The editors didn't like
Autofocus not fastest in class
No weather-sealed lenses (yet)
Single SD
So-so battery life
Viewfinder ghosting in dim light
Some tight button placement
The controls on the X-T1 are a mess. They go too far into analogue nostalgia at the expense of simplicity and speed. The EVF

Narrow handgrip
Pricey if adding lenses
Cramped top-plate controls
Some of the controls are too hard to manipulate
Its general performance doesn't stand out

Abstract: The X-T1 is Fujifilm’s premium enthusiast-oriented weatherproof compact system cameraBack in the days of film, when you bought a camera you knew exactly what features you were getting. Digital cameras, in contrast, are miniature computers that take pictur...
Abstract: But it's the relentlessly traditional controls that I like most about this camera. They are strictly manual rather than menu-driven, and are almost indistinguishable from a 35mm SLR of 50 years ago, which may sound like a bad thing, but it's not. Pioneeri...

Abstract: When we first heard about the Fujifilm X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition we were enthusiastic. After all, the X-T1 was one of our favourite cameras of the year, so when a manufacturer starts talking about a "luxury multilayer coating" what's not to like? Inde...
What can we say? Fujifilm makes some of the finest mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras available with its X-series, even if it's a bit pricey. We gave the X-E2 our Recommended rating, but this even more expensive model deserves an Editor's Choice desi...
No in-body stabilisation, Pricey lenses, No touchscreen
Fujifilm X-T1 verdict Open Gallery The X-T1 is a blindingly good camera, worthy of world-class shutter operators. If there's one complaint, it's the lack of in-camera image stabilisation. If you'll allow us another, there's the price of Fujifilm...
Even though the X-T1 breaks with Fujifilm's “poor-man's Leica” image given the company's past adherence to rangefinder-style designs, this is one hot camera with pure Fuji blood flowing through its digital veins. It has the raw sex appeal and performance ...
Solid button and dial festooned construction, choice of eye level viewfinder and rear panel LCD, smaller than the semi pro DSLR the Fuji's construction recalls
Narrowish handgrip, cramped control layout on top plate, no body integral anti shake mechanism (via specialist lenses only)
Fuji's deliberately SLR-styled X-T1 is the closest the company has come yet to blending yesteryear styling with bang up-to-date technology. It's difficult to see how the manufacturer could do any more at this stage, and within the compact system camera fo...

The Fujifilm X-T1 is an excellent camera. It boasts first-rate picture quality with improved general responsiveness, a slightly reworked set of controls, and a viewfinder that's surprisingly pleasant and comfortable for an EVF. When mirrorless hybrids get...
The X-T1 combines excellent design with a specification that makes it great value even at its circa-£1000 price tag. Above all, it produces breathtaking images and can be relied upon whatever the conditions, making it perhaps the best CSC on the market.Ne...
