Damien D’Angelo (youtube channel) unboxed his X-T1 and 56mm and made a quick focus speed test at f/1.2 (starts at minute 3:50).
Damien says that at f/1.2:
“you see a clear distinction, your subject is basically popping out and it’s almost like a 3D effect. […] very impressive, very satisfied with that […] very fast focus, which is really appreciated. Focus is now performing very well.”
He also told me via twitter: “I have shared some ‘out of the camera’ samples on Twitter yesterday night, such as this one.”
More videos will follow soon… stay tuned.
P.S.: One more good news. US-stores just started shipping the X-T1.

and if you wanna see another take on unboxing, and how does the leather case look like, have a look at the video i did about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBd2BxLOEyE
Wow, apart from the grip and VF, the X100 size is really similar. In the end it would be lens choice that makes the difference though. 🙂
Very stale low light test. Need to be inside a bar with people at night.
Seems to be dark enough in this one:

as I would never take photos in a dark bar at night that test would be useless to me. But feel free to do the test yourself and post your video here!
