Best for
A historically notable X-mount body - the X-E1 was Fuji's second X-mount body after the X-Pro1, at the start of the classic rangefinder-styled Fuji aesthetic. First-generation X-Trans sensor delivers characteristic Fuji colour, though AF is slower than modern Fuji bodies. A good affordable first Fujifilm body for photographers who value the classic look and don't need modern AF performance.
Frequently asked questions
Is the X-E1 still useful today?
For stills with a classic-rendering aesthetic and deliberate shooting, yes. Modern AF (face/eye detect, subject tracking) is absent, and contrast-detect AF is slower than modern hybrid systems. For serious working use, the X-E4 or newer X-E bodies are significantly more capable.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
