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

Product Information

I experimented with the continuous autofocus performance of the X-T1 when photographing my kids and here are the results:

At the time of testing, the X-T1’s raw files were not supported by Adobe Camera Raw, so we processed them using Silkypix Raw File Converter EX software. In high-contrast images, it is possible to retrieve highlight detail from bright areas, while it is also promising that a good level of detail can be retrieved from shadow areas. This does come at the expense of extra noise, but no more than could be expected, and it can be taken care of using noise-reduction techniques. With the addition of possibly the most impressive electronic viewfinder I’ve ever seen on a digital camera, fast AF, weather sealing and intuitively placed manual controls, it’s hard to be anything other than positive about the new Fujifilm X-T1. The X-T1 just shoots, and the results are always super-sharp and well exposed — better than I get from DSLRs, whose exposure and focus aren't always dead-on as they are with the X-T1. The Fujifilm X-T1 provides a modest ISO range of 200-6400, and while this might seem more limiting than some of the X-T1’s rivals, it can be expanded to the equivalent of ISO 12,800, 25,600 and 51,200 at the high end, and ISO 100 at the low end. You’ll want to bear in mind, however, that these expanded settings only allow images to be recorded as JPEGs, not as raw files.

The X-T1 determines exposure using the same 256-zone metering system as the X-Pro1, X-E1 and X-E2. It ties in with the camera’s three metering modes – multi, spot and average – which are conveniently positioned on a separate dial below the shutter-speed dial, and adjusted using the index finger. By and large, the metering system delivers pleasingly accurate exposures and, even when the camera is asked to shoot directly towards the light, it isn’t fooled into underexposing or overexposing images. Try it with your lens, you may or may not get different results with different lenses. Only some lenses will focus more closely in this mode. The Fujifilm X-T1 is a weather-resistant mirrorless interchangeable lens camera announced by Fujifilm on January 28, 2014. It uses the Fujifilm X-mount and is the first entry in the X-T lineage of DSLR-styled X series cameras.Since the X-T1 is all about the best image quality Fuji can deliver in a compact mirrorless camera, you will be happy to know that the camera can capture RAW images in 14-bit (which basically translates to wider color gamut), just like the X-E2. Thanks to the faster processor, the X-T1 and the X-E2 are able to process and record much larger RAW files. Fuji engineers knew that larger files would result in slower write speeds and potentially more frustrating experience, so they increased the write speed throughput. As long as you have one of those fast SD cards, you should not have to wait much for the camera to empty its buffer when shooting in continuous mode.

Fifth sequence of my daughter slowly walking towards me: 3 out of 30 images out of focus (10% miss rate) The X-T1 has a solid feel to it, with its magnesium-alloy body accented by a rubberized texture on the front of the camera. All three dials on the top of the camera are made of machined aluminum, though their placement makes them hard to adjust with your eye against the viewfinder. The plastic door over the SD card slot feels a little flimsy compared to the rest of the camera, like it could snap off with relative ease when open (of course most of the time it will be closed).This is a camera I should be able to use confidently in harsh environments, going further than simply being water and dust resistant, the camera will also operate in freezing temperatures as low as -10?C. If used with the compatible VG-XT1 battery grip and X-mount lenses – of which, three have so far been announced – the XF18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R OIS, XF16-55mm f/2.8 R OIS WR, XF50-140mm f/2.8 R OIS WR, the X-T1 will be fully weather sealed.

August 15, 2014 AF is extremely accurate, since it works directly from the sensor and compensates for any mechanical or optical errors. See how easy it is to get pinpoint focus:

The included tiny hot shoe EF-X8 flash is fantastic. I get better-balanced indoor ambient flash exposures automatically, on the first shot, than with any DSLR or LEICA.

Exceptionally sharp and undistorted images, due to no anti-alias filter on the sensor and super-sharp lenses optimized for the Fuji sensors and the camera's DSP. The X-T1 has real exposure mode switches. Nikon and Canon don't any more. Better yet, the Fuji, just like Contax, changes its exposure mode automatically as you turn the shutter and/or aperture rings to A when you want them to set themselves. Set both to A for Professional (formerly Program) exposure mode. Done. You can program either of the ISO dial's H1 and H2 positions to any of ISO 12,800, ISO 25,600 or ISO 51,200. Design: Both cameras have the classic, retro-style design that is inspired by film cameras from the past. However, the X-T1 is built with a solid, magnesium-alloy body that is both weather-resistant and dust-resistant. Fujifilm X-T5
