The Drive button is yet another important button, it lets you switch between shooting modes. However, what I found most impressive is the number for focus point that you can pick in the MF mode, so you can frame your shots well. So forget about capturing moving objects with this one.

Important controls such as ISO, and flash control modes are so deeply nested, that figuring out how to configure things is painful. The Q button will show you the shot settings, and you can change setting on the pane with the dial near the view mode button, which is a blessing. So that way, you need a lot of patience to actually work with this camera. Once you set the focus value to M or C, you need the AE/AF buttons to kick in the focus mode.

M is for Manual Focus, and C will bring up the Cross-hair focus point.

Setting both to A and setting the focus to S will put your camera in full auto mode. Setting the shutter speed to A puts your camera on Aperture mode, and A on your Aperture settings puts the camera on Shutter Priority mode. You have to be a very technically sound photographer to use this one, since all settings are on dials. Unless you have the experience of using analogue cameras, X-E1 has a rather steep learning curve. Here's where the things get quite un-intuitive especially for those used to current generation DSLR's. It is quite easy on the eyes too, so no complains about how it looks. It has good grips, making it easy to hold when taking pictures. Overall the camera is sturdy to hold, and is made with good quality materials. The left side of the camera house connection ports including USB port, mini HDMI out, 2.5mm microphone stereo mini connector. The Q button shows you the settings selected to capture the shot. The back sports the Electronic View Finder (EVF) (with the dioptre control), Flash control button, display toggle (View Mode), autofocus buttons (AE/AF), Zoom keys, Shooting mode shortcut key (Drive), macro key, playback button, and a display back button to switch out of the EVF. The top of the camera also houses a hot shoe and a pop-up flash. Also located near the shutter button is a function key that can be customised to your comfort. There is a three-step autofocus, on the right side on the face of the camera, below the lens. Most controls such as shutter speeds, EV balance, and aperture can be set using dedicated separate dials. Like I mentioned before, the X-E1 has a very old-school, retro feel to it. But does it take old school cameras forward, or is it just eye-candy? Let's find out. The Fujifilm's retro-style mirrorless camera fills in the gap with X-E1. These days the Pentax-style retro film cameras seem to be a rage. At this price point, there are better options with APS-C and micro Four-third sized sensors.Give this one a miss if you are looking for a DSLR replacement.If you're looking for snapping moving objects or close ups.Those who want to indulge in landscape and still photography.

Those who are photography pros and want an APS-C sensor mirrorless camera.Those who have loads of patience, and a very keen sense of technicalities of a camera.

Cons: Steep learning curve Too many controls on different dials Processing algorithms don't work well Expensive.
