  • The Fujifilm X-E2 is very well equipped for the enthusiast photographer at whom it is targeted and, in many ways, its the camera we wish the X-E1 had been. Fujifilm has addressed the concerns many had with the earlier model, like the ageing 2.8in. 460,00...

  • Image quality leads the way, retro design, decent screen and viewfinder, solid build quality, lenses with hands-on aperture controls, improves upon predecessor with success
  • So-so battery life, autofocus not flawless, continuous autofocus is slow, still too easy to knock exposure compensation dial
  • The Fujifilm X-E2 gets plenty right. Although, ultimately, it's a subtle upgrade compared to its predecessor. If you're after a CSC that's all about image quality then look little further. We also love the hands-on layout of the build, and both ret...

  • Very good picture quality up to 12800 ISO, Goodquality 1855 mm zoom lens, Sturdy build quality, Plenty of advanced settings, Improved controls and layout, Digital Split Image and focus peaking modes, Full HD video at 60 fps, WiFi builtin
  • Slightly less responsive than the previous model, No settings can be changed once filming video, Still some room for improvement with controls and handling, No touchcontrols or swivel/tilt screen
  • The new X-Trans CMOS II sensor, onboard Wi-Fi and slightly reworked controls make the Fujifilm X-E2 a nice update of the X-E1, even though it doesn't bring any radical changes. It remains an expert's interchangeable lens compact that takes excellent quali...

  • Abstract:  Why hello there good lookin'. The Fujifilm X-E2, the compact system camera to succeed the earlier X-E1 model, may be a little older but it's lost none of that retro charm and visual appeal. That's clear from just taking one glance at this silver-topped ma...

  • EVF built, in, 920,000, dot LCD, Faster responses, Improved AF system
  • Fixed screen, No touchscreen, Advanced Filters are 'JPEG only'
  • Along with many photographers, I liked the X-E1. It offers the same image quality as the superb X-Pro1 in a smaller body and has what I consider the more useful of the two viewfinders - the electronic finder, which has been improved so that it's better in...

  • Fantastic image quality, Impressive kit lens, Solid build and premium finish
  • Wi-Fi features half-baked, No touchscreen
  • The X-E2 doesn't succeed in every area, failing to match competing models in terms of AF speed and Wi-fi performance. However, if you're looking for a retro rangefinder-type CSC that delivers in terms of design and image quality, the X-E2 is a pleasure to...

  • Abstract:  Before we take a detailed look at Fujifilm X-E2, let's talk about its price. A camera that costs Rs 1,09,999 with the kit lens (18-55mm) is an expensive preposition for almost all mainstream consumers. Even those who are passionate about photography will...
