Fujifilm X-M1 Camera - Black (16.3MP, 16-50mm Lens Kit) 3 inch LCD

Product Information

In fact, where my Nikon D800E with the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G suffered in AF accuracy, the Fuji cameras did not! Now I am not here to say that the AF system on Fuji mirrorless cameras is better than on DSLRs because it is clearly not. Autofocus speed is still pretty slow in comparison. However, seems like contrast-detect has its own advantages in low-light situations. Here is an image that was shot with the X-M1 in a very dark environment outdoors: X-M1 + Touit 2.8/12 @ 12mm, ISO 2000, 1/50, f/4.0 The X-M1 is a full-featured mirrorless camera, and keeps up well with similarly priced cameras. You'll find an Advanced SR Auto mode with automatic scene selection, a good selection of scene modes, and plenty of special effects. The X-M1 has the core set of Film Simulation modes, but loses some of the options found on the X-E1. Two things you won't find are HDR or panorama shooting modes. The electronic level from the X-E1 didn't make its way to the X-M1. The Fujifilm X-M1's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds in the Time shutter speed mode, and there's a Bulb mode which allows exposures up to 60 minutes long, which is excellent news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 25 seconds at ISO 200. The X-M1 uses the same 16.3 megapixel X-Trans CMOS sensor found in Fujifilm's other X system cameras. That's good news, since this sensor has drawn praise from DPReview and photographers alike. Stejně jako u ostatních přístrojů řady X jsou strany otočných ovladačů zdrsněny pro snadnější ovládání. Uživatel může levou rukou otáčet clonovým kroužkem na objektivu, pravou rukou pak otočné ovladače času závěrky akompenzace expozice na horní straně fotoaparátu arychle tak měnit nastavení. Nejčastěji používané funkce je možno přiřadit tlačítku Fn (Function) pro plynulejší fotografování. Fotoaparát je dále vybaven přesným vestavěným bleskem sekvivalentem směrového čísla 7. Použití vlastního měřicího systému TTL umožňuje fotit interiérové snímky zblízka snáležitým množstvím světla. Fotoaparát X-M1 bude k dispozici ve třech barevných variantách – černá, stříbrná ahnědá.

The new X-M1 further expands Fujifilm's X-series of premium digital cameras, which includes the range-topping X-Pro1, X-E1 and the popular X100/S, amongst others. The X-M1 is a more mass-market camera, smaller and lighter than the other models and for-going a viewfinder, but adding a tilting LCD screen and wi-fi connectivity. The Fuji X-Trans sensor is capable of excellent image quality at ISO levels all the way to ISO 12800. To date, I have not seen a camera that can render such beautiful, noise-free JPEG images – I am simply amazed by how good the JPEG output of the Fuji X-M1 is. Fuji definitely knows how to apply noise reduction on JPEG images. However, the same cannot be said about its RAW files – as you can see from the above crops, the RAW output looks quite disappointing in comparison, with plenty of visible noise at higher ISO levels. Similar to other X series cameras, the X-M1 is not designed to be a weather-proof camera, and I would not expect it to be. Since other manufacturers like Olympus are pretty successful at making their camera bodies weather resistant, I hope it is a matter of time until Fuji starts doing the same. If you are too worried about shooting in extreme conditions, the Fuji X-M1 is probably not for you. X-M1 + XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS @ 16mm, ISO 400, 1/1800, f/5.6 Unlike the other X-system cameras, the X-M1 has no eye-level viewfinder at all, nor any option for a plug-in electronic viewfinder. Instead it uses an articulating rear screen, which is a 3-inch, 3:2 aspect ratio unit with 920k dot resolution. It can tilt to face almost directly downwards for overhead shots, or upwards for waist-level shooting. The X-M1 also has a 'focus peaking' feature that highlights high-contrast edges to assist manual focus.

Review Roundup

Also, I know that some people complain about framing through the LCD during daytime conditions when it is very bright. I have used the X-M1 during my landscape workshop when it was very sunny and also used it for other projects outdoors and I can tell you that the LCD is very bright, so there are really no concerns there. The biggest thing you need to be comfortable with is looking at the LCD for framing / composing shots. The good news is, in situations where I did need to use the LCD (such as photographing people on the dance floor during a wedding), I loved the ability to tilt the screen. So the tilt screen is definitely a very useful feature and the 3″ display with 920K dots makes images appear very crisp and beautiful. I would love to see Fuji implement a tilt screen in addition to a high-resolution EVF in the future versions of their higher-end X series cameras, similar to what my Olympus OM-D E-M5 offers. Zpracování osobních údajů je prováděno Správcem, osobní údaje však pro něj mohou zpracovávat i tito zpracovatelé: Fuji announced a pair of lenses at the same time as the X-M1. One is a standard zoom that will be sold as a kit with the X-M1, while the other is a pancake prime. Let's take a closer look at each: New kit zoom - XC 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OIS

And here are some portrait shots. As you can see, neither the Forced Flash setting or the Red-eye Reduction & Forced Flash option caused any red-eye. Both are very clean, but the boosted ISO 100 looks much more overexposed when compared to ISO 200 for some reason. I would avoid using ISO 100 on the X-M1 for this reason. Boosting ISO to 12800 results in more noise and much more aggressive noise reduction by the camera. Noise is apparent in the shadows (although noise reduction makes it look a little “muddy”) and more artifacts are visible throughout the image. Still, ISO 12800 is very usable in my opinion, especially when down-sampled. ISO 25600, on the other hand, looks too muddy and washed for my taste. ISO Performance at low ISOs (ISO 100-800) – RAW

Ease of Use

The Fujifilm X-M1 mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera was released on June 24, 2013 together with the Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS lens. After the success of the X series cameras including the X100, X-Pro1 and X-E1, Fuji decided to expand the line of interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras by introducing a more affordable mid-range version, the X-M1. While the X-Pro1 and X-E1 are targeted at professionals, enthusiasts and serious amateurs, the X-M1 is designed to attract a broader audience.
