This camera looks very nice. It isn’t my style but for shure its owners will be happy 🙂
Yeah, the Fujis are actually a little too retro for me. I like retro styling, but I prefer modern digital controls. However, I think they have done a phenomenal job in their design and building out the system. I wish m43 was this committed in the beginning, but better late than never, they are finally there.
Looks great sadly i see the price tag being extremely VERY high.
Fuji really has some nice designers. I still prefer rangefinder bodies, but this the best looking dslr styled mirrorless around, imo.
I still have a mixed feeling about the sensor, though. I’d probably prefer a 24mp bayer sensor here.
I wonder, with a new generation of photogs that never shot film,
just how big the market is for this new camera.
I have become a ‘touch’ photog with another brand.
How do the ‘all digital ‘photographers view this camera?
What is Fuji’s target market with the X-T1?
Are they only interested in the ‘upper middle class’ consumer in a similiar fashion as Lieca serves the silver spoon crowd?
Does anybody else find it odd that the tripod socket is so far off from the center axis of the lens?
This is going to be a VERY nice camera, I believe.
I feel this may be the new Fuji flagship camera.. at least until a respectable upgrade to the X-Pro 1 rightfully can take that title away. It has all the best specs and features I think Fuji has to offer right now. I love the other more rangefinder-styled X cameras, they have great IQ and styling, but I still feel the AF/MF and overall package isn’t the best it could be.. some refinements here and there.. and to be honest, the OVF/EVF is a bit of a novelty rather than truly functional.. you’ll get the best most accurate results sticking with the EVF mode (as far as hybrid VF’s go), so then what’s the point of the OVF other than for a fun or cool factor, not quite as useful in actual practice. But, I digress… back to the X-T1…
If the X-T1 has at least as much of the best tech from the most recent X cameras in regards to hardware and firmware, you can bet the IQ and overall performance will be at the very best.
I like the Nikon Df, and this reminds me a bit of that retro style philosophy (as does the E-M1 & A7/A7R), but at least it’s done in a proper compact form that really makes it look tight and sexy. Advantage mirrorless! The X-trans cmos ape-c sensors can perform nearly as good, if not better in some cases, than full frame… I think the X-Pro 1 (and other X cameras close to that model) stand out for having perhaps the best low light high iso performance for a ape-c sensor… I think can be nearly as good as the Df performance for most people.. I think you’ll get a great sensor and cool retro style with buttons and functionality that make more a bit more sense and has less confusion and redundancy. It should work well and even more intuitively.. not to mention it looks like it may have a fold out rear lcd?!.. you have to admit that’s useful for those shots you just can’t get when you want the high or very low angles.
THE MAIN THING THAT WILL REALLY SET THIS NEW CAMERA ON TOP (OR NOT) IS IF FUJI finally fixes or improves the AF system. Image quality and color is one of the best I’ve ever seen and used in a camera coming from owning 2 previous X cameras, but the AF (&MF) sucked! so unreliable compared to a lot of competitors. If Fuji finally gets the AF/MF to be accurate AND consistent to a non-frustrating or non-workflow retarding pace, then it will truly be a force to be reckoned with!
With that said and hopes up, I think anyone who wants retro with awesome performance and great set of lenses should seriously consider the X-T1 over a Df.. it’ll cost considerably less and offer considerably more.
