My XF1 Fuji camera is so easy to use. I love all the ways that I can shoot a picture or take a video, my pictures come out amazing! It is so light and easy to carry with me at all times. The price was the best,compared to other companies, and delivery was within a week of my ordering the camera. I will always buy all my camera needs from B&H!

I use this camera for capturing ideas, things I observe in everyday life. Because I carry my camera in my pocket the life of it is about 1 1/2 year. One of the problems with other camera's was that they opened by accident.
That's one of the reasons I bought this one. The drawback is that you have to open the lens for any functions, to download pictures or settings.
The quality of the pictures is very good, about the same as my previous ones in the same price bracket. (Canon, Panasonic). It is somewhat better in low light though.

Quality of image is very good. I like the manual function of the lens, I keep the camera always in my pocket and it does not open by accident.
The draback is that you have to open the lens for all functions, even for downloading images to your computer.

Lens system is clunky. Finishing not as good as the X10.

I'm really happy when I got my XF1, take a few test shot, likes the features, pic quality, easy of use.... but my camera has some dust on the sensor, it appear at aperture F5.6 till more worse F11. I would like to have it, but don't want to disappoint for a second time if I exchange with the same model.
At the end I just pick Sony RX100/exchange.
Fujifilm need more pay attention for QUALITY CONTROL.
Many Fujifilm X10, X100, XF1 users found the QC is bad especially DUST PROBLEM!!!!
The best things from Fujifilm: build quality, the features/menu.
Sorry Fujifilm, for not buying this product!!

Forget the naysayers -- this little pockteable gem is just about perfect! Right size, right weight,excellent JPEG's, manual features, classic style and price point. Forget the critics of the power on/off process -- it's intuitive and simple to use. I love the manual focus in a camera of this size -- much more control than an auto zoom lens. The panorama feature is outstanding and worth the price of the camera! A definite winner for Fuji's X Series.

I used to be a more serious photographer but now I really only require a point and shoot. I had been missing the feeling manual control afforded by my old film SLR, which is why I think I like the XF1 so much.
It is very pocketable, which has been inspiring me to shoot more. And, even though the EXR setting is good for most occasions, when I want to seriously compose a shot the menus are easy to navigate. I love the lens manual zoom. Low light performance is decent. Start up time is great, once you get the hang of the lens on-off function.
Not many cons yet, the dedicated record button is a little close to the thumb rest and I have accidentally pressed once or twice. The flash isn't very powerful but it gets the job done most of the time.

I bought this camera as a supplement to my Pentax K-5 and to take a look at Fuji before perhaps going for an XE-1/XPro1. The unusual on/off control through the lens twist and pull was a lot easier than some reviewers have said - and took me back to my Rollei 35S days - a camera that shares the classic looks of the XF1. The out of camera JPG quality is excellent - good colours - the RAW is a little more challenging either with CP1 or LR4. Had a quick play with SilkyPix but not as intuitive as LR4, and the in camera RAW processing is a little fiddly - so I'll probably stick with JPG. High ISO also good so far. Haven't tried some of the multi exposure options to further reduce noise in night shots. A nice set of features giving good intuitive manual control and some interesting art filters to play with. The feel of the camera makes you want to take pictures!

I bought this camera to fit three specific and overlapping needs: 1) compact size for travel and hiking, 2) outdoor low-light shots, often with moving subjects, 3) close shots of small subjects in natural light (in particular, aquarium animals and small scale models). The cool look is cool, but for me that takes a back seat to the mechanical simplicity (which has some very practical benefits, like no inadvertent button-pressing and almost nothing to snag on your backpack or pocket). I'm finding the leatherette cover superb for grippage. The fast lens, short focal length at the wide end and easily accessed and very intuitive menus and indications for full manual control of shutter speed, aperture, film type effect, and etc., are so far serving very well for the niche situations I specified. I'm fast growing to love the tactile control and firm feel of the hand zoom ring; it's quicker and more precise than motor zooms, and find it keeps my hand in a good position for stable shooting. The camera's also fine for general shooting, but not at the head of the class. Caveat, but obvious with a glance at the specs: if you need or crave a lot of zoom power, this absolutely NOT your camera. Given the knowns going in, my one significant gripe is there seems to be a slight LCD viewer-to-shutter lag that I haven't gotten used to yet when shooting moving subjects; from experience I know this is something I can compensate for with a bit more shooting time, but it's one drawback of not having an optical viewfinder that I hadn't expected. I've only been shooting for a week with it, so can't comment on durability, but so far operation is flawless. Ask me in 9 years about durability, which is how long I shot with my last Fuji point and shoot.

I was looking for a camera that could take clear, focused shots inside under low-light conditions. I take a lot of pictures of food inside restaurants, but I wanted a camera that would be compact enough that I could be more inconspicuous and not bother other diners. This camera takes GREAT shots and makes impressive depth of focus blur for a Point and Shoot.
The only part I don't like is how you turn it on. It is a bit clumsy and takes 2 hands most of the time. It's the trade off for having a camera that looks pretty neat though.

Got this camera for my wife for Christmas. She likes to take a lot if indoor pictures in lower-light. Best camera I we ever had for that. The EXR mode is great - sometimes it will choose on its own to take 3 pictures and average them into one for less noise! It is mostly used on the EXR setting. I have also used aperature priority to good effect. Manual focus is not so great- hard to tell when it is in sharp focus. A lovely camera. I bought it just before it came down in price though. Will be getting one for my 80-year old mother for her birthday.

love the style and size of this camera. easy to use menu. pretty good low light capability and good IQ for this small compact size camera.

I bought this camera for a trip to Costa Rica as I had left my Nikon DSLR at home. I love the style of the camera but more importantly it works perfectly on auto but also provides me with most of the settings I use on my DSLR. I got perfect sunset pictures on the preset sunset setting as well.
The only watch out is it does not turn on automatically, you have to turn the lens to unlock it. It was annoying at first but once you get used to it, not a big deal.

I am using this as a replacement for my Sony NEX-5n. Okay, you're probably thinking why in the world I would replace it with a little point and shoot? Well, I kid you not! This little point and shoot just does that with a BANG!!! Fuji's color and sharpness of the lens and the power of its sensor makes it a more than capable kind of a camera. As a shooter of full full frame dslr/dslt (5D MKIII and A99), the image quality is pretty sufficient. Focus is snappy and on contact each time! The size and and weight is just right. The controls are simple and easy to navigate. The EXR mode does an incredible job. How do I know it's a great camera? It's when I catch myself not editing the images in post like in Lightroom or Photoshop just to make it look good. High ISO is impressive...definitely hit the right spot in my brain to hit "Add to cart"...lol! I was going to get the Sony RX100 but the high ISO performance of the Sony is not as good compared to this Fuji XF1. I'm afraid this point and shoot will keep your heavy, neck breaking, back pain maker DSLR in your bag. It may get jealous but there's time for them to shine as well.

I am a DSLR-only shooter for a long time now, so have forgotten almost all experience with compacts. This small beast fits all dslr-like habits, but laks of eye-level viewfinder, which is must unusual thing for me.The performance and image quality are ok, as expected. The build quality and look are just amazing.On/off logic is not that trivial too, but works ok. Zoom ring works well, but does not feel like mechanic zoom, looks like it is motor-controlled.The overall impression is very positive and this is definitely the best camera for a girl who likes shooting, but does not like heavy gear.

Great camera with one of the best menu systems I've seen. The off/on using the lens is not a problem once you realise turn to the left is on, turn to the right is off. Sharpened on the computer I've found that the images are very good, far better than expected. My ownly problem has been that for street photography the camera is esily noticed.
