Fuji X-A1 (2013)
An entry-level mirrorless digital camera with an APS-C sensor and Fujifilm X mount, announced in September 2013.
Overview
The Fuji X-A1 is a compact system camera. Fuji brought it out as an affordable way into the X-mount mirrorless lineup. It was announced on September 17, 2013, and sat below the higher-end models as a lighter, simpler option. It shares its core specs and design with the earlier X-M1, but in a smaller, cheaper body. It is an entry-level mirrorless digital camera and is now discontinued, though used units show up regularly.

Design
The X-A1 has a lightweight, compact body, smaller and lighter than the earlier X-mount cameras. It uses a conventional APS-C sensor. Most of its internal design and specification comes straight from the X-M1. The differences are cost and external styling.
Context
Fuji pitched the X-A1 as a cheap way into the X-mount mirrorless system, following the X-M1. It shares core components with that model but was priced lower to bring in new users. It was marketed as a way to make Fujifilm's mirrorless technology more accessible without giving up sensor quality.
