Fujifilm X-E1 Black
The 16.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor and EXR processor deliver sharp, true-to-life color without an optical low-pass filter, housed in a classic magnesium alloy body. The 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder and built-in film simulation modes offer a tactile, film-like shooting experience at a budget-friendly used price. This camera is best for stills photographers who prioritize analog controls and image character over modern video features or fast autofocus.
