Having a Fuji X100s, I recently bought the X-E1. Based on past camera purchases, the provided user manuals are confusing because they are typically written by engineers and not photographers. Hence, I bought this book to help me with my new XE1.This book has excellent information. However, it is written to cover two Fuji cameras, the Pro1 and the XE1. Additionally, the writer is very familiar with a third Fuji camera, the X100. This family of cameras share much in common but there are some distinct differences in certain areas of operation between the three.The writer presents much of the information in a confused manner because I think he forgets which camera is is describing. For example, he describes focus peaking in a manner that makes the reader believe the X-E1 has focus peaking. It does not ! I assume that the Pro1 has it.I got the impression that the author was insufficiently familiar with the XE1 to understand that the two cameras are different in operation sometimes.Additionally, the description of Flash use is very confusing, again because the author is confused himself about which camera he is describing. However, if the reader uses his camera's operator manual in tandem with this book, the reader can sort it all out. Unfortunately, it is a pity that the author failed to properly proof read his own book before it was put into print.There are portions of the book that present lengthy descriptions of topics that are only tangentially related to the two cameras. For example, too much space is devoted to sensor cleaning. The information is useful but readily available on the internet. One would get the impression that the Fuji cameras are especially susceptible to dusty sensors, or that this is one of the author's favorite areas of interest.In conclusion, many of the self-help type books for photographers are poorly written and are cryptic . This book is better than most but is flawed.Would I buy the book again ? Yes. As a Kindle purchase it was not too expensive. I place blame for the flaws in this book on the publisher, not the writer . Poor oversight and editing are to blame. But this seems to be the norm.These are my opinions and others may draw other conclusions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Everything a camera-specific book should be *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019* If anyone out there wants to learn how to write superbly about how to get the best and most out of some technological product — camera, computer, smartphone, drone, etc. — study this or another book by Rico Pfirstinger. He's got it down to a slick, smooth, class act.For starters, Pfirstinger knows these cameras forward, backward and inside out. He's learned them, used them and communicated with the people who made them. He's thought of everything necessary to get you comfortably and knowledgeably beyond the cut-and-dried contents of the cameras' official manuals. Tips, advice, explanations and useful insights — he's left no nugget of useful, interesting knowhow unturned. Pfirstinger's prose is comfortably conversational and unerringly clear as a bell.While my review headline says "camera-specific book," note this: If you happen to have another model Fujifilm X-camera, there's still much you can learn from this book. And, as I indicated, if you want to write about some other camera or tech gadget, you'd do well to study how Pfirstinger does it. I've read more than one or two such books, and none of them impressed me the way this one has. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Pleasant Surprise--Even for XE-1 Users *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2013* Having previously worked with some of the more famous camera guide series, only to find them largely rehashed manuals, I was not expecting much from this book, but for less than ten bucks thought it might offer some useful tips for my new Fujifilm XE-1. I found it to be full of insight about setting up and using the X-Pro 1 (almost all of which is transferable to the XE-1) that I would never have found on my own without much trial and error, certainly not with the help of the skimpy Fuji manual. Novice and intermediate photographers moving from a point-and-shoot, or from a bulky DSLR that collected too much dust on the shelf, will find loads of information here to make the most of the extensive manual controls of the XE-1. If you are a highly skilled and experienced photographer, there may be less new information here for you, but the author's extensive knowledge of the details (and quirks) of the X-Pro 1 should be worth at least the modest cost of this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1638695-mastering-the-fujifilm-x-e1-and-x-pro1](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1638695-mastering-the-fujifilm-x-e1-and-x-pro1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
