Dpreview (Click here) posted the full Fuji X-T1 review. The camera earns the Gold Award with a very high score of 84%:
Overall, then, the X-T1 combines a hugely engaging control setup with a superb viewfinder, excellent image quality, one of the best AF systems in a mirrorless camera, and a pretty compelling selection of lenses to choose from.

I tried this camera on sunday at cep expo. just a toy. viewfinder is crap. still nothing close to dslr.
I’m surprised to hear anyone say that.
I’ve struggled to like mirror-less camera bodies and the FujiFilm X-T1 and Olympus E-M1 are far from toys. The viewfinders are so good to signal the end of the optical viewfinder, as we know that EVFs will improve. Within 10 years, people will be writing that an optical viewfinder is crap.
I like my dSLRs better for sports photography, but mirror-less models are becoming much better. If more were the size of the Panasonic GH3/GH4, more dSLR users would realize how good mirror-less bodies are.
I think the only place I actually miss an OVF is astrophotography. It’s a little hard to aim a mirror at stars with an EVF. But I totally agree, for everything else, the additional features of an EVF make it compelling, to say the least. I’d have a hard time going back.
really? i find the ability to zoom in to focus on the EVF very handy! but then again you can always zoom in on live view to nail focus too
Troll alert. 😉
We have been using the XT1 for well over a month now, and shot a few thousands pictures. It is a truly remarkable camera, not missing a DSLR in any way. Check this shot at 6400 ISO (with Noise Reduction turned off and DR at the max): https://plus.google.com/116737858675206475419/posts/5EFegEhfhF7 The camera is a real joy to use and feels really well built. They viewfinder is very luminous and informative. Lenses are really good, with a very silky feel in operation.
Outstanding camera. I tried it in a shop some days ago, and I was stunned by the evf. I suffer from rainbow effect (very visible for me in samsung nx30 and panasonic gx7) and I never saw it in the x-t1. Besides its evf is much larger compared to the two mentioned cameras, with better colors and dr, even in low light.
The camera is also very fast in operations and has gorgeous iq at any iso.
