This is a new picture of the Fuji X-T1 “fully loaded” with battery grip and Flash attached. And you can also see the new 18-135mm XF lens that will be released in April! It’s weather sealed and costs $1,800.
As a reminder: Follow Mirrorless rumors on January 28 at 4am in the morning London time. We will cover the Fuji announcement live and share all links to reviews, early preorder options and tests!

If the AF in this version is way better than the X-E2, I may regret my decision to jump ship from my X-E1 and switch to the E-M1.
Still two fundamental flaws:
1) top shutter speed of 1/4000th sec
One of the primary attractions of this camera is the collection of fast primes that are available for subject isolation. OK, take one of those f/1.4 lenses out into bright sunlight and set it to f/1.4. Oops, heavy over exposure.
2) Still no quality long lenses, lenses like the Olympus 50-200 (100-400 equivalent) which also focus closely.
1. one extra stop from 1/4000 to 1/8000 will not make or break at f/1.4 in bright sunlight. For that you need to use ND filters.
2. there is a fantastic 55-200 lens. It helps to do some research first.
Still the world’s best JPEG sensor and the world’s worst RAW sensor. I can’t imagine anyone spending this kind of money to shoot JPEG but most probably will. The Nikon D7100/D5200/D5300 (all less expensive bodies) just blow the Fuji away when it comes to resolution. But since 99% of the images taken with this camera will probably be posted to the web at 1MP, who cares.
some people will just keep complaining no matter what….
Don’t you have to have RAW data first before you get JPEG? Even if it is in camera? That tells me that Fuji is better then others in converting their RAW data into JPEG. There is no RAW or JPEG sensor, although I guess you used it as metaphor.
On the other note, all RAW converters, even improved lately are still falling behind Fuji in camera converter. I am not sure why that is. As far as I know Fuji made all information about their RAW conversion available, at least to Adobe.
The Nikon D7100/D5200/D5700 also have the worlds worst native lens selection… I don’t see why anyone would spend so much money on a system that has no decent native primes. There are no fast 24 and 35 mm eq. primes for Nikon DX, the 35/1.8 is the worlds worst standard prime, only the 50mm/1.4 is semi-decent.
Since the Fujis were said to be the “worst RAW cameras”: Amongst the “professional RAW converters” Lightroom is by far the worst, when it comes to X-Trans RAWs. Since Capture One Pro and especially Iridient RAW Developer or Photo Ninja are better by a great margin, I guess it oughta be Adobe’s mistake…
