New Fuji X-E1 camera images and lens tests.
Popco posted a set of X-E1 images. Some of them are so well made that it really makes you want to get the camera today 
Quick fujifilm XF18-55mm F2.8-4.0 R LM OIS lens hands-on at Cnet Asia: “we found it comparable with most 18-55mm kits lenses in terms of speed. However, images were very sharp, and the F4 aperture at the long end does give a more pleasing background blur than most kit lenses.”
Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18 mm f/2 R test at Lenstip: “You can honestly say the Fujinon XF 18 mm f/2R is a well done lens, fully recommendable to those users who understand what they are buying and what the limits of such a purchase are.”

What on earth are thinking of?

8 months ago |I suspect their next set of sample would use samsung cameras, ha, ha,….
Their press release would say something like :” We have our advertising budget under control, or some other similar BS !”

8 months ago |Yes, you should definitely cancel your order based on some misleading comments from fanboyz and trolls. Maybe mine will ship earlier.

8 months ago |Why are you assuming that these are official Fuji promo shots? These are just well produced shots for a Japanese website/magazine.

8 months ago |I don’t, I just said that these promo images are taken with Oly

8 months ago |Were these taken for Fujifilm or by Fujifilm in some way? As part of a Fujifilm press package?
If you check the page, they appear to be copyrighted by the site that’s hosting them (not Fujifilm) so maybe they were shot by some person working at the blog/website and they just used whatever camera they had laying around to shoot the photo’s with?
Didn’t anyone think of this before posting the m43 fanboi comments?

8 months ago |I totally agree! I don’t think this website is related to Fujifilm in any way. I once took a photoshoot with an old Rolleicord as model, taken with my Nikon camera. Same principle.

8 months ago |just for your info, X100 shooter here with X-E1 on pre-order – there’s nothing wrong with pointing out that an image has been taken with camera X from manufacturer Y – X-Pro1 images, official ones were taken with Nikon D3X – are you gonna call me a full frame fanboi now? grow up and deal with it

8 months ago |What you said was-
“LOL!!! those promo images have been taken with Oly EM-5″
And this is the usual cry of the troll when found-
“grow up and deal with it”
that just cements what I suspected. Because you can’t sing trolololol song without “lol”. I’m pretty sure you’re supposed under a bridge somewhere to scare three billy goats.

8 months ago |yep that’s what I do all day long
