Fujifilm X-T1 16 MP Compact System Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD Body Only - Black

Product Information

Otherwise, the XPro-1 is a dinosaur today. It's way behind the X-T1 in overall speed and the quality of the finder. The X-T1's EVF is so good it eliminates any need or advantage of an optical finder.

Fuji have fantastic lenses, and 16mp combined with their excellent auto-balance could well mean better images out of the body than the entry Nikon. The X-T1 provides ten white-balance settings, accessible via the main menu or the Q menu. The only slight issue with accessing them via the Q menu is that there’s no associated wording with the icons to describe each setting as there is in the main menu, which could leave less savvy users guessing. Left to its auto setting, the X-T1 delivers naturally pleasing tones under a variety of light sources, meaning warm-up or cool-down filters will rarely need to be used in post-production. In bright and sunny conditions, the X-T1 produces rich colour with plenty of bite, and while in gloomier weather the colour tones aren’t as vibrant, they remain accurate to the scenes photographed. The X-T1 is a fraction the price, size and weight of a Canon 5D Mark III or Nikon D800, and it's a very serious camera. Get one, I did! It's so much better than any of my digital LEICAs.

The X-T1 has a dedicated movie button allowing video capture from any exposure mode. It's function can't be reassigned, even if you only ever shoot stills. Switching from AF to manual focus instantly applies the viewfinder’s dual mode that cleverly splits the screen in two, offering a view of the full image on the left and a smaller magnified view on the right. What’s more, this dual mode ties in well with the camera’s focus peaking and digital split-image focus options, to ensure that when the camera is used with manual-focus lenses only, optimum sharpness is achieved with every shot. Once programmed, you can recall them by tapping Q, be sure to select the upper left with the four-way buttons, and then turning either dial until your choice (BASE or C1 through C7) is displayed.Fuji mentions an App for Wi-Fi, but the Apple App store showed me three different Fuji apps. I have no idea which we are supposed to use. The app I tried didn't work although it did seem to connect via Wi-Fi. I didn't play any further; when I need images I need them in a commercial way and piddling on an iPhone doesn't do it for me. I put them on my Mac Pro and work from my 30" monitor if I'm selecting and sending images. It’s hard not to fall in love with the chic look of the Fujifilm X-T1. Much has been said about it being the camera the Nikon Df should have been, and when you take the X-T1’s size, portability and build quality into consideration, it’s hard to disagree. The Df’s unique selling point is its low-light performance, but the X-T1 does a better job of capturing the spirit of 35mm SLR photography that the Df was trying to achieve. The X-Trans sensor has once again delivered the goods for the X-T1, and while it would have its work cut out to match the low-light performance of the Nikon Df, the sensor’s ability to record high levels of detail through the sensitivity range make it a more than capable alternative for those who find a DSLR too cumbersome. The viewfinder is good enough to change photographers’ perceptions of the EVF, while the AF performance is swift enough to raise interest from professionals looking at a smaller system. The leaf shutter of the X100S lets its built-in flash synchronize to about 1/2,000, letting it work great in daylight, while the focal plane shutter of the X-T1 is over ten times slower (1/180), so it has much less fill-flash range. You can't get better than Fuji's lenses, and other lenses, even awesome LEICA lenses, won't autofocus or open and close their diaphragms for you as you shoot and focus.
