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
While big
Is very noisy in low light
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
And the movie quality disappoints
Narrowish handgrip
Cramped control layout on top plate
No body integral anti shake mechanism (via specialist lenses only)
Advanced Filter JPEG only
Screen not vari
Angle
LCD doesn't have touchscreen controls
Disappointing video mode
No headphones out for video
No builtin flash (separate flash accessory supplied)
Electronic level on one axis only
Autofocus isn't as speedy as the best micro 4/3 models

You can make a solid case the X-T1, especially at its at £1049 price. Despite the control quirks, there is currently no better high-end APS-C mirrorless camera out there. If you are willing to sacrifice sensor size, I would absolutely recommend the simila...

Well, Fuji has done it again: produced a camera that is not only beautiful, but is capable of producing some superb images. We can see this being top of many a photographer's lust list, and for good reason – it's top of ours too....
You've probably figured out that we really like this camera. Almost everything about it is top tier: cosmetic design, ergonomics, viewfinder, controls, image quality, performance. We particularly like having physical dials for exposure compensation, shutt...

Giant viewfinder is ace, excellent image quality just like X-E2, retro mode dials are great in use, solid build with weather-sealing, tilt-angle LCD screen
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
Let's get the slight downsides out of the way first: the X-T1 could do with a better battery, autofocus needs to be refined for precision, and continuous autofocus won't keep a similar price DSLR at bay in our opinion. Oh and there are no weather-se...

Abstract: When Fujifilm released the original X-T1 in 2014, we were very impressed with its classic combination of dials and buttons, outstanding feature set, great image quality, and one of the best electronic viewfinders available on the market. The price was a l...
The X-T1 is for obsessive photographers. Photographers who don’t blink. As such, it is the ideal tool for making images of elusive street cats. From the ergonomics to the external controls to the refreshingly simple menus, this thing lets you get on with your work...
