and autofocus are always spot on
The zoom mechanism of the kit lens is stiff and gritty it is inconsistent with the general construction quality of the camera
The Sony NEX cameras have similar specifications; the Samsung NX is a cheaper alternative but not up to Fujifilm's X-M1 image quality; the Sony NEX-6, for the same price as the Fujifilm, has a fine electronic viewfinder built in. But then the X-M1 has one...
