FUJIFILM X-T1 Promotional Video
- Thread starter Leongsam
- Start date
i dont understand this tx1 is suppose to b a premium camera. should it not be a fullframe sensor so it can go toe to toe with the A7?
hi nikon fanboy, someone insult the DF when compare to X-T1
"The Fujifilm X-T1 produces images of outstanding quality [...] The new Fujifilm X-T1 is the best X-series camera to date, and one of the best interchangeable lens cameras, mirrorless or otherwise, that we’ve ever had the pleasure of reviewing. [...] The fantastic electronic viewfinder is more than good enough to impress those who swear by an optical viewfinder, while the weather-proof body, tilting LCD screen, USH-II card compatability, fast autofocusing and speedy all-round performance, and the much improved wi-fi connectivity options are the icing on a superbly balanced cake.”]
We’ve read a lot yesterday (read here) about one of the most amazing features of the X-T1: its EVF! Praised even by EVF haters for his crips and lag free image, loved by enthusiasts for its “3D pop” and colors as if “I was looking at my fullscreen Apple Macbook Retina display.”
Even the focus is said to be unusually fast and snappy… and the new “predictive AF” seems really to work fine, just check out Rico’s first look here.
There was also someone saying that the X-T1′s design and function “simply puts the Nikon DF to shame.” One more confirmation comes from guswaschefort here. He tested it with the 56mm in very low light at a concert:
“The traditional manual-style controls of Fujifilm X-Series cameras have gained much popularity. The X-T 1 takes this aspect even further, with a manual knob control for ISO, and manual controls to select frame rate and metering coverage [...] The X-T 1 is undoubtedly the most intuitive digital camera I have ever handled.”
And what about shooting videos with the X-T1? Well, if you look at this youtube video here, videos seem to suffer of moiree. So while the X-Trans pixel array does a great job to prevent (not to eliminate) moiree in stills, the same advantage doesn’t seem to apply to videos!

hi singveld..but its not a full frame..shouldnt it b full frame to get even betterest images?
One of the most exciting features of the X-T1 is the big, sharp, lag free EVF. It seems that the anonymous source who told us back on January 10th that “even EVF haters will have to admit that the EVF on the “new Fuji T camera” is “pretty damn nice” was right… just check out the feedback down below.
First impression
- Here are the first impressions Zhelko Dimic (from ting.com) sent me via email:
“I used to have Canon 5D Mk III, and It does remind me of a mini 5D MKIII. Serious, solid, professional tool. But, there is something about viewfinder I’ve never heard mentioned. When using f1.4 or f1.2 lenses, because viewfinder was so nicely large and crisp, I was able to clearly see focal plane, and famous 3D ‘pop’ of in focus person that comes from shallow DOF. It was as if I was looking at my fullscreen Apple Macbook Retina display. There was no need to visualize how picture will look like when enlarged, it was there in its all glory. This was first time in my life I got this impression, no matter what kind of viewfinder I’ve used.
Since I’ve used about 50 cameras in my life so far, including full frames, I guess other electronic viewfinders have been too small for this effect (including Sony NEX 6), and optical ones are built to present DOF that f2.8 lens has, so they don’t represent f1.2 pop. It was delightful.”

“To make things clear, I hate electronic viewfinders! [...] But I was caught completely off guard with the X-T1. I just kept repeating ”shit shit shit this is so damn good” inside of me! No lag. No stutter. A sharp image. Completely smooth and nice. Plus good colors. And it actually took me some time to realize it was an electronic image I was looking at in the viewfinder [...] And talking about focusing. The autofocus was unusually fast and snappy. Not once in that awful fluorescent light did the autofocus miss. Spot on every time. Fast and precise.”
- FR-reader Oobist spotted this article (jccrafford)”Is this the world’s first Fujifilm X-T1 wedding photographs?” and shared it via facebook:
“I can say one thing though, something I do like a LOT about the X-T1 is how light it is, for me as a wedding photographer that spend 10-12 hours at a wedding this is a very important consideration…no more back pains for me after a wedding!”
- f/otographer send me his first impressions via email:
“I got lucky and was able to check out the Fuji X-T1 at a local camera shop, Pardees Cameras, in Sacramento. The Fuji Rep had stopped by and I was able to take a few test shots. me and the X-T1 / iso 1600 / iso 6400 / my stream /
My photos dont do the camera justice since I was unable to set it up to my shooting style and only had a brief time to play with it. But the iso 6400 shot is cleaner then anything I could ever expect from my NEX. Both photos are straight out of camera jpeg with no processing, but Im not sure of all the in camera setting such as noise reduction or sharpening. The focus peaking is very different then the Sony peaking on my NEX 7 which I am used to. The dual image focus screen option, showing both your composition and a smaller box for the split image off to the side, is amazing and must be experienced to be believed.
The build quality is wonderful and the camera feels very good in the hand, but smaller then I thought it would be. Its really not much bigger then my NEX.
Overall I think this camera is going to be a winner for Fuji. Its a nice upgrade for existing X camera owners and it should bring many new shooters to the Fuji camp. As a NEX owner that shoots mainly old manual glass this camera is on my immediate purchase radar.
I think the biggest difference here to me, as a current Sony shooter, is that Sony views cameras as just as another consumer electronic item. For instance, Sony sees no difference in a Sony Blu Ray player, a Sony alarm clock and my NEX 7.
Fuji on the other hand understand that while a camera is indeed a consumer electronic item it is also more then that. It is a tool that is used by an artist to create art. And an artist can be inspired by and have pride in his tool. The design of the X-T1 clearly shows that the whole “By photographers, for photographers” thing at Fuji is not just hype. There are some serious photographers at Fuji who are having major input on the design and function of these cameras. As a photographer and a consumer who buys electronic items this camera is just plain done right.
It simply puts the Nikon DF to shame.”

i need to get my hands on it. i must look at EVF, i must play around with the dials and wheels before i made a decision.
I already have X-E1 and many prime lens. one of them 60mm f2.4 is a killer. I just cannot stop looking at the photo taken by it. The telezoom lens is nice too.
Recently i went to Macau, the show call the house of dancing water allow photography, so i took some picture of the show.
It is a china mega size mix of Le Reve, O, motorcycle stunt show , mystere and Ka. Everything is bigger than Vegas. But live band not prominent and just rojak. The story is not as well written as in vegas.

even if it is not full frame, the good lens and sensor of fujifilm x series nearly match canon 5Dii full frame camera.
full frame is still best, but carrying the heavy L lens really too much for me.
so i have to compromise, lighter weight, slightly worse photo.
no choice.
like sammyboy medium format camera, it kill almost all camera in IQ. But you will not see him carrying it around in the field. He use his nikon d4, which is an compromise in term of IQ.
ok thanks for the input,,i might get tat with a wide angle fast lens...like this will b good..

I'm thinking of getting the X-T1 for street photography and would like a great wide angle lens go go with it. However, the chart shows only one ultra wide zoom lens which is the F4 10mm~24mm.
Any suggestions?
i have not touch or see a 10-24 f4yet, it is delayed recently.So i have to get back on you later.
It is ultra wide, my question is that why you need so wide for street photography?
fujifilm 14f2.8 is smaller, better and cheaper. i suggest that instead. Only if you outstanding IQ. If you just want normal IQ, 18mmF2 is fantastic for street photography, very small , very light, and fast too. Not to mention cheap as chips.
I like the depth of field and the ability to capture lots within an image while maintaining a focal point for the main subject.
oh i see. then 10-24 is perfect for you. But you have to wait, since you have to wait for x-T1 as well. so i guess it will be perfect.
if you the chance, try the 60F2.4. will surprise you.
