Review Excerpt

We haven’t finished our review of the Fujifilm X-A1, but we have extensive sample photos and a hands-on report.
See our Fujifilm X-A1 First Shots

Farthest zoom reach for a fixed lens camera (2000mm eq.); Good image quality for its class; Good vibration reduction; Fast aperture at wide angle (f/2.8); Excellent value for the price.
No RAW file recording; Limited capabilities in low light, including struggling with autofocus; Lens not as sharp at full tele end; No hot shoe.
