It’s time for a focus on the new Fuji X-E1 that is being delivered in these days in EU and US too.
EVF videos:
You really have to check out the video posted by Apw100 on youtube. It shows you the performance of the new X-E1. Let’s see if you will still miss the hybrid viewfinder of the X PRO 1 after watching these :)
X-E1 against the rest of the world (on par with FF DSLR?):
The Spanish friends from DSLRmagazine (translation here) compared the image quality of the new X-E1 against the Full Frame Nikon D600 and Canon 5DmarkIII. Just check out the comparison image (Click here). And guess what? The Fuji is pretty damn close to both of them!
Also the Chinese website pcpop.com posted some comparisons:
Here you can see the comparison between the X-PRO1, X-E1 and NEX-7 (see the pictures here).
The next comparison is between the X-E1 and the D600. Take a look at the JPEGs of these cameras (click here).
