Fujifilm X-A1 - Pros & Cons

a great amount of information that works very well in Lightroom
better colour and low light performance
Detail and resolution in the centre is very good
excellent colour and good exposure
easy and quick to set options

The night photograph was excellent
Continuous shooting speeds are also good
X-A1 is very well constructed
handling
features and performance
The RAW files were also excellent
lighter and more compact overall

It takes a bit longer in unfavorable light
high price tags to match
there is no viewfinder on this model
iOS devices are limited to 720p resolution for movie transfer
Fuji X-A1 is quite a bit cheaper
too slows when it gets dark
issue-a slight lag when it comes to focusing
burst mode slows after only a handful of shots
Bayer sensor in this camera was lacking
-camera noise reduction often washes away detail
Does the Fujifilm X-A1 have Weather Sealing
Fuji has used a tilting screen
too often partial
inconsistent
and inaccurate
built-in flash is not very powerful
larger sensors tend to be more expensive and lead to bigger and heavier cameras and lenses
and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down
Many modern cameras are not only capable of taking still images
doesn't have any connections for external microphones and headphones
Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic
doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder
Fujifilm X-A1 have Image Stabilization
lack of a viewfinder
slow and rather unintuitive RAW converter
no built-in ND filter
sometimes proved to be a little hard to see in bright sunlight
Continuous focus can appear quite slow
the focus occasionally struggled indoors in low light
There is no built in panoramic mode
no remote control through the app either
there's no cable supplied in the box
X-A1 is too big to fit in the average pocket

The Fujifilm X-A1 is the least expensive X-series camera that Fuji sells; while it doesn't feature the company's unique X-Trans image sensor, it's still a solid performer.
