Abstract: This new compact semi-pro-quality camera from the ridiculously resurgent Fujifilm company isn't the most convenient to use – take the method of turning it on by twisting the lens barrel, for example. But then the XF1, with its leather-effect body, is so b...
This is a snapshot camera that is a cut above the rest, so should draw attention from snappers looking to upgrade as well as owners of bulkier cameras seeking a more pocket-friendly back up.Tags:Photo & VideoBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery Price...
Wide aperture; Raw shooting option; Stills image quality; Movie performance; Retro design
Unconventional lens mechanism; Some wobbling on movie focus
The XF1 is a camera that both looks great and takes impressive photos. The unusual power control on the manual zoom wheel, however, is a little fiddly and won't suit everyone. Get beyond this, though, and the wide maximum aperture and raw image recordi...
Stylish retro appearance and lightweight aluminium build, fast/bright f/1.4 maximum aperture lens unusually boasts manual operation, high ISO12800 light sensitivity, fair pricing

Clickable thumbwheel, customisable interface, Compact mechanical zoom lens with manual control ring, Excellent responsiveness, Image quality / Quality optics and electronics / RAW mode, Full HD video with decent stereo sound

The Fujifilm XF1 is a compact and comprehensive expert-level camera. It can feel surprising to handle at first but it's actually been well-designed. Plus, image quality doesn't disappoint. Like its competitors, it's no match for the Sony RX100 in the expe...
The fujifilm XF1 is an attractive high-end compact camera with easy handling thanks to a simple layout and clever E-Fn button. With a larger-than-normal sensor, the XF1 has a solid low-light performance, too. Well done to Fuji for trying something differe...
Competitively priced, f/1.8 aperture at 25mm equivalent, manual lens control (including compact collapsible design), raw shooting, E-Fn button works well, good low-mid ISO image quality, competitively priced against the competition
Ongoing "white orb" issue, maximum aperture dips to f/4.9 at the 100mm equivalent, faux leather finish looks markedly more budget than its intentions, no viewfinder possible
We have handfuls of love for the XF1 thanks to its decent image quality, collapsible manual zoom lens, competitive price and retro, pocketable design. But that's met with a few pinches of disappointment too: the maximum f/4.9 aperture at the full exten...
