hey there I'm Josh Coleman we've seen it and this is a look at the fujifilm xf1 the smallest of the company's premium x-series compacts it's a camera that's really more about design than anything else it's got a nice aluminum body covered with a synthetic leather that looks and feels good to me and it's available in black red and tan versions adding to the design is the manual 4x zoom lens you pull out the leads from the body and twist it not only to zoom but to turn the camera on to it gives you more precise zoom control and there are focal length markings on the lens barrel though you can view them on screen as well when you're done shooting you can slip it back into standby position so you can more quickly turn it on and shoot or put the lens all the way back in for travel since this is aimed at enthusiasts you get a full assortment of shooting options raw capture and some extra controls over settings what you don't get is an option for an external flash or viewfinder and although its image sensors better than your average point-and-shoot its best results reduced resolution to six megapixels also while the lenses starting aperture of f-18 is great to have in low light it's only available at its widest focal length dropping to a slow f 49 when zoomed in if you can work with those few drawbacks though this is a good-looking camera that's fun to shoot with I'm Josh Coleman and that's the fujifilm except one
