Introduction
A year ago, a new player appeared on the mirrorless camera market - Fujifilm. Moreover, unlike many competitors, the company did not start with a mass model, but with a “camera for the elite”. Their first Fujifilm X-PRO1 system camera was not even going to push the Sony NEX or the numerous Micro 4/3 army into the market . She competed (and still competes) with Leica itself! Unsurpassed retro design, the highest image quality, a unique and one of a kind hybrid viewfinder - we already wrote about all this when we tested the Fujifilm X-PRO1 . But the price ... Like any quality thing, Fujifilm X-PRO1 can still shock an unprepared buyer at a price of 50 thousand rubles per camera without a lens. And this is a year after the announcement. The ingenious intent of the Fujifilm marketers was revealed only at the end of 2012, when the second camera of the system, Fujifilm X-E1, was released. She made it clear that the company was ready to take a step towards a wider market, abandoning some of the expensive "chips" that played a role in drawing attention to the system. Learn price Fujifilm X-E1 The key difference between the X-E1 is the lack of a hybrid viewfinder. He became just electronic. Such a “trifle” allowed reducing the price of a camera to 40 thousand for a “body” already at the start of sales. And the use of zoom lenses now does not cause any problems. Moreover, Fujifilm X-E1 can be bought right away complete with a whale lens for 50,000. By the way, it was with the “whale” that this camera ended up in our test studio. Let's see what the mirrorless Fujifilm, which has become closer to the people, is capable of?The main features of the model:
