That's ugly strap lug.

...no focus peaking during video !

Any improvement vs earlier video modes? (looks crippled still, on paper)

The X-Pro1 and X-E1 with manual control dials, and built in viewfinders were a joy to use due to classic styling and quick photographic control. The Fujifilm X-M1 on the other hand no longer features as many external controls, and with the 16-50mm OIS lens aperture and shutter speed is controlled by the two control wheels. However, the additional of a 3inch tilting screen and built in Wi-Fi, along with a more compact body helps make up for this.

Image quality is very good with excellent colour, and fans of Fujifilm colour and film will find the X-M1 gives very pleasing results, with very good detail, and reliable exposure. Focus speeds are a little on the sluggish side, and indoors, in low-light focus occassionally missed, causing us to have a blurred photo.

Now, with the new X-M1 Fuji has aimed at yet another market segment, the entry level CSC buyer for whom the lack of an EVF is less important than the savings that it entails. The sensor is the same as those in its bigger brothers, so this camera represents quite a bargain. Little has been lost by way of controls either, and an articulated rear LCD is very handy. And to compete with smartphones, wi-fi is now built-in, as has become de-rigeur with almost all new cameras.

High iso performance of the XM1 is excellent as it is the same sensor that is in the X Pro 1. The grain that is in any of the images is very tightly knit and looks very film-like.

The sensor at the heart of the XM1 is capable of recovering lots of details in both the highlights and shadows.

Fujifilm doesn’t allow any sort of manual control for video in their cameras. A user can set the ISO and/or the aperture or shutter speed, but not everything at once.

There isn’t a single major reason why you shouldn’t go with the XM1 unless you want a viewfinder.

The X-M1 is small enough to be used comfortably one-handed, yet the camera has a sturdy build. It's a comfortable model to use, and even though the camera body is small, the buttons are of a good size and are easy to reach and press.

This camera's image quality and performance levels are pretty good too versus other entry-level ILCs, although those aspects of the X-M1 aren't quite as impressive when compared to all models in its price range. You can shoot in RAW or JPEG with this camera, which is a feature that doesn't appear in every ILC model. The X-M1 does a very nice job with low light photos too, thanks to its popup flash and good performance at high ISO settings, as well as a large APS-C sized CMOS image sensor.

The X-M1 offers a high-quality, high-resolution LCD screen that can tilt away from the camera. A good LCD screen is needed as there's no viewfinder option with this camera. Fujifilm included a nice mix of automatic and manual control features, which makes the X-M1 a good option for a beginning photographer who's looking to improve his or her photography skills by steadily learning how to exert more manual control over the scene. There's a lot to like about the X-M1. If you want a stylish design in a camera, you'll be very pleased with your choice.

The X-M1 has a simple and accessible control layout. There are dual control dials: one on the top plate, the other on the rear. The rear dial is flush with the back plate of the camera, and takes some getting used-to. Settings can be adjusted quickly with the direct buttons on the rear of the camera, or using the Q Menu that should look familiar to anyone who has used a higher-end Fuji camera in recent years.

Focusing performance isn't as snappy as, say, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6

Exposure is accurate in most cases, with occasional overexposure and clipped highlights (the latter can be reduced by using the DR Correction feature). Fuji cameras are well known for their very vivid colors, and the X-M1 carries on that tradition. One thing we did notice is that areas of high frequency green detail can be a bit smudged, possibly due to the X-Trans color filter..

Fujifilm X-M1 produces images with a lot of detail and very pleasing colors, and it has body that is significantly smaller than a DSLR. While it might not have best resolution that you can get in an interchangeable-lens camera, it’s absolutely enough for the needs of the vast majority of shooters.

Decidedly entry-level by its lack of a viewfinder, the X-M1 offers a simple feature-set yet has a high number of controls, including dual control-dials.
