The Fujifilm XF1 is a real beaut of a camera that feels honest in the hand and delivers reliable photographs.
The camera harks back to days gone by with a vintage design and faux leather covering – only the three inch LCD screen gives away its true age.
The XF1 is a compact point-and-shoot camera offering manual operation to camera enthusiasts looking for more than ‘auto’ as well as RAW images. Fitted with a 25-100mm lens, this camera lets you adjust shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings and other great advanced modes to play with like double-exposures, low-light scenarios and panoramas.
The XF1 is a bit finicky to get going at first, as you have to pull out the lens and rotate it to turn it on, which is unusual. The slim and light camera is truly beautiful and the photographs don’t disappoint.
