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

Product Information

The X-T1 doesn't replace a DSLR for sports and action. Likewise, for my most serious nature and landscape work, I prefer the color palettes of my Nikon and Canon DSLRs. For everything else, the X-T1 is a blast, especially for people pictures. Otherwise, the XPro-1 is a dinosaur today. It's way behind the X-T1 in overall speed and the quality of the finder. The X-T1's EVF is so good it eliminates any need or advantage of an optical finder. The four-way directional buttons at the rear double as customisable function buttons. Two further custom function buttons are found at the front and on the top-plate. THese save and recall only the image settings like color and shadows. THey don't save anytning about how the camera shoots or even the image size. All they do is save what's similar to what kind of film you're shooting. Fuji is actually advancing the state-of-the-art in photography, while other brands are just sitting around selling the same old thing. This Fuji actually has dials and a control system that work together, not like the could-have-been-great dials on the Nikon Df.

The default dial positions are incorrectly colored red. They should be fluorescent green for "go" for setting Auto ISO, Auto aperture and Auto shutter speed.Fifth sequence of my daughter slowly walking towards me: 3 out of 30 images out of focus (10% miss rate) The Fujifilm Finepix X-T1 offers 13 different filter effects which can be previewed on the LCD screen. You can set the Film Simulation mode and white balance before you start recording, which gives useful control over the color rendition. However the camera won't use the 'Advanced Filter' modes for movies, so if you start recording with the drive mode set to 'ADV', it'll revert to the 'Standard' color mode. The camera ignores the Highlight and Shadow Tone settings too.

The images were a little soft straight out of the Fujifilm X-T1 at the default sharpening setting and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can change the in-camera setting. The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds being long enough for most after-dark shots, and the Bulb mode allowing much longer exposures if required. Save Data Setup" are where the menu options for how data is stored are hidden, for instance, setting file numbering. The X-T5, on the other hand, has a more modern design under the hood and is made with a lighter and more compact polycarbonate body. It is also weather sealed.

For day-to-day shooting, users will rarely find themselves having to revert to using the exposure compensation to achieve the best images, unless a particularly bright or dark scene presents itself. In scenes where we shot directly towards the light and the loss of highlight detail was a concern, our first precaution was to make use of the X-T1’s dynamic range settings before dialling in between -0.7 and -1.3EV.
