Of no interest to me, but an interesting venture for Fuji.

as it was noted elsewhere it is just repeat of what Fuji was doing before with some of their dSLRs for forensic customers, etc... extra niche market to pocket some money.

"…the FUJIFILM X-T1 IR adds advanced infrared technology [removes infrared blocking technology] to see [allow seeing] light from the ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared (IR) portions of the light spectrum…"

I used to own one of their IR compact cams. Must investigate this one.

Dave,

Very funny, but accurate.  The X-T1 "as is" does pretty well with IR images with just a filter.
