    Just posted: Fujifilm X-E1 review. With a sensor and imaging pipeline that is identical to the X-Pro1’s the X-E1 promises much of the X-Pro1’s fun in a more compact and affordable package. We’ve spent the past few weeks using the X-E1 intensely with the full range of lenses now available for the X-system, and have prepared a full in-depth review. Following the release of raw support from Capture 1 and much improved raw support from Adobe, the X-E1 (and X-Pro 1) just got a whole lot more appealing, too.
