Fuji film x-m1
- 2. Fuji has been rather successful at competing at the high-end mirrorless market place with their X- series bodies (X-Pro 1 , X-E1 ). Their main driver was the APS-C sensor that they claimed will match the IQ of the full-frame sensor. In reality, it didn’t quite reach that level, but nonetheless, most reviewers have agreed that Fuji’s X-Trans sensor is the best amongst all APS-C sensors
- 3. Time has gone by, and this time, Fuji has announced a new low-end model, based on the same X-Trans sensor. This means now they have a legitimate value model that offers the best IQ outside of the full-frame territory. The X-M1 is much more compact than either the X-E1 or X-Pro 1 . But they had to remove the EVF (pity), and also couple of control wheels/buttons. Most notably, the X-M1 now features a twin dials similar to its competitors but different from its own siblings.
- 4. 16MP X-Trans CMOS APS-C sensor, EXR Processor II – the sensor is the same as the X-Pro 1 and the X- E1 . But the processor appears to be different. X-E1 uses a processor called “EXR Pro”. Perhaps this is the later generation processor which means it may perform better in some ways. ISO 200-6400; L (100), H (12800) and H (ISO 25,600) Up to 5.6 fps continuous shooting – more a less the same as the X-E1 , which is rated at 6fps. This number lags significantly compare to its likely competitors, Olympus E-PL5 (8 fps) and Sony NEX- 5R (10 fps).
- 5. 1920 x 1080 FullHD movie recording at 30 fps; built-in stereo microphones – this has definitely improved over the X-E1 , but no better than the Olympus E-PL5 . Sony NEX- 5R betters both by a good margin. Twin control dials, top and rear – this is very nice. Both the Olympus E-PL5 and Sony NEX-5R don’t offer this. In fact, to get this feature, you will need to upgrade to Olympus OM-D E-M5 or Sony NEX-6 which are higher-end models compare to the X-E1 . Focus ‘peaking’ display Face detection and subject-tracking AF modes 920k dot 3″ 3:2 LCD display – tilts 120° upwards and 80° downwards – obviously, the X-E1 ′s LCD doesn’t tilt. But its competitors do tilt so finally Fuji is now up to par compare to the competition. Built-in Wi-Fi for image transfer to smartphone, tablet or PC
- 6. In summary, the X-M1 XF 27mm f/2.8 is a very interesting camera. But in reality, it must face a tough competition and both of the competitors offer better values. X-M1 will still win the IQ award, but it will not match the lens selection of the M43 system.
