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
Excellent image quality, Solid, weather-sealed body, Retro design that actually makes sense in a digital camera, Very low viewfinder lag for single-servo shooting, Fast burst shooting with great buffer depths, In-camera Wi-Fi connectivity
Exposure compensation dial is easily bumped, Four-way controller buttons are hard to press, Significant viewfinder lag for burst shooting, No raw files above ISO 6,400, Default settings strongly limit JPEG dynamic range
The Fuji X-T1 is a great example of the retro genre. Don't let its surprisingly compact, vintage-styled body fool you, though: It's wrapped around cutting-edge technology, including a class-leading electronic viewfinder and Fuji's exclusive X-Trans sensor technology...
Abstract: I was fortunate enough to test the X-T1 while on a trip to Guatemala, which was not only timely, but also pertinent when considering the camera's tough body. Fuji crafted the body to be sealed from the elements, essentially allowing users to snap photos w...
Large and clear EVF, Tactile control, Excellent picture quality, Weatherproof body
Price is high, Wi-Fi function isn't great
The Fujifilm X-T1 stands out in a sea of compact system cameras, mainly due to its tactile exposure controls and excellent electronic viewfinder. It's expensive, but nevertheless an interesting proposition if you're after a small, high-performance camera...
The lowlight, highISO performance of the XT1 makes us rethink our timid approach to cranking up the ISO. We used the camera in tricky, dim light on fastmoving subjects with ISO set to 6400, and now reckon that 6400 is the new 800
Handling is a little slow compared with the competition. The Olympus OMD EM1 and the Sony a7 are snappier in the hand
The Fujifilm X-T1, with its compact size and stellar performance, makes conventional DSLRs seem old-fashioned. Who needs all that extra bulk when it doesn't translate into better image quality? The X-T1 has the same size-sensor as consumer DSLRs, so nothi...

The Fujifilm X-T1 with its compact size and stellar performance makes conventional DSLRs seem old fashioned. Who needs all that extra bulk when it doesn’t translate into better image quality? The X-T1 has the same size sensor as consumer DSLRs so nothing is lost in that department...
Abstract: This 16mp APS-C sensor camera has a weather-resistant body. Main controls for aperture, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are analog, a useful retro feature for those wh...
Abstract: THE NEW FUJIFILM X-T1 JOINS THE OLYMPUS OMD E-M1 AND THE SONY a7 at the top of the mirrorless interchangeable lens camera category. For the past ten days I have had them all here together on the test b...
The X-T1 is a small departure from the original rangefinder style of Fujfilm's X-series cameras. It looks and handles like a DSLR, with a large viewfinder positioned on the camera's optical axis. But the mechanical dial controls are retained.Unfortunately...
