Saw this new item and was wondering about your opinions? I like the concept better than the x100 and the xpro. Seems Ike anice simple carry around with very good capabiliy.

Looks nice, but I'll wait a while before buying any new cameras!

Yes I have been aware of this camera for the last month or so as it has been heavily talked about on the Fuji forums. Essentially it is an XPro1 without the optical viewfinder. If you dont want the extra expense of the XPro1 with the OVL/EVL combo and want interchangeable lenses then it is a good option. Also the XE1 is a little smaller than the XPro1, closer to X100 in size.

The more I read about this, the more I like it. I have been on the fence for some time now wanting a smallish carry around. I liked the x100 but wanted more than a 35mm lens. The x pro was too much in size and cost but very capable. I think the x-e1 may be the answer. Time will tell. Fuji really seems to have found their niche market. Anyway, I thought this was interesting.

The biggest change is that the AF on a mirrorless camera is nowhere as good as a DSLR but everything else can be similar. Once you get over the need to have snap instant focus then you will be content with a mirrorless camera. The great things about it are the lower weight and the same quality of image (assuming same sized sensor).

It definitely is going to be a "hot" camera. I just downloaded the firmware for the xp1 (which gives it all the new features except the slightly higher res evf and the build in diopter). It is great. Focus is still slower than a nikon, but much closer. The manual focus is greatly improved and makes it very usable in MF mode. The difference between the xe1 and the x100 are the sensor (not too meaningful but clearly "better) and the interchangeable lenses... Negative... Probably not really a pocket camera like the x100, not silent (really silent) shutter and not high speed flash sync...oh yeah, and no hybrid VF. For me the size is appealing and the EVF, but I'm sold on the x100 and xp1 hybrid VF, which for me really separate Fuji from the pack. tom

I've not held an XE1 yet and am resisting the temptation to go to UK as I know if I touch one of these cameras then I will probably want one. That said I still believe the Leica M9 is probable he pinnacle of rangefinder technology and digital cameras. The Fuji cameras have AF whilst the Leica has MF only I still cant decide if AF or MF is better especially in mid range lenses (28-90mm).
