Great Thread! Just ordered mine with 18-55 kit; only getting it end of the year though!
Any know if the 58mm lens filter is the correct one for the 18-55?

Getting rid of my Canon setup and look forward to play with the XE1! (24-70L 10/10 condition for sale any takers???)

I just called Fuji Singapore and they said the kit with the zoom lens will be out 'next week or the week after'!! Price is about $100 more than the 35mm kit.

if it is as sharp as the 35mm across all focal length wif equal IQ... definitely a hot item for X system users...

Frankly speaking, my X-E1 was an impulse buy. I just knew that it shared the same sensor as its bigger brother the X-Pro, and I wanted a lighter system to complement my DSLR. If the 18-55 is as good as the 35mm in terms of build quality and IQ. I might just ditch my DSLR entirely!

Patiently waiting for reviews on d 18-55. Cheers.

correct?

should i get the Xe1 or nex 6?

as i've gathered from the internet :

NEX6
new kit "powered" zoom is better than old ones.
evf better & more responsive than fuji
new "hybrid" AF faster than nex7, i guess will confirm be faster than xe1, but still let's forget about moving things & sports...
a lack of sharp, fast glass for e-mount at present.
more compact than xe1
probably much cheaper (expect SG$1400 with kit zoom)

XE1
better ooc jpegs, overall IQ
slower AF (might be irritating though not really a concern in most cases)
quite a bit more expensive, lens also expensive. (expect sg$2100 with kit zoom when launched)
good lens lineup in the works

Did some shots a week back between the X-E1 and the Leica M9, guest starring the D600.

Shot using the D600.

Set1 : m9
Set2 600
Set3 :X-E1

Dear fellow X E1 user,

What is the filmware for your body?

My X E1 version is 1.0.

And I can't use the filmware I downloaded for my ex-X Pro1.

Anyone of you can guide me along to upgrade it?

I am unable to find the filmware 2.0 on the Fuji website.

Thanks in advance

both are good cameras..but since u are asking in fuji forum, the ans is obvious.
imo, i think fuji lens line up is more interesting..and given the quality of the lens that they have made...i will presume that the future lens will be just as astounding..
since u are getting into the system, then better think abt the overall lens line up....body will be used and replaced overtime..but good lens will stay with u for a longer time..

If I am not wrong the firmware is for x-pro1 not for x-e1..

Just got a XE 1 over the weekend. Firmware version 1. Can't find newer version for body, did a update
for the 35mm lens to version 2.

Have similar thoughts before. Got the XE1 eventually.
The lens line up looks good. IQ and ISO very good.

So every XE1 owners have V1.0 filmware?

I thought I read from some where it's suppose to be the newest V2.0?

It's like having my old X Pro 1, and X100 all over again.

However after using V1.0 then used V2.0 then back to V1.0, I can see significant difference.

Urgh! I have to adapt to V1.0 again.

No way we can have it updated to the newset V2.0 right?

Can't find the update at any Fuji websites (Different countries website).

Nopez. FW is equipment specific. X-E1 is on V1.0 as d latest.
