Undercover Retro Digital Cameras

The Fujifilm X-E1 Camera Looks Like a SLR But Is Really Digital

— January 7, 2013 — Tech
The Fujifilm X-E1 camera might look like a classic SLR camera, but it's really a modern digital camera undercover.

For photography enthusiasts eager to shed the "point and shoot" look of their current digital camera, the Fujifilm X-E1 camera gives them an option that will satisfy both their technical needs and their design desires. This photography looks much like the X-Pro1, but comes with all kinds of cool digital tricks.

It has a ten-pin data bus lens mount to start. What that does is send information to the camera instantly so you don't have to fiddle with the settings to get the right picture. It also features a high resolution OLED electronic viewfinder as well as a 0.1 second autofocus.

For fans of Instagram-type photo filtering, the Fujifilm X-E1 camera also has film simulation modes that effect tone and color.
