Fujifilm FinePix XF1 Review: Fujifilm XF1 - The Phoblographer

Review: Fujifilm XF1 - The Phoblographer

The Fujifilm X-F1 Compact Camera is the latest model to come out of the X-Series that breaks into a new class of camera for the series. While the X10 grazed the compact camera field, the X-F1 bravely enters and takes the center stage as their flagship pocketable compact camera. Bowing up to larger competitors like the Canon S100 and Sony RX100, this camera takes a stand as a new way of addressing a common consumer market. With its exclusive lens extension system and the trend-setting retro return to leatherette and metal bodies, this camera boldly stakes its claim in the top shelf as a premium compact camera.

Enthusiast compact for auto snapshooters

The XF1 is a nice combination of style and performance, but might not offer enough control, features, and photo quality for demanding users.

Fujifilm XF1 hands-on preview

The enthusiast compact sector has undergone a distinct revival in recent years, with every major manufacturer now producing a model or two that offers full manual control and RAW format recording, aimed as a second camera for enthusiasts who usually carry an SLR. These cameras have generally fallen into two distinct camps - those featuring either fast lenses or long zooms with lots of external controls, and smaller-bodied 'shirt pocket' cameras. The latter category was more-or-less owned by Canon for several years with its S-series compacts such as the Powershot S100, but has recently been shaken-up by the arrival of the Sony Cyber-Shot RX-100 with its relatively large 1"-type sensor. Now it welcomes a new contender - the Fujifilm XF1.

Fujifilm’s latest X-series model looks to set itself apart not only with an impressive 2/3in EXR sensor and maximum aperture of f/1.8, but also through distinct retro styling and manual zoom lens.

The Fujifilm XF1 is a neat retro-look compact camera with sharp optics, but its light-gathering capability diminishes as you zoom.

A pocketable addition to Fujifilm's retro-styled X-series of cameras which features a novel collapsing lens that doubles as an on/off switch.
