| Fujifilm X-E1 Review The FujiFilm X-E1 is their newest X-mount ILC camera, featuring the same APS-C sized 16-Megapixel X-Trans CMOS image sensor that was initially released in their flagship X-Pro 1 camera. The X-E1 was not designed like most consumer digicams, but more like a true rangefinder camera. There are no scene modes or automatic shooting modes. The closest you get to any of these modes are the Program and Panoramic shooting modes, that take care of your shutter and aperture settings for you. All of the other modes need the photographers control on some level. The camera also features the X-mount system for use of all Fujinon X-mount lenses, Fujifilm film simulation modes, a HD OLED electronic viewfinder, on camera shutter and aperture controls, pop-up flash unit and a great collection of functional and stylish accessories. Fuji's new X-Trans CMOS image sensor has been designed with a random pixel array to eliminate moiré without the need for an additional filter. This allows more light to get to the sensor, increasing the quality of the image, low-light performance and reducing noise at high ISO settings. The size of the image sensor also helps with the "bokeh" effect produced when shooting with a shallow depth of field.
