I had some clear skies last night for a few hours so I put my new Fuji XE1 camera through its lightweight paces. This little camera packs a punch for its size. Its an APSC sized 16 megapixel sensor with its own unique colour matrix that does not require an anti aliasing filter giving it very good sharpness and it also has very good high ISO performance. Similar to my Nikon D800E.
It has a few nice features that make it easy to use at night and the zoom lens seems to be extremely high quality.
