This is not a complete review, there are many on the net. I would like to just mention what I like and what I do not like or where there is a room for improvement on Fuji XT1. First a little bit about my previous shooting experience. Note that I am not a professional but a serious amateur who often engages in paid jobs too but photography is more of my passion than my job. I have been shooting primarily canon (started with Canon 300D, 20D, 5D, 5D MKii and many L lenses) and whenever I need more flash or strobist type of work, I would shoot Nikon D700. See some examples here on flicker. [...] As most of you would agree that when the above equipment is not being used, it is laying safely packed in camera bags and it is a project in itself to get them out and shoot. With my growing age, I felt the need of having a camera that would sit on my desk, waiting for being picked up anytime I want and is lightweight but have a fast lens, even a fixed fast lens. Fuji released X100 and I got it in its very early days. See the unboxing pictures of X100 here (play as a slideshow with music);[...] It had lots of limitations but it brought passion and fun back into my shooting. The limitations were mostly on the hardware, not the picture quality which was premium. Soon I felt that if I have a body that produces the quality of fuji files with an interchangeable lens, I can shoot lot more than I can do with my canon or nikon but I also felt that the mirrorless technology needs bit of time to mature. So I waited until XPro1 came along. I bought XPro1 with 14mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.4, 55-200 and 60mm f/2.4 macro. I was blown away by the quality of hardware and of course by the quality of files. See my XPro1 equipment photos here (play as a slideshow) [...] I however was not at all happy with autofocus speed and felt it needs a huge improvement there also I felt that a good quality EVF improvement will change the game as "CHIMPING" will not be required. On my canon and Nikon, since I cannot see what excatly my final picture will look like so I had to preview often how does my picture looks like in terms of exposure and bokeh. With EVF I was able to see the photo exactly as it would turn out after shooting. So the story continues but I did not like the refresh rate on the XPRO 1 and the fact that it was bit clumsy to respond but the picture and the build quality of the equipment kept me shooting with it. A few months later came XT1. What a game changer it has been. The EVF is bright, big and beautiful. If you shoot with fast lenses most of the time, you will be amazed at kind of 3D effect that it gives you when you see through the view finder. Soon after getting it, I went on a trip to Malaysia and Singapore and with reluctance in my mind that should I take my trusted DSLR's with me or only take fuji XT1 with me, I took both. But wallah, after shooting first day, I kept my nikon with its 14-24 f/2.8 and 24-70 f/2.8 securely packed in my bag, while I shot 90% of the trip with Fuji XT1, 14mm f/2.8 and 35 mm f/1.4 and some with 55-200 mm lens. I came back as a happy traveler with some amazing shots from Fuji. My pros and cons are now based on my 5 days of continuous shooting with XT1, 14mm f/2.8 and 35mm f/1.4. Strengths: 1. Excellent files output, it is first time in my life I felt comfortable letting the camera process the Black and white jpgs for me, while I kept the color version RAW for later processing. The out of camera jpg's Black and white will blow you away. I can share the settings for Black and white jpg in camera processing if someone wants them. 2. Great EVF, big, bright and something that will put much fun and pleasure in your shooting. 3. Great in your hand feel 5. Lightweight and very much in stealth mode for street and candid shooting. The whole kit (fuji xt1, 14mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.4 and 55-200 were still lighter (or almost same) weight as my Nikon D700 plus 14-24 f/2.8 lens) 6. I like the viewfinder in the middle like DSLR rather than on the side as rangefinder camera or on XPro1 but that is only a personal preference. 7. I was able to transfer the black and white jpgs through camera's in built wifi to my iphone and straight to facebook. My family in Pakistan and saudi arabia were updated in minutes of my finishing a tour of a place. 8. The biggest advantage, it has brought fun back to my shooting without adding any weight to my camera bag. Weaknesses: 1. I feel that the Autofocus mode for sports is still lacking and a improvement there will bring fuji huge benifits to their business. 2. A full frame body will take Fuji's business to the heights they have never dreamt of. Through my photos, I have many friends willing to convert provided fuji has a full frame option available. My last frustration (nothing to do with camera) is that Lightroom still does not provide support for Fuji XT1 files. I have fooled my way in through a hack but that is not enough. Although adobe has released a RAW converter but not integrated into lightroom yet. Thanks for reading a lengthy review. Welcome to ask questions if you have any. I have yesterday got myself fuji 56mm f/1.2 from Adorama and absolutely loving it on my XT1.

On the whole, I feel that this is the best camera I have ever owned. To keep this concise, I will simply list the positives and negatives, staring with the negatives because there are so few! Negative - - Focus speed - If you are wanting to predominantly shoot sports or animals on the run, then this may not be the camera for you. I am not saying that the autofocus is not very good, it is just that it is not up to the level I get out of my Nikon DSLR. With a fast focusing lens like the 70-200mm, how well that camera does at picking things up and focusing on them is amazing! This camera does very well with the zoom lenses but just not as well. Nor does it perform as well in low light situations. When using the prime lenses, it predominantly does not do as well as it does with the zoom lenses. However, if you are in a situation where manual focus is adequate, the manual focus assist methods on this camera is wonderful and makes focusing very easy. This can be very nice when wanting to focus at specific distances to be sure of the depth of field. That is my only negative aspect of this camera. Positive - There are more than I have time to list but here are some of the major ones +++ All of the lenses. Every lens that I have purchased is incredibly sharp. You can get a very fast lens (f1.4 or even better) that performs amazingly, even very strong to the edge of the image wide open and for a reasonable price. + This camera produces wonderfully sharp images. Much better than any Nikon, Canon, or Sony I have ever used. When you make a large blow-up of an image, it really jumps out at you with the sharpness you get to see. + The controls are perfect. It has all the right buttons to make getting the adjustments you need quick and easy to do. This may sound minor to some, but how much more easy and enjoyable this makes the whole experience is very valuable to me. + The images which naturally come out of the camera need much less post-processing that any other camera. The film simulation settings available are wonderful and enable a person to get awesome looking photos straight from the camera. + The viewfinder is perfect. It is incredibly sharp with very accurate color. + The weatherproofing has allowed me to shoot in many conditions I could not with another camera. It is incredibly well made so I have no fear of taking it out in a rain or snow storm. + Being able to tilt the monitor on the back allows me to take photos from very unique views that I would not be able to do otherwise + Compared to a DSLR, this camera is MUCH lighter which makes hiking with it many times more enjoyable! There are too many other positive details to mention! This is simply my favorite camera I have ever owned!

Despite being released in 2014, the Fujifilm X-T1 is still a very superb camera. For my intents and purposes, the 16MP sensor is plenty. Subjectively, I do agree with those that feel the earlier Fuji sensors have a distinct charm for how they process JPEGs. Even though I'm used to cameras with in-body image stabilization, I've learned to adapt with using higher shutter speeds and staying as steady as possible. Aesthetics-wise, the graphite silver gives a premium feel to this camera, and features-wise it is very photographer-focused with dedicated ISO, shutter, and exposure compensation dials. I like the ease of switching drive modes and photometry with their dedicated dials as well! The LCD and EVF screens are nice and clear, and it is easy to use focus peaking clearly and cleanly to ensure sharpness. Video recording is decent, but that is not the focus as to why I bought this camera. If you are fine with 1080p recording, this one is ok, but you would fare better with the newer cameras with far more expanded options and quality. The only downside I feel is that the shutter button doesn't have a screw-in hole to put a custom shutter button, but the button is elevated plenty where it really is a non-issue. Overall, I'm glad on making the move to the older Fujifilm cameras, and this one is up there as a gem of the first-generation Fujifilm X-series!

My precise score would've been 4.5/ 5. On whole, the Fuji X-T1 is one heck of a camera - probably the best mirrorless camera to date. But by no means is it the perfect camera. The thing with the camera is - some of its features redefine awesomeness; whereas some oversights and choices are just...dumb. That is why, despite the fact that this is probably one of the best cameras ever, I cannot rate it at 5 stars.. If you don't want to read through the detailed review below: here's the nutshell: Absolutely superb camera with more technical innovation in one small body than entire systems put together. Simply outstanding picture quality (especially with excellent Fuji X lenses); best EVF ever, great build quality and handling (except the 4 way button; the SD card door which others have pointed out doesn't bother me - it'll hold) and generally excellent ergonomics (except minor gripes about using the ISO control wheel). As I said before, I think this is, on the whole, the best mirrorless camera as of date, and to be fair, at an excellent price point. However, the perfect score is missed due to some really daft issues - such as a difficult to use 4-way control; lack to direct access to AF point selection; difficult to use ISO wheel and lack of ISO 100 in RAW mode. While the above cons are real and unfortunate, they are not enough to detract from the general awesomeness of the camera; and coupled with the fact that the system itself has some of the best lens choices at attractive price points - obviously a highly recommended product and one I will be keeping for sure. I did not have any light leak issue on my piece, I checked. Pros: 1. Viewfinder: Obviously the most obvious attraction of the camera. large and sumptuous. Very user friendly in providing useful information like histogram etc. and the information overlay nicely adjusts for portrait shooting. Also, there is absolutely no viewfinder lag whatsoever on account of the very high refresh rates. 2. Dual view mode on EVF and LCD: very useful for quick manual focusing. Allows you to check composition and precision of focus at the same time. 3. Picture quality: I think Fuji X sensors combined with Fuji X lenses provide the best IQ short of high end full frame. In my non-technical comparisons - IQ seemed as good as my D600 with high end Nikon lenses. The colors have a special look to them though the LR color profiles (introduced in LR 5.4) don't do justice to them if you are shooting RAW. I save the capture in both RAW and jpeg, and sometimes the JPEGs are good enough without any further processing. If the camera could output 16bit tiff files (fairly, most cameras don't because of space/memory considerations) it'd have been best of both worlds! 4. Continuous AF: very high accuracy on my own test shots and professional reviewers seem to have this opinion also. Finally, a Fuji X camera with proper AF tracking 5. Single point AF: Very fast compared to my previous experience with mirrorless on the whole, and Fuji in particular. 6. Hardly any shutter lag noticed. I found this is a bit of a problem with mirrorless cameras in the past (including with my much loved x100s) 7. Manual focus assists: The focus peaking especially works really well; though the rangefinder B&W split screen was less useful than I hoped (since the patch tends to get quite noisy affecting visibility) 8. Dials, dials and dials: The more the merrier of course - and Fuji X-T1 has more than any camera I can recall (including old film ones). What's not to like??? (except setting Auto ISO probably - and some slight issues of ergonomics in using the ISO dial with the eye to the VF; and the fact that the Exposure Comp. dial can moved around in the bag - see cons) 9. Adjustable Fn buttons: Almost all the buttons (though not the dials) can be adjusted and changed by the user. That's great for customizing the camera to suit your style of shooting. 10. 2 extra Fn keys: Useful for setting functions you access often - I use one for changing Auto ISO settings (upon changing lenses); and the other one for selecting Macro mode [this allows lenses (even non-macro lenses) to focus faster in close distances] 11. The Fuji X system: The importance of looking at the system as a whole cannot be over-stated. The Fuji X system is a really attractive one right now with great prime and zoom lenses that are available - especially the recently released 14mm f2.8, 23mm f1.4; the 10-24 f4 OIS and my new favorite - the 56mm f1.2. I also think the prices for the lenses are about right. If you think they are expensive - compare them Canon and Nikon offerings of similar performance and you will be surprised. The IQ of the RAW files depends on both the sensor and the lenses and the Fuji X system shines on both fronts. 12. Takes UHS-II SD cards - will be great for burst shooting 13. wifi implementation: Largely successful. I had no problems connecting my camera to my smartphone; copying pictures or remotely controlling the camera 14. Build quality and handling: Truly well built - very compact and ergonomic - provides an easy grip and feels natural. I've not had occasion to use the camera in bad weather yet (just some light rain in my last shoot) but the weatherproofing is a potentially useful feature for travel and nature photographers, what with the weather-sealed lenses being also announced. 15. Using legacy lenses is a breeze with the large EVF and focus assist methods. 16,17 and 18: Looks looks and looks!!! Cons: Major 1. Horrible 4 way Control dial: Why why why? very difficult to use - it is so depressed into the camera body that I have to use my nails instead of fingertips (granted my fingers are thicker than average). This is all the more disappointing after my experience with x100s - which I think has one of the best implemented 4-way control/control wheels! I guess they had to save money somewhere to keep the price competitive but they chose the single most important camera controller. The biggest issue in day to day shooting comes while trying to set the AF point (more on AF toggling below) 2. AF Point setting: - Two big issues - one; you have to press one key to activate AF-point setting. This is not expected of a pro or advanced amateur camera. Second, the AF-point selection is though the 4-way control which is (as mentioned above) is horrible. Both together make the AF point setting a not-so pleasurable experience (though this does get a bit easier with use). For objects a bit further away or at smaller apertures it is probably easier on the whole to focus and recompose. One tip: the default button to activate AF selection is the down key in the 4 way controller. I have reprogrammed it to the Fn button in front of the camera (this is where your middle finger will be when holding the camera normally), which seems to work better. 3. Flash Sync speed of 1/180: Very low IMO (you will see no difference shooting at 1/200 though). Was a normal 1/250 too much to ask?? Olympus OMD cameras have a flash sync speed of 1/320 (almost a stop faster) When shooting in daylight, this extra half to 2/3 stop can be extremely useful. 4. Lack of good wireless TTL options: This is a problem with the system as a whole to be honest and not the camera - but you buy the camera, you buy into the system, so its a valid point. Pro and advanced amateur shooters would like a good wireless TTL system to be supported by their camera for fast and dirty flash set ups such as required in location shoots, weddings etc. Fuji does not offer this yet. Rumors are something is in the works; in which case I really hope that the the X-T1 will be compatible as well when it does come. 5. Min. and Max. ISO while shooting RAW is 200 and 6400, and not 100 (offered in most cameras) and 12800 (offered in similar price-point cameras). If you shoot at lower or higher ISO than this range, you get only JPEG outputs. The higher limit is not much an issue honestly since I hardly go over 3200. However, not being able to shoot RAW at ISO 100 IS a problem. This is because when shooting in bright sunlight at wide apertures; one needs the lowest ISO possible (also see gripe about max. shutter speed). For example, in most cases, you wont be able to use the 56mm f1.2 at widest aperture in bright daylight. One has to use an ND Filter, which is a pain. This is all the more an important shortcoming, because of the max. shutter speed being 1/4000 instead of 1/8000 as offered in Ollie OMD-EM1 and many other competing cameras. Minor gripes: 1. Max Shutter speed of 1/4000 (as compared to 1/8000 for Ollie and Panasonic flagships): wouldn't be an issue except for the minimum ISO issue pointed out above (especially since one needs wider apertures for the same depth of field effect in an APS-C size sensor as compared to FF). But for that, 1/4000s is usually plenty good enough for uses and is not much of an issue . 2. EVF/LCD can be a bit noisy - especially when using on MF mode (I think the camera raises the sharpness levels of the EVF/LCD in such a case). I think in a trade-off between slower response time and noisier EVF/LCD; Fuji chose the latter. Cant really say its a bad choice in theory, but maybe they didn't get the sweet spot just right. However, this is mainly a problem with third party lenses (because the lens closes down to the aperture you are actually using while composing itself, hence decreasing light gathered by the sensor and thereby increasing noise) 3. Auto ISO: Would've been nice if the minimum shutter speed could be pegged to the lens' focal length (or 1.5 times thereof) since that is how many people would like to program it. However, this feature is not common in most cameras yet. 4. Dials: Ex.Comp. dial moves around too easily. Sometimes quickly taken pictures (and these will usually be of quickly unfolding scenes which you cannot come back to) will get overexposed or underexposed because of the dial having been moved accidentally while dangling from your shoulder or in the bag.). Contrarily, the ISO button (which requires a toggle to pressed before moving) is very difficult to turn while composing with the eye on the viewfinder. mainly because of having to keep the toggle pressed with one finger while turning with the others - and also because the dial is bit stiff). Given the small size of the camera; one risks poking one's left eye in the process. 5. Q button/ Q menu: generally a nice feature for accessing key camera features - but it would be nice if the menu was customizable. Currently, most of the options in the Q menu are relevant only for JPEGS shooters and RAW shooters cannot get much purchase out of this menu.

You've probably already read all the specs and features if you're diving into Amazon reviews, so I'm just going to stick with my impression: This is what my photography needed. Too often I've wanted to carry a kit with me wherever I go should an opportunity present itself. Too often I would leave my quality glass at home and snap away with my phone for convenience sake. When I did bring my gear too often I found myself spraying and praying I'd pull a decent photo out. Too often I'd whisper the taboo phrase in my head, "just fix it in post." The X-T1 is helping me break these bad habits. It doesn't feel like a chore to bring it places due to the small body size. It feels like shooting film, reminding me to place as much intent behind a photo as if I were shooting film and the pixels weren't free. Maybe it's because I started on film and the camera body is so reminiscent of an old 35mm classic. It's a pleasure to use. There's so many small things Fuji gets right on the technical side as I'm sure you've read elsewhere - and the color reproduction is gorgeous. I normally shoot RAW exclusively but I've found myself shooting RAW+JPEG and liking what I see straight out of camera. The different film emulations all look great. I've shot mostly Nikon for about 15 years, and have grown very accustom to the ergonomics and menu layouts of their systems. Making the switch took about a month to get fully used to the quirky but still good menus. I love this camera. It's simple, operates how you would expect, great build quality, small, and doesn't feel like it's missing anything. Every lens in the Fuji X lineup is of the highest quality - my favorite being the 23mm (35mm equivalent) 1.4. The only two things I would give minor cons to are the battery life, and video quality. I don't shoot video so that's a non-issue for me. This camera has lit a fire under my ass to tackle some photo ideas I've been putting off for too long. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves photography. It's a no-brainer.

Some Cameras give you great images but have poor design that interferes with the ability to take pictures precisely when and the way you want. Others are great on the design, but don't match up to the best in class when in comes to image quality. The XT1 shines in both respects. The images are the best I have ever seen out of any camera (and I have owned about 40 digital cameras over the last 15 years). While many cameras force you to use RAW to get the best image quality. The JPEG engine on the XT1 is so good, most people will likely not bother with the RAW. (I know that this sounds like heresy to some pros and enthusiasts). As far as the ergonomics, if you like retro-style with dials and buttons to select your photo shooting options, then you will love this camera. For most settings you don't need to dig through menus. You have dials for exposure compensation, shutter speed, ISO settings, Bracket/Continuous Shoots/Single shot/panorama etc., spot/matrix/center weighted metering (that is my favorite). A flag style dial on the front of the camera lets you select autofocus modes or manual focus. You can also access the various settings with the menu button. For the most important settings, you can press the Q button on the back which brings up a screen that shows the major settings on the camera. You can make the changes you want right on the screen. I like to set NR to -1, and Sharpness to +1. The Electronic View Finder (EVF)is large, and gives you a view that rivals an optical viewfinder...except it provides way more information. It works very well whether you wear glasses or not. I love the way the LCD automatically turns off when you look through the EVF, and then turns on automatically as you pull your eye away from the EVF. You can customize virtually everything you seen on the EVF and LCD screens. For the best responsiveness (fast auto-focus and fast time from turning on the camera to first shot), I highly recommend you go to Power Management in the 2nd Set Up menu and turn on HIGH PERFORMANCE. It uses more battery, but I did not find that a problem. Once you have it on, auto focus is lightning fast. Auto-focus is able lock in very fast. Where my Fuji XE1 hunts and takes a while to Auto-focus, the XT1 locks in instantly. Very impressive. The WiFi button on the top plate worked well with the Fuji App on my Ipad. I could control the camera (although I don't know what I would use that function for) and I could import pictures into the Ipad (very useful). There are several button on the camera that you can customize to work the particular function you want...like ISO selection, Face Detection, and many others. Some people complain about the 4 way buttons being a bit to indented. Perhaps this is so. But I had no problem with them. There is only one negative I could find, and it wasn't a big deal. The Movie button is a bit too easy to press accidentally. Overall, this is a superb camera...the best camera I have ever owned. The images are absolutely first rate...even for the pixel peepers out there. Highly, Highly recommended.

I received my X-T1 yesterday, and got to play with it for a few hours. Setting it up was easy, as I already own an X-E1 (which will be sold shortly). In one sentence, the X-T1 is the real deal. All they hype about this camera is well warranted…it is a great camera. While the X-E1 offers the same image quality, the performance is just not on the same level. My main complaint about the X-E1 was the lagging AF, which is always a hit or miss, the small and jittery EVF, and the small and low resolution rear LCD. The X-T1 has great focusing in terms of both, speed and accuracy (I have lenses 18mm f2, 35mm f1.4, and 60mm f2.4). The EVF is almost like an OVF it is so good and large. The rear LCD is big and feels like high quality glass (or whatever it is made of). All in all a great performer. Again, this camera is the real deal; no BS. My set-up is: Front command dial = aperture (for lenses without the aperture ring) Rear command dial = shutter speed adjustments Front fn = select custom setting (I have some for portraiture in color and BW, and the rest for landscapes and things like street photography, again, in color and BW) Top fn = timer Top arrow = macro Right arrow = WB Bottom arrow = focus point selector Left arrow = focus mode What I don’t like about it: While the little flash is good, the system is not. Why is the flash compensation buried in the menus? The SD card door feels weak even when closed. It does not attach firmly to the camera body. The arrow buttons were not designed correctly…they are a bit concave (vs. domed in the X-E1) which makes pressing them a bit of a pain. Thankfully, once you set up your custom settings, there is not much of a need to mess around with these things. Compared to other cameras I own / have owned: vs. X-E1 - much faster response times and focus performance, better EVF and LCD displays. vs. OMD-EM5 – better ergonomics, better EVF and LCD displays, better Image quality, equally good response times and focusing performance vs. D600 - aesthetics and portability are X-T1 advantages, but I guess that is it. Everything else the D600 can do better. Why compare them? Because they cost about the same!

Although I do find the back button pad to be a little bit squishy, as others have noted for this camera, I find the overall use and image quality to be outstanding. When combined with several of the Fuji lenses, I have been very happy with the IQ - especially with the fantastic 56mm/f1.2 lens. The ability to directly control camera settings without digging through menus makes shooting fun again, and I love this camera for its weight and portability - makes me want to take it everywhere! Having fun with photography again and will never lug an old heavy DSLR with a clunky mirror again. The EVF is outstanding - bright and clear, and a joy to use - I don't miss an OVF with this camera. I have no particular build concerns - overall it seems quite well put together. Some have mentioned the ease with which some of the panels open on the sides - I have not had a problem with that, but cannot speak to their true weather resistance. Battery life is not great, but I am adding the battery grip, which should improve the function substantially, especially for use all day (traveling, working, etc.). I had an X-E2, so I adjusted to the controls on the X-T1 quickly - nothing seemed too different. I do wish the camera had a wider range of bracketing for HDR shots - it is presently limited to 3 stops (-1, 0, +1) and there is no built in HDR, per se. I would like to see a -2, -1,0,+1,+2) range for HDR use at least. Perhaps Fuji will add that with a software update in the future. For me, this camera offers a very pleasing combination of lenses and camera body - I'm happy with the ease of use, IQ, portability, and system overall - Fuji has been releasing some lovely lenses to complement their camera bodies. Is it a perfect camera? - of course not - I always wonder about those who start with that as their standard - but it is a quality machine which does a good job for me.
