Good for him. The AF on the 1st generation E1 sucks. It is terrible for non-stationary subjects and in low light. Fuji has been issuing firmware upgrades on a regular bases that actually improves the AF. The EVF in low light gets all smeary, not much you can do about that. In low light move the three position lever on the front of the camera to 'M' and focus with the AFL button. That reduces the smearing.Hey, Gary, my boyfriend just got a Fuji XE-1. We were looking at the pictures last night, comparing them to those taken with the Pentax K5 he got. You were right - I'll be happier with the Fuji. The K5 might be more intuitive for me to use, but when it comes to the final image, I definitely prefer the Fuji.
Edit: There wasn't anything wrong with the Pentax pictures. They are quite nice and it's a great camera. But my preferences run towards a look that the Fuji can capture better than a DSLR can.
Tell him congrats! The E1 and the X-Trans sensor makes a very nice little, rangefinderesque package. PhotoNinja, Capture One, Lightroom and Aperture all do a pretty good job with the X-trans RAW images. If you want free look into LightZone.
