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
As far an investment goes, I would not hesitate to recommend the Fuji X-T1. You’ll get a very good camera with great performance, and it produces excellent images. I believe that 2015 will be another fun year for us as photographers. I would not be surprised to see Fuji offer a 24 MP version X-T2...
The new Fujifilm X-T1 Graphite Silver seems like a relatively minor update of the original all-black version released at the start of 2014, but the new electronic shutter, natural live view mode, and the Classic Chrome film simulation are all very welcom...
Mediocre video quality and adjustments, retro controls can be confusing for some users
Fuji’s latest X-model, the $1300 X-T1 is fast, sealed against the elements and primed for action wherever you go. Not everyone is keen on retro digital cameras, but those who are — be they enthusiasts or pros — can tap some analogue nostalgia ...

Great image quality with natural colors and skin tones. Weatherproof body with quick access to practically every setting. Excellent eyelevel viewfinder and manualfocus helpers. Fast autofocus and peppy continuousshooting mode. Incamera RAWconversion tools
Battery life is only OK. No builtin flash (but it does come with a little detachable one). Steep learning curve for novices. Expensive for its sensor size
Abstract: The weather resistant Fujifilm X-T1 Mirrorless CameraI was thrilled when Fujifilm Canada sent me their brand new X-T1 to play with just over a month ago. Along with the camera body itself they sent me three lenses including the XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM O...

Compact, lightweight pro DSLR camera, fun retrostyle controls, weather resistant design, extremely highquality images, excellent skin tones right out of the camera, additional system lenses available and more coming soon
Questionable mechanics of buttons/controls, tough to access some controls with gloves, just adequate video capabilities, no GPS, Price: $1,299.95 (body only). $1,699.95 as a kit with an 1855mm FUJINON lens
All of the above would not be worth talking about if the X-T1 didn't deliver good quality images. And because its imaging system is already based on the highly regarded lineage of X-cameras I got what I was expecting to see, great images.Fujifilm said whe...
