Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Fujifilm X-E1, which was introduced in February 2013 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 16.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Sony A57, which was introduced in September 2012 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 16.0MP APS-C sensor. There is only 6 months difference between X-E1 and A57 so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Fujifilm X-E1 and Sony A57 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Fujifilm X-E1 and Sony A57 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
