- I get asked almost weekly to try out the Fujifilm X-E1, and I finally did! Thanks to Kevin for loaning me the camera and giving me the chance. Super cool camera. Amazing shutter sound. Logical controls. Great image quality straight from the camera. It was an awesome experience using it, and I can see why people really get into these cameras.

I just watched it, dude thanks for that ending there! Just made my day❤️
Thanks for letting me use your baby! GL on your channel!
For me it feels like cameras has peaked at 2010-2012 for an average user. After that it's just some minor incremental updates each year, like faster shooting speed, faster AF, higher megapixels etc... but the quality of each photo came from those newer cameras still the same as those in 2010 like this XE1.
Yeah I got 5D3 D800 and XE1 back then, still shoot them and no urge to change. Bodies and lenses from back then are good enough for photos
“Should you buy X-E1?” … Are you kidding?! YES, you should! The X-Trans sensor Gen1 CAN NOT BE beat! The colours produced by this decade old camera are incredible. I have TWO of these cameras :) Got them for $280 and $200 CAD respectively - so cheap! 😁
Good buys! well done.
It's just amazing the camera you can get for ~$300 nowadays. Who's shooting Fuji out there?
This used to be just a 100 eur a year ago. Prices of Fujis shot up in the past year!
@@ShutterKnack as always, I'm late to the game 😆
Sold my X-T3 and X-E1 for an X100V, Pentax K3 Classic, and the Sony A7R3 with the Sigma 35mm f2.
I still miss my X-E1, especially when I am trying to manually focus my K3... But then I pick up the K3 and remember how perfect it is.
@@ShutterKnack Yeah, I bought my X-E1 for $140CAD including a 75mm 1.4 Cosmicar C-mount lens.
@@snappiness it'll come back down.. I hope! 😅
Just a warning to others as this is a lovely video and some nice shots in there.
I got sucked into the sensor hype for these "older" x mount Fujis (the much venerated XE2-S, of which I thankfully got a good deal on I was able to recoup when I resold ) and was just constantly frustrated. Yes the colours are nice (but what modern camera isn’t) but only when the wildly fluctuating white balance and subpar dynamic range didn’t try it’s best to ruin every other shot - particularly in low light or paired with vintage lenses it was a miserable experience.
By contrast, I never had the same issue with an X-S10 and the same lenses I also owned at the time which is far less romantically described but produced much better results for me.
Very interesting to hear your opinion, as I have the Sexy One and the XS-10, and am currently looking to get a XT1 for the second generation X-Trans sensor. I agree with you that the image quality of the XS-10 is objevctivley better, it's also faster, and has a lot of nice extras, but I think you might be missing the point of the Sexy One. If you ever shot film, you will understand the limitations that you mentioned above as mere kinks that you have to learn to shoot around. I have slowly grown into understanding the camera to the point that I can use it now in ways that work in my favor, and which allow me to take pictures with texture and life that is impossible to accomplish with the XS-10. Like Miles Davies said "Sometimes it's the notes you don't play." I like the XS-10 very much, and will probably get better at shooting with it over time. But the relationship I have with the Sexy One is different. It's personal.
I primarily shoot film, which made those cameras even more frustrating! Glad you’re enjoying it though @@alexmarinica5310
@@alexmarinica5310 Awesome comment Alex and I concur wholeheartedly, albeit not having had the chance to shoot with the XS-10. I have owned several Fuji cameras, and now down to two, my XE-1, and XT-1. Both bought brand new, after about a year into production. One just needs to know how to shoot with the ‘Sexy One.’ Plain and simple.
As Alex says, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but yours seems a bit off base to me, with regards to the XE-1. No, it’s not the fastest, newest, highest resolution 16K shooting machine.
🙄 If used by someone that will take the time to learn how it works and what it can do and not do, it can produce some of the finest shots around.
@@georgedavall9449 Yep it certainly is very capable and I’m sure folk have taken some great shots with them but for me the shortcomings (especially when paired with vintage lenses) was too much to overcome.
Was mostly providing a different experience and a warning to others not to get gear lust over these (my opinion!) over hyped, older fuji sensors and bodies. For me it had potential to be a massive waste of money if I hadn’t been able to resell it for what I originally paid.
I enjoy your ‘unbiased reviews’. They are so refreshing. Please keep it up.
Thank you for watching and letting me know 😀
That last picture of the forest with the reflection on the water was breath taking, beautiful, and inspiring. I wish I lived in an area that I don't have to drive far to get to a place where there is lots of beautiful scenes.
I've owned one of these since mid 2019, when i picked it up for around $220CAD ($170USD.)
Excellent camera for that price! Paired with the 27mm pancake lense, or any of my old Minolta MD primes, it's really nice to shoot!
I feel the same way about my X-T1! Not the same sensor, but a great camera and on that one I find that the exposure compensation has enough room on the larger grip not to get knocked. Really like shooting Auto ISO on the X-T1 using the exposure comp.
I remember looking at the X-T1 years ago. Looks like a great camera! In some ways I think I would prefer that form factor, but I really got along with the X-E1 more rangefinder style body more than I thought.
Beautiful images, and excellent opinion from a users perspective. I've adapted my own Auto 110 lenses to my XT3 recently and found much the same thing- I love how they render. So much so, that I've been researching smaller cameras like the XE1 to create more of pocketable "on the go" setup.
I have both the X-M1 & X-E1 for the original sensor, they are so cheap I thought it was a bit of a no brainer to have and keep them for the future as they become harder to find. I like to go out with 2 cameras a 24MP like the XPro2 or XE3 for speed and features plus one of the originals for the different look maybe with a vintage lens. X-E2 is my favourite older model.
That photo of the bike with the sunset and clouds in portrait orientation is incredible. Out of the gates I’m ALREADY looking for it
Lovely video and sample images. After road testing Fujifilm's system with the X-20 as my daily carry I quickly acquired an X-E1 as my first real digital Fujifilm with removable lenses, which came with the "kit" lens and the magical 35mm f/1.4. I've been hooked ever since, acquiring the X100S, X-T2, X-T3 and X-S10 along with various lenses. I use the X-T3 and X-S10 professionally for video work as the company has come a long way for hybrid shooters. But when I just want to grab a camera to wander around, or when I'm on holiday, I choose my X-E1 for that special something that its sensor offers.
Little did I know when I first got the X-E1 that it would be considered a classic digital camera and become much prized (and appreciate in price) a decade later.
Great review as always and wonderful photos...
Thank you, Michael!
I just spent a weekend shooting my xe1 with the 35mm xf f2. My xe1 real dial is faulty as it won't change the aperture etc but I'm always thrilled with the results it gives me. They are so cheap these days is worth buying one even to just adapt old vintage lenses. I also have the TTartisan 35mm f1.4 with is a fantastic lens for the money. Great review.
If that's the command dial on the rear, you can clean with an alcohol wipe and scroll it to clean electrical contacts. Mine has seized up
Amazing shots and a great review! :)
Thanks David, and thanks for checking it out! Such a fun camera to shoot with.
This made me want to set aside all the new stuff I've picked up lately and charge the battery for my X-E1. It really is a joyful camera to shoot with.
You have all the good stuff!! haha. One day I want to see a pic of your entire collection
Love using mine with the 18mm f2 lens. Great video :)
Awesome, beautiful photos and great video!
Thank you so much! :)
Beautiful shots! Amazing camera! Thanks for sharing! Definitely worth it!
It's a great camera! So grateful to Kevin for letting me use it!
I bought one of these a few months ago, to complement it with my X-T1. I'm really excited about it.😊😊😊😊
Sounds like a good combo!
Hey, happy to see you dwelve into the Fuji world !
If you're searching for the best/weirdest sensors in Fuji cameras, I definitely suggest that you look at the original X100 from 2011, and the X10 from about the same era. It's not an X-Trans sensor like the later X100 cameras and other X mount cameras yet, but the colors are really different and the image quality is surprisingly good for a sensor this old.
Also, since we're talking about old stuff, let's go a little older : Fujifilm S5 Pro, basically a Nikon D200 with a sensor swap. 10MP Super CCD sensor that not only has incredible colors, but also has a surprisingly high dynamic range for its age (it's still not close to modern standards, but it's way better than APS-C sensor were able to do at that time). Also it's super cheap for what it is.
Talking about the X-E1 specifically, I like the fact that the camera is cheap and the colors are wonderful, but there was a few issues that I had with it that makes its successor just so much more worth it in my opinion. First, there is some film simulations missing that I've grown to love from later cameras, like Classic Chrome. Not the biggest issue mind you. My only real gripe is the fact that the focus peaking with manual lenses is white only. Meaning that if you're shooting during a bright sunny day, you're screwed cause you can't see what's in focus and what isn't. On that front, the X-E2 added colors to the peaking, like red, blue and yellow so that's one issue fixed.
I WOULD like to recommend the X-E2, as it is basically the same camera just with teh X-Trans II instead of the X-Trans I (the difference between those two sensors is really marginal, the only notable difference that I've been able to spot was the fact that the X-Trans II has a slightly warmer tone, but I actually like that. Otherwise it has lower noise levels, better autofocus, and of course all the new film sims and features that the 2nd gen processor brings). But there is another X-Trans II camera that is around the same price (at least in my country) as the X-E2 and offers a LOT more features : The flagship of the time, the X-T1. Notable improvements over the X-E2 are : UHS-II card slot that is separated from the battery compartment, so you can burst with fast card without an issue. HUGE OLED EVF that is on par with modern EVF despite being from 2014, the EVF that made me forget DSLR OVFs for a while. Tilty screen. Better ergonomics (presence of an ISO dial, more buttons etc). Weather sealing (the camera is actually very rugged despite the small size)
I've had many Fuji camera over the years (currently using an X-T2 as my main camera) but the X-T1 is for me the best camera in its pricepoint, by a long shot, I highly recommend you give it a try.
Both of those cameras really intrigue me - especially the X10 which has retained a lot of value (must be a reason!).
Fujifilm's S Pro's have been in my watch alerts for a while. I definitely plan on picking one up eventually and trying it out. I have a special place in my heart for DSLRs :D
That sound like huge upgrades for the X-E2 - the focus peaking I thought was actually quite good, and as I shot the camera the whole time with manual glass I relied on it heavily. The colors would be an upgrade there though. Everything else you're mentioning sounds great - and only for a marginal price increase on the used market.
Thanks for the advice!
@@snappiness the reason the X10 kept so much of its value is quite simple : The lens ! The lens on that camera is a jewel (something I can't really say about the X100's lens)
@@matthieuzglurg6015 fascinating - really looks like a great camera. I love finding cameras that have been a little bit overlooked by all but the astute. I may just have to pick one up one day ..
The X-S1 also is a forgotten camera. It has the sensor of the X10 and a huge EVF same as the one in x100. It has a 24-624mm equivalent..
Was debating between gf1 and gx1 then I saw this and well it's done now got a xe1 and a 35 f2 on the way....good work man
SOOC. Lovely to see you giving Fuji some love.
It was about time! 😀
I’ve got a X-A10, with a Bayer sensor in it. Love these older Fujifilm cameras!
Impressive little camera! Lovely set of images shot using it.
Thanks Lee!
If you can find an EF mount focal reducer, it is the perfect investment to pair with the X-E1. The EF among film cameras have one of the shortest flange distance a which can be adapted to a plethora of film lenses including PK, OM, and F meanwhile maintaining the FOV of 135mm film cameras.
Another route to go, is adapting PEN-F film prime lenses, as they are the perfect match for APS sensors.
Cool vid sir and lovely images. Have an XE-1 and an X10. Love them both and would never part with them.
Having just grabbed one as my first try at Fuji bodies, I see why people consider it the entry point! Within minutes I was getting fantastic JPGs SOOC. Barely touch them back on the workstation, which is the entire reason I wanted to get one.
What really surprised me though is how perfect it feels in the hand. I have an a7Rii and A7c. I love them both and while I have to tell them to get out of the way a bit, they're amazing cameras. But the Fuji... It felt like picking up a piece of history. Sony is big tech in a camera form, the Fuji is absolutely a photography tool with a tech back end. You know a body is a good fit when you find yourself just wandering over to pick it up for no reason ha. Just like "dang, I love this little guy" 😂
I've had mine since 2015 and out of camera JPEGs were the reason why I sold of my Canon gear and stuck with it for all these years - I simply didn't care about the bells and whistles, this little thing was doing everything I wanted. I got the 18-55 and 55-200, both amazing lenses, and the 27mm, which I barely used since it's not really my style. Other than that, I use an old Canon FD 50mm with an extension tube for vintage look and macro, and I'm doing just fine.
@ I ended up having to return mine due to dead pixels that KEH missed. Luckily they make returns easy and I got to use it for a few months before sending it back. Great little camera, though. I really enjoyed it while I had it.
I ended up getting a really really good deal on a first generation Lecia Q, though, so I never went back to the Fuji. The Leica does JPG straight out of camera really well too, but it comes attached to that brilliant Summilux 28/1.7 lens.
I'm definitely going to pick up another X-E1 eventually too, though. I ride bikes/scooters around NYC and its the only camera I've ever used that you can totally dangle off your wrist going 25 mph in traffic ha.
The only thing I wish from my old good xe1 is a firmware update to reassign more buttons like on xe2s. I own both of them, but for some magical reasons I'm getting better shots with xe1.
Thx 4video, lovely camera
Thanks!
I have all three camera bodies because of the original x-trans sensor. I use Voigtlander M lenses on my Xpro1 and M42 lenses while doing hyperfocal distance focusing on my X-E1. My X-M1 is the only one that has the original Fujifilm 27mm pancake, for quick shots when needed when im out in the field, especially when driving around town and notice a quick shot. I shoot raw and use Capture One and it is a joy. You can preset using the Fujifilm recipe in camera for a quick look in raw, then go back to post adjustments using presets one can purchase to load film simulations of your choice.
It is my main cam, the 7Artisan 50mm/f0.95 will arrive tomorrow. I have tested the X-E1 with a bunch of lenses, including some C Mounts with funny results regarding the image circle. I always thougt it is a good camera - especially for me as an old school photographer. But yesterday I have seen the pictures on a modern display! She is not good, she is *beep* amazing 😂👻😬👍🏻😍❤️❤️
My Xpro1 is still my favorite camera. I Love fujinon glass.
Thank you
Thanks a lot, really inspiring video)
Thanks for watching it!
I had the X-E1 before. Great camera! Only gripes are the EVF lags in lowlight and there's no red or blue focus peaking. I highly recommend the X-E2 or the X-T1.
The X-T1 is IMHO the best value Fuji. The EVF is so huuuge compared to the x-E2 and EVEN THE x-pro series.
Today, I only own an X-pro2 graphite with the XF 23mm f2. It's a camera I would never sell.
Beautiful :) I am getting a lot of comments about the XT1 being a good value, may look into that one as well eventually.
Found one for 100$ in mint condition as my xt2 main board gave up. Think I’m sticking with this one for a while now. Xtrans 1 supremacy 💯
Great find!!
I have this Camera paired with 16-55 f/2.8 or 35 mm f/1.4 or adapter minolta lenses ... i also have à x100f and the ricoh gr3 but i often take this Camera... it has a certain something. Very Light also ... i love it
You have a nice set of cameras there! Enjoy!
I would love to know which are your favorites cameras and why are the favorites. I hope you make a video about!
I am new to these lenses on Fujifilm. Just tried the 24mm on my XE4. I was wondering what lens focal length I should set it on the XE4? I tried setting it as 18mm. Although I did not get the super-wide picture, it did help to improve the vignetting.
Totally agree, Pentax and Fuji are the best
I used couple of Fuji the last one was the XE-2, I bought it mainly to try out the X-Trans sensor and it was very good, compared with my Pentax K3 the Fuji performed better especially in low light high ISO, and AF is fast, but I eventually gave up on Fuji for one reason, it was the handling. I found the Fuji was too light and front heavy due to lack of a usable grip and the "plasticky" build, even the top of the line including the media format model didn't quite match the Pentax. I felt physically tired using the Fuji, and the menu design was very slow and confusing to use, I heard XE-3 improved on that but I would not try again, and decided to stick with Pentax. Btw I don't like the fly-by-wire design of the lenses, I want positive and solid feedback Fuji doesn't have.
I still have the X-Pro1 and the X-M1. The sensor definitely has a unique look.
The X-M1 seems like a sleeper camera people overlook! I don't ever hear anyone talking about it, but looks like it has great features and that same great sensor.
@@snappiness The X-M1 was Fuji's toe into the consumer camera pool. Build quality isn't stellar, though mine has worked fine from new. It came with a 16-50 XC lens, kinda plasticky like the body, but decent image quality. I like in built flash on a compact camera, which the X-M1 has and the X-Pro1 lacks, and the tilt screen is useful. The lack of viewfinder, less so. They were never big sellers, and Fuji sold the kit off cheaply in the end, I paid £184 new, inc. lens. Like you say, definitely a sleeper if you can find one as folk tend to hang onto theirs as a street camera.
Basically, if youre broke or dont need a faster camera, this one is fantastic.
I was thinking "That's a HUGE camera body." And then I noticed the lens was actually from the old Pentax 110 SLR system. Interesting there's actually an adapter for those, and the lens has the coverage.
Awesome shots! Do you remember what film simulation you used?
I own several Olympus, Panasonic and even a couple of wonderful (and heavy) Nikons but since owning this Fuji I wonder how I could have done without it for years. Along with my Nikon D7200 it's the only camera I would never sell!
Being a former Pentaxian and now converted Fujierian, I have to agree with your last statement. The camera that tore me away from Pentax was the X-E2, which I still use as my everyday camera to this day. It is the same body as the X-E2, but has more film profiles (which are beautiful on the XTrans 2 sensor) and better auto autofocus. I haven't found a camera that beats the X-E2 in terms of 'feel' when you're using it. I do miss the large grip on my old, but still used K100D though! Fantastic camera to this day in the right lighting.
I've never regretted selling the X-Pro1 and moving to the X-E1. The optical VF of the X-Pro1 did nothing for me. The Fuji lenses are indeed very good but, alas, Fuji AF I've found to be less good. Most of the time the AF is adequate, even if a bit slow, but on all the Fuji cameras I've owned, they could miss focus occasionally - which is annoying!
Interesting! Still have yet to try a proper Fuji AF lens. One of these days I'll get something like the 27mm everyone raves about.
I have the X-E3. Use it with vintage glass only. It has a good feel in the hand, but I think the x-trans III sensor is not good for vintage glasses generally. Because of the pixel density or sensor stack thickness (or both) some very fine and sharp vintage lenses look awful on it with ghosting, aberrations and blurry mess with the fine details (while the same lenses are suprisingly sharp on my A7S). It is is like not even the same lens, night and day difference (I am surprised that you don't really talk about this issue. I don't think I ever want to shoot manual glass on high megapixel smaller that full frame sensor from now on) Also the sensor has good iso performance but at the expense that basically looses nice colors at around iso 4000 and above even in the raw files. I would rather have more noise to retain more color information than have it removed. DXO ai denoise is stunning with removing noise, would rather use that for the purpose.
It might be the case that the xtrans I and II are better with vintage lenses, that is why I am contemplating of trading my x-e3 for an X-T1 the only sensible option for me. (I hate the small evf on my x-e3).
I really get the feel that a fuji gives you, but I personally think that the film simulations are over-hyped. Only Astia seems to be acceptable for me when it comes to skin tones, the rest never pleases me, I think lightroom has much better built in presets for any camera.
So hopefully I can borrow an x-t1 for someone to see if I would want one.
Maybe it's just because the xtrans 1 was 16mp, so the pixel density is much lower? I do get that though. I use a lot of vintage glass on my 10mp APSC Pentax K10D, or in my FF k-1, but haven't really been fond of it on my higher megapixel APSC cameras. I never really made that connection before and I'm not sure if it's that or not. But interesting.
In any case I was fond of these vintage lenses on the XE1. No complaints there.
This was my experience using vintage lenses on these older sensors too. Was incredibly disappointed, broke the spell for me almost instantly.
Brilliant! - which lens has the swirly bokeh?
They all exhibit it to some degree, but I think the 70mm does it best. 👍
China hit gold with the ttartisan 35mm 1.4 its a fantastic lens for cheap
❤️
Hey, which camera should i buy for 400€? I already have canon fd glass. The camera should have an tilt Display
I also have been hearing a lot about this Xtrans 1 sensor, as an XT3 shooter already it's tempting to pick up as all my glass will work. But In the comparison shots I've seen the images look extremely similar to me. Is the hype around the sensor justified?
Between you and me, it's probably just hype :) these minor details are just things we like to talk about sometimes, but rarely make a practical difference. The xt3 sounds great! Fujifilm is such a great system.
@@snappinessThat's kind of what I figured, but I'd seen a lot of people talk about the "filmic" look of the sensor or how it more closely resembles CCDs than the later sensors, so I figured you'd be the guy to ask. I think it's probably people's happiness with the camera and images expressing itself, more than it's actually reflected in image quality. I do agree that the XE1 is a great entry point into the system though since they can be easily had for around $300
Those pics are gorgeous, un grand bravo!
I always put a Fuji, a Ricoh, and a Pentax in my bag.
Fuji (X-E1) for moody stills
Ricoh for 3D pop
Pentax for night shots (and astrophotography)
I call this Trinity 😅
I can imagine these in 20 years.
the "swirl bokeh" on the image at 1:13 was made with the Pentax 110 24mm?
I think that was the pentax 110 70mm
Uh oh... James + Fuji. It was bound to happen, and I predict a one-way trip... 🤣
Oh man, my collection is too full as it is. Hard to let this one go. And I may just be eying up some more Fuji's for the future... 😆
@@snappiness I spent a few years hoping Pentax would make an MX-like mirrorless camera, until I realized the X-T1 existed. Huge viewfinder just like the MX, similar ergonomics, a nice set of compact primes. Do not, I repeat DO NOT try one of those! 😉
@@JuanBuhler haha, dang it! Everyone keeps recommending it!
How easy is it to focus manually using that screen on the back of the camera?
It's not the easiest camera for manual focusing. I wish it had a tilt screen for the many times I was manually focusing low and having to tilt my head funny to try and see the peaking xD
0:58 Holy shit I have the exact same bike!
Omg i remember these use to go for $280 w. a 16mm lens on Ebay back in 2018 now they cost like $400-700
Yeah it's crazy!
I got mine for $50 with the kit lens and the 60mm macro for additional $50, so yes… definitely worth it 😂
Who did you rob? Whild the camera was almost dirt cheap in the previous couple years, the lenses fetch a good price in any market.
@ The seller obviously didn't knew that. She had not been using it for a while because she only used the iPhone now. The macro she had only tried once and didn't get the hang of it. I couldn't let that one pass 😬
@@fotografi4fun I get it. I got a XF 55-200 for 270 Euro used from a guy who didn't care, just wanted to move on, which was about half price compared to retail. I still haven't seen one for less than 450 used locally.
I bought mine 150$ , 2 years ago. The only problem with the xe1 is focus peaking. Only white. No other options. Zoom to focus stick to the back dial button ( can't remap it) and that dial suck.
LCD resolution is a bit low
Besides that. Everything is perfect
Great price back then! I actually don't mind the focus peaking being all white - it's still better than a lot of cameras focus peaking I've used. But it is nice they changed that in later models!
Early mirrorless AF and lack of IBIS is what stops me from going for these Fuji models.
any modern day camera will do the job bro i still photoshoot weddings and baptisms using a sony a6000 i put my money on my lens collection and extra batteries 😂
This is so true, you got the right idea focusing on lenses 👍 so many great cameras to choose from.
So you are the one that one the lens contest
what was that grip on ur xpro? 👀
I made it out of colored pencils! There's a video on my channel about it, a few years ago. Google colored pencil xpro1
Should you buy it? Well from what I see, it's in the $400 range for a 10 year old camera body on Ebay, so I would say no. Buy the X-T10 instead for the same price or less. Which has a newer and better sensor.
Yeah exactly. I have a Fuji xt2 and xt10 so those are trans sensors 2 and 3 and I noticed they're going for a couple hundred more than I paid last year. But I thought it might be fun to check out a first generation sensor. Uhm, for $700CAN? No thanks I'm good. Sheer lunacy the hype no doubt trickle down from the 100V as well. I'll wait for the crash when everyone tries to unload these when they realize they're not all that.
@@stephen-wahli bought one in new condition with the box and manual plus an L bracket for 400CAD like 3 months ago. It's definitely slower than my GX85 but with 16mm 2.8 all my photos come out sharp so idc about all these comments saying about its bad autofocus. I've ordered the new pergear 25mm 1.7, can't wait to try manual lens on it
Welcome to the Fuji cult, uh club. : )
can't get rid of my xe-1, i bought another and converted it on Full spectrum Infrared.
That would be an awesome camera!
@@snappiness gonna try those 110 lens soon. Looks cool!
@@patpat5557 they are super fun! A little limiting with the fixed aperture, but surprisingly sharp in the center and interesting bokeh. The 18mm vignettes the most out of them on Apsc, but even that one is minor enough a little post processing can fix it. Have fun!
@@snappiness wow nice to know. Thank you!
Nice video! It's a nice camera, and can produce beautiful colors. I sold mine though, because of the not good screen, and evf. The screen, is better in the x-e2, who also have useful focus peaking. My x-e2 is collecting dust however, I'm not happy with the evf, and I have better cameras. Actually it was when I compared it with the excellent viewfinder of the Canon AE-1 Program I stopped using the x-e2.
hey, just have to coment that your videos are amazing but the voice over is always a little more louder on the left side of my headphone. It's very slight, but it is kkkk
Interesting! I always playback on headphones before making them live and have never noticed that. But I appreciate the feedback. Always good to know what's going on for other people so I can work on things and improve them :)
@@snappiness Can be on my side tho. But I don't notice it in other places so I felt i should've said

I just wish this camera had the tilting screen :/
Oh no not another camera for me to want 😅
How do you think I feel after borrowing it? 😆
Newsflash Update: dude thanks to the likes of TH-camrs like yourself good luck getting this for anything that's considered affordable. These are well over $500 now in Canada people are asking $700 even. Thanks 😂
Fujifilm cameras are good but some of them have design flaws.
I have had 3 fujifilm cameras with different problems are now sitting on my shelves.
Naturally you didn't try the X-E1 with the Konica 40mm f1.8, which is the best combo in the history of digital photography.
The Pentax-M 28mm f2.8 and 40mm f4 liked living on the X-E1 for street photography.
Ah, that would be a good one! I owned that lens a while back but didn't have a Fuji at the time. There's always next time ;)
I sold my XE1 gladly. But those Pentax 110 lenses work better than Fujifilm lenses, which are too sharp, sterile looking and lack 3D pop. I found the XE1 to have alien feel in the ergonomics because I'm a Pentaxian. It really reminded me of a Nikon DSLR I owned once with most of the push buttons down the left side which is uncomfortable. I think there shouldn't be any buttons down the left side, even on my Pentaxes. Like review button and garbage can button on the left is annoying.
So the button layout isn't good on the XE1, and one rear dial and no front dial was not good enough. I didn't mind the EVF which everyone 10 years ago complained about causing nausea, which isn't true, they were just averse to mirrorless cameras, that is until the autofocus became superior to dslr. The Q button was okay.
In the hand it did not feel substantial and felt like I was going to drop it as I dropped another Fuji camera I sold earlier. You must do the strap wrap around the wrist trick on any early Fuji camera, they just want to fall out of your hands, as they're so light and slippery with virtually no grip. It is the wrong design and a bad design to not have a decent hand grip on an interchangeable lens camera. The Pentax K-S1 I own has a similar feeling on the grip which I should address, and a few times I felt I was going to drop it. Todays Fujis with IBIS are substantially larger than Pentax bodies with IBIS that can do Astrotracer and pixel shift, so I do not see where Fuji is going with its oversized designs. Perhaps the XT-1 was their best camera size - not too small and not too big.
But forget Fuji, their lenses are too clinical and sterile, its a garbage system IMO. I'm sticking with Pentax for the 3D pop lenses with ambience, plus all the old vintage lenses to play with. Sure you can adapt it to mirrorless, but it feels fraudulent to me to put a Pentax lens on a Fuji or Sony camera. Like taking Subaru WRX wheels and putting them on an old Toyota Celica because it has 5x100 studs. Or putting Mitsubishi Evo wheels on a Nissan with the same stud pattern. I never liked it when the Canon dslr guys were buying old Pentax lenses and using the PK to EF adapter and hording plus driving up the prices of Pentax vintage lenses. Makes want to mod lenses.
Fuji is Mazda. Pentax is Volvo.
Wow, that's real Leica level bullshit. There is no magic sensor, magic camera or magic lens. If your photos are crap you're the limiting factor, not the camera or sensor or lens.
Photographers - idiots, of which there are so many say, "Oh, if only I had a Nikon or a Leica, I could make great photographs." That's the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. It's nothing but a matter of seeing, and thinking and interest. - Andreas Feininger
Who hurt you?
@@joshlopez9056 Grow up princess.
Images are not very sharp.
I really like the ergonomics vs DSLR style but lack of tilt screen is a deal killer.
