Based on the statements on the inertia of the AF and the supposedly cheap processing I have long hesitated to buy this camera - completely unfounded - as it turned out. The camera costs a mere 500, - Euro. For a camera with a top sensor and a quite useful Objektiv.Nicht obtained as fast as a DSLR - but get quickly enough to most situations in the handle (a Canon G1x I then returned because the AF so slow and was useless for me). The camera is not forged iron but well made. I use the camera with the 18-55 / 2.8-4.5 - which is clearly against the valent 16-50iger Kit. It gives the device a pleasing feel - but is also much more difficult. The image quality of the combination is stunning. About higher ISO settings you have to worry - to ISO 3200 can be the ISO automatic inserting hesitation. The small flash is in many situations as a fill of (a banquet hall may not illuminate so that you - that he is also not intended). One can safely inserting him - flashed on faces you can hardly find. For more you can attach a bigger flash. As an accessory I recommend the handle and thumb rest - both improves the handling immensely - especially if you use a heavier lens. The camera is an entry-level device for mirrorless camera world - no more, no less. It is suitable for ambitious beginners or Gelgenheitsfotograf. If you switch from a compact camera, is about should be aware that cameras are not snapping with larger sensors and light stronger lenses. Prior knowledge of the interplay of aperture and shutter speed are necessary (depth of field) in order to achieve good results. Who is professionally photographed here also wrong and should look at the bigger models, which offer more possibilities with regard to setting and image control. The XM1 is also suitable for high-quality lenses from Fuji family. The 18-135 is not cheap but devastatingly good for a push - just as the 18-55 with an initial aperture of 2.8. However, the Fuji kit lenses are to many other manufacturers really good enough to get you started and compared.
For me, this camera is just right - for holidays and family and am enjoying the really good results. Whiners have here either a fully Fasche expectations or can not handle the device.
