Fujifilm X-E1 in the RAW test

Fujifilm uses the same 16 megapixel sensor as in the top model X-Pro 1 (1,600 euros) in the 350 g light, 3.9 cm flat, mirrorless system X-E1 (900 Euro): an “X-Trans” CMOS with APS-C format, which thanks to its quasi-irregular color filter structure manages without low-pass filter. There is no video function in either case. Compared to the X-Pro 1, Fujifilm saves on the X-E1 at the viewfinder, here a simple, electronic variant, and on the monitor (2.8 instead of 3 inches)


Image quality


The Fujifilm X-E1 deserves a big praise for its JPEG image quality, can not hold this good result however in the RAW test. In fact, the RAW resolution can only be increased appreciably at higher sensitivities, especially at ISO 800 and 1,600 (partly at 1,903 LP / BH).

The non-linear interventions are even stronger in the raw data we developed than in the corresponding JPEGs (1.3 kurtosis). With the Fujifilm RAW converter, we were able to achieve slightly better results without topping the JPEG result of the camera in the basic setting.


Note: This is the RAW test of the Fujifilm X-E1, which focuses solely on the image quality of the mirrorless system camera in RAW mode (more about our test procedures and the new RAW test). For all technical details of the camera and a comprehensive review, including the evaluation of processing and operation, please read our JPEG test of the Fujifilm X-E1
