Our quick take

Fujifilm X-S1 - 4.0 / 5

Awesome EVF

Sizable zoom lens

Autofocus

Image Quality – the highs and lows

To recap

The X-S1’s £700 price tag is a big ask, but the camera does come with big features. It’s got a great viewfinder, is wonderful to use, produces best in class images* and has an excellent, stabilised lens. But it’s not perfection: despite significant improvements compared to a standard superzoom, the autofocus system won’t near that of a DSLR. Oh, and then there’s that asterisk - *an ongoing processing issue can render specular highlights as oversized white orbs, and that may be a nail in the coffin for demanding users.
