Our quick take

Fujifilm XF1 - 4.0 / 5

Design

Performance

Image Quality

To recap

We have handfuls of love for the XF1 thanks to its decent image quality, collapsible manual zoom lens, competitive price and retro, pocketable design. But that’s met with a few pinches of disappointment too: the maximum f/4.9 aperture at the full extent of the zoom, lack of optional viewfinder, ongoing “white orb” issues due to the sensor and that not-so-nice faux-leather finish. It’s close, but the cigar’s not quite met the lips of this otherwise good-looking and decent-performing high-end compact.
