by purchasing your camera using the link below, you’ll support Fujirumors. You won’t pay a single penny more for your camera, but a small commision goes to FR. It’s big help for the site and keeps it ticking over.

Our X-pert Rico will get his production XQ1 soon (and write a first look about it. In the meantime see his XQ1 Flickr set here). If you’ve checked out his X-E2 first look here then you’ll know that it will be worth to read it… in his X-E2 first look Rico called the XQ1 “an X20 on steroids“. Looking forward to his review in the next days! So stay tuned via google+, facebook and twitter.

In the meantime it’s well worth to read also the XQ1 first impressions at DPreview here:

“The XQ1, therefore, takes the larger-than-usual 2/3″ sensor that we found offered very good image quality in the Fujifilm X20, and places it in a genuinely pocketable body. That X-Trans CMOS II sensor also enables exceptionally fast autofocus – even the pre-production XQ1 we used for this article has to count as one of the quickest compacts we’ve seen. For fans of manual focus, the XQ1 also offers a ‘Peaking’ display to help get the sharpest results.”
