OK, so we don't get an eye-level viewfinder, which may be a deal breaker for some, but if you have the cash and the inclination there are models further up the range such as the X-E2 and X-T1 that do. The Fujifilm X-A1 is, unassumingly, something of a classic.
Our editors hand-pick these products using a variety of criteria: they might be direct competitors targeting the same market segment, or they could be devices that are similar in size, performance, or feature sets.

Controls are both sufficiently large to allow easy activation and reassuringly stiff to the touch so as to avoid accidentally jogging the camera from one setting to another whilst reaching for it out of a bag. Incidentally, with lens attached the combo...
The Fujifilm X-A1 is the least expensive X-series camera that Fuji sells; while it doesn't feature the company's unique X-Trans image sensor, it's still a solid...
Most photographers will tell you that image quality is their biggest consideration when selecting a camera, but the build and functionality of the camera are also key factors along with the price. Many manufacturers reduce the functionality and build...
The Fujifilm X-A1 delivers an excellent standard of image quality, is an attractively designed camera and has a strong level of performance. While the lenses in the X series might not be the cheapest on the market, the X-A1 is well worthy of...
The Fujifilm X-A1 puts in a very good performance, and although we felt it was missing a few niceties when stood beside its closest competitors, we found them easy to overlook on account of the affordable price. That's the key thing about the...
When we reviewed the X-M1, we concluded that it was a camera with an excellent sensor in a chintzy body. The X-A1 keeps the same cheap suit, drops in a marginally inferior sensor, and charges you $200 less. Is that a good thing? It depends on what you're...
The new Fujifilm X-A1 is essentially the same camera as the X-M1 model that was introduced a few months ago, just with a different image sensor, some new colourways, and a significantly lower price tag. Despite swapping the technologically innovative...
The 16-50mm OIS kit lens, despite being a kit lens, delivers excellent image quality with a useful wide-angle to telephoto zoom range and includes a good sized lens hood. The combination of this lens and the compact body makes for a compelling package,...
We loved the image quality on Fujifilm's X-1Pro mirrorless camera (review), while the retro-metal body of the X-E1 (review) definitely tugged our heart-strings. Both though were expensive (bodies only R14 000 & R9 000 respectively), and in a country...
The Fuji X-A1 resides at the low end of the Fuji X-Series lineup of mirrorless cameras. The camera is so small and light. It feels much like a point and shoot camera in your hand when equipped with the Fuji XF 27mm f/2.8 pancake lens (40.5mm...
By Eric Butterfield The brick-like body of the X-A1 feels solid, with a slight contour of a hand grip and a textured surface to help you keep it firmly in your grasp. In addition to the ability to change lenses, this mirrorless model aims to be an...
