This means it doesn't need the optical low pass filter featured in most cameras and as a result it reportedly produces clearer and better resolved images than most comparable resolution sensors. The X-E1 benefits from a 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor which uses a unique color filter array to minimize moiré and false colors. The X-E1 viewfinder also uses two glass elements and one double aspherical element to offer a clear and distortion-free view, which Fujifilm claims is "an experience similar to an optical viewfinder." It has been replaced with an OLED electronic viewfinder with 2.36 million dots and a high contrast ratio of 1:5000. However, some things had to go to cut the size, most notably the highly regarded hybrid multi viewfinder.

It also takes the same Fujifilm X mount lenses, and image quality is said to be identical between the two cameras – but the X-E1 will be cheaper and features a smaller body.

Well, it's gone and done it again, with the announcement that it will soon release the Fujifilm X-E1, a retro-styled 16-megapixel mid-range mirrorless interchangeable lens digital camera.īorrowing styling and a number of features from its bigger brother, the X-E1 boasts the same 16.3-megapixel CMOS Sensor as the X-Pro1. In recent years, we've seen the company unveil the X100, the X-S1 and most recently the X-Pro1. Like most other camera manufacturers at the moment, Fujifilm is currently somewhat partial to using the letter X in its camera names.
