Dear Kevin
thanks for this article which proves that I've done right to invest in this system, too! And you're really right. Shooting with that camera is pure fun without any grain of salt. Even the 50-140 mm is a honey! The OIS is the best I've ever experienced. You can really shot 1/6 seconds on 140 mm without an tripod! I'm just on holidays in Noordhoek (ZA) and I've shot this picture of a guy from Kansas:
(http://harlempix.com/wp-content/gallery/2014-kapstadt/DST16275-3.jpg)
I've joked a little bit with him on using a tripod and in the end he was a little bit jealous of this system;-)
So thank you for your articles and happy holidays from Germany / South Africa.

Very nice article and review Kevin. I enjoyed the read and concur with almost everything you have said from my limited use of the system with various client's cameras. The layout of controls is better than any other camera on the market and more intuitive (at least for old school film shooters that grew up in photography decades ago). About the only thing that is keeping me from investing in that system is the pixel count and I realize that may be my own personal bias and issue ::)
-
Nice review indeed, Kevin ... makes me wonder if my decision to buy into the µ4/3 system earlier this year was the right one ;D ... no, not really. My OM-D E-M1 is very nice too. I chose it over the X-T1 due to smaller lenses in the telephoto range, the super-fast auto-focus, and the versatile in-body image stabiliser. Still, ever since that purchase I keep looking at the Fujifilm X system with the other eye ...
Kevin, you mentioned you're using Capture One and Lightroom for processing the X-Trans files. May I suggest to give Photo Ninja a spin? In my opinion, this one can extract more detail from the X-Trans files than any other raw converter.
-
Thanks for the review Kevin and Merry Christmas from New Zealand.
I am tossing up between the A7II and the XT1. The Fuji has a great layout which I really like. It seems it was designed by a photographer. It also has a very good selection of lenses. I struggle with the Sony and all it customisable buttons and dont find the system that intuitive. However I really like the Sony full frame sensor.
Perhaps I need to get both and see which camera stays in my camera bag.
If the gossip is correct, next year will be interesting with the xpro2 and A9.

Very enjoyable article. It puts home the point that we currently have so many excellent choices in camera systems. Fuji's lenses in particular are most impressive. I'm kinda glad camera makers have never agreed on a universal mount…I'm already swimming in adapters, but if they weren't needed my house would be stuffed floor to ceiling with lenses & I'd be broke. ;)

Fuji X is OK.
It produces fine under ideal conditions.

Under harsh conditions is where the Fuji drops off.

it needs to be boosted to 24 to 28 mp and organic.
Fuji also need to make a FF Leica knockoff for $2500 to $3000.
-
About the only thing that is keeping me from investing in that system is the pixel count and I realize that may be my own personal bias and issue ::)
Yes, it doesn't seem right that 24" wide prints I make from this camera are at least as good (and in many respects better) than those from my Canon 5DII. The lenses are remarkable but that doesn't completely account for it.
-
iluvmycam, I'd tend to disagree as I shot this camera under harsh condition, very dark conditions and it never let me down. And, as I showed in my article the recovery of dark shadow areas is completely possible. What I see in the few links you showed could be a result of poor RAW processing and I did say one should look at doing comparisons of RAW processors. Not everyone has mastered getting a good conversion off the X-tran chip. I have a lot of faith in this camera now that I know what it can do.

Kevin,
Thanks for the great article. I have recently gotten the X T1 and look forward to using it. It feels terrific in the hand.
Have a Great Holiday.
Jed

Excellent article! I very much enjoyed reading this.
As far as raw conversion goes, I used to swear by Iridient Developer.
I have found that C1 with version 8 is also excellent now for Fuji X.
As C1 is also the preferred raw developer for Sony I tend to use it a lot more now since version 8 usually trying out both C1 and Iridient.
I am bit torn by having both Fuji X (X-Pro1 and X-T1) and Sony (A7s) and asking myself whether I should keep both.
What makes Fuji stand out for me is the excellent glass (better than Sony IMO up till now) and better more intuitive handling.
Not mentioned in the article but obviously if video is a consideration then Fuji falls a bit short... I am pretty sure that must be on their radar for the future...

Kevin,
Thanks for writing what I think is the best LuLa article to date this year. Like you, I started with the wonderful X-Pro1, which is still in my bag and which I use frequently, especially with the Fuji 14mm and 23 mm primes.
The X-T1 is the more versatile of the two cameras, as it's EVF provides greater and more useful functionality with the advent of the really fine Fuji zooms. Like you, I shoot with the 18-55 a majority of the time, and occasionally with the 55-200. I will be getting the 50-140 once the motorsports racing starts up again in 2015, as I do professional motorsports photojournalism for a racetrack in Northern California. Additionally, I really like the enhancements the recent firmware update brought to the camera; Fuji brought significant new enhancements with that release.
Your thoughts, experiences, and conclusions about the Fuji X-T1s design, operation, user interface parallel my own exactly. As someone who learned photography with an Olympus OM-1 and manual focus lenses, I love the rotary dial and aperture ring control sytem. IMO, the X-T1 is fully capable professional workhorse with an ever expanding set of beautiful lenses to provide a very high level of performance in a wide range of use scenarios and applications. I look forward to them working with Metz to bring a proper TTL flash system online, and the implementation of the Fuji X Professional Services (FPS) in 2015.
I also own and use the very fine Olympus OM-D E-M1. I principally use it with the excellent Panasonic f/2.8 zooms, the 12-35 and 35-100. But like you, when I reach for a bag these days, it's the Fuji 90% of the time.
Today I will be putting up some landscape images I've taken with the X-T1 this year in another posting, but here's one from my trip to the Grand Tetons in October.

Thanks for the article.

Nice article, but just one thing. You write:
- If you are a casual shooter and want a real good compact camera and print no larger than 13x19 inches then you should look at the Olympus. The new Pro lens series, in body camera stabilization and phase and contrast detection auto focus, make this a super great camera in a prefect size package.
And yet a few weeks ago you were saying how impressed you were with 17x22 prints from the E-M1 and 40-150 lens. And this "casual shooter" thing sounds rather dismissive, don't you think? I'm trying to decide between both systems, and your user reports are very welcome, but a degree of consistency would help. You (and Michael) do seem to oscillate wildly between systems. Didn't Michael dump his X-Pro1 ... And now he wants an X-T1? Well, it's entertaining, anyway :-)
-
My guess is Kevin was thinking of folks with 13" wide printers in one case and 17" wide printers in the other. In my experience print quality at 13x19" or 17x22" won't be the deciding factor when choosing between Fuji X or m43. Both systems are plenty capable in that regard. Handling, durability, user interface & options and lens selection are IMO more significant considerations.

Great article! I was initially frustrated by the lack of histogram in the live image review on my X-E2 but it's made me shoot differently and for the better. I have the live histogram up in the EVF now so I'm back in the habit of getting the exposure right before I take the shot. This saves so much time re-shooting and results in less files to cull prior to processing.
-
The X-Trans sensor Fuji is in most cases highly rated and classified as significantly better IQ than the Bayer sensor camera systems.
Based on my personal experience, I can not confirm that. Comparisons with the Pentax K-5 IIs showed that the IQ of the K5-IIs was always better than the Fuji X-T1 (developed with C1 V7).
My friend - who is is a pro - owns the Fuji X-T1. In his opinion there is no way to replace the Canon 5D III against a Fuji XT-1 (Noise; DR ...).
The comparisons revealed also that there seems to be a an impact from the raw processing software on the IQ. Strangely Iridient which is not the market leader delivers a much better IQ.
I would like to summarize my experience with the Fuji X-T1 :
- The IQ is not better than other APS-C systems w/o AA-filter.
- The IQ of X-T1 depends on raw software (most developers are optimized for Bayer sensors).
- FF cameras are still in another league.

I was confused by the reference to the "review histogram" in the piece. I had intended to ask if I'd understood correctly as it seemed to me to imply that there was no live histogram: which would have been hard to believe (although I'm convinced that it's SOP to cripple or omit some functions on all cameras in order to give the hapless punters a reason to buy the next release: which seems to work every time.) But surely the absence of a review histogram, whilst bonkers, is utterly secondary to having the histogram available before pressing the shutter button!
As for poorly implemented HDR, that's surely required from the initial design brief.

These differences debated often to exhaustion are terribly relative. In my experience with people a bit of passion coming from the choice that excites you is often more significant than the last theoretical detail (of theoretic IQ) (dis)advantage.
In these decisions I would pay attention to the lenses in the first place as the sensors come and go at a much more frequent rate.
I just saw a review of Fuji’s 50-140/2.8 (and many letters) on Lenstip as someone pointed me out to it and apart from the typical lamenting about the initial pricing these are the apc-c lenses that I think make all the difference in studying tiny differences among these systems.
Some of it applies to sensor sizes, too, though here I think the argument purely on the IQ is weakened.

Nearly forgot,
Thank you for the shot Harald. Happy Holidays!

I am a keen amateur and shoot with both the Olympus OM-D1 and the Sony A7 system. I have been eyeing the Fuji XT-1 but would like to have a built in stabilizer, which the Olympus and the Sony A7 mk2 have. Also, there is one feature of the Sony system that I really like: it fully exploits the three degrees of freedom (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) that determine exposure. In other words, you can shoot in manual mode with your choice of shutter speed and aperture and still use the exposure compensation dial to increase or decrease exposure. This feature is not available on the XT-1 to my knowledge. It is not available on the Olympus either, but there is a work-around, which, unfortunately is not an option on the XT-1 either.
Please tell me if I am wrong and it is possible to adjust exposure compensation on the XT-1 in manual mode. One could always increase or decrease the ISO, but this is difficult to do on the fly with the camera to your eye, because of the top button on the ISO dial that must be kept pressed in while turning the dial. If the top button could be kept locked in, then of course the ISO could be changed on the fly with the camera to your eye.
Suresh Moolgavkar
-
>> there is a work-around
Could you say what the work-around for the OM-D EM-1 is?
Thanks,
Andy
-
Yes. I set the right toggle switch on the Olympus to position 2, which allows control of ISO (front wheel) and white balance (rear wheel). With the camera to my eye or in live mode, I use the front wheel to adjust ISO until I get the exposure I want. This is useful, for example, in backlit situations, in which I can dial in the amount of exposure compensation I like using ISO with shutter speed and aperture fixed. Obviously, the same work-around could be used on the XT-1 if the ISO dial could be easily moved with the left thumb. This is not possible because the button has to be simultaneously pushed in.
If you have a work-around for the XT-1 I would like to know what it is. The exposure compensation dial does not appear to work when aperture and shutter speed are set (unlike Sony).
Best,
Suresh
-
Thanks Suresh - an interesting option! I'd still like to be able to set all 3 options and then use Exposure Compensation too.
Andy
-
Andy,
I don't think that would be possible. At least one of the three has to change as you do exposure compensation.
Suresh
-
In other words, you can shoot in manual mode with your choice of shutter speed and aperture and still use the exposure compensation dial to increase or decrease exposure. This feature is not available on the XT-1 to my knowledge.
You can adjust EC by +/- 2/3 of a stop in manual mode (in 1/3 increments) . At least on the X-E1 & 2 you can - should be the same on the X-T1.
-
Anyone cares to comment the recommendation of Photo Ninja for Fujifilm X-Trans raw files?
-
It is good as a processor but not necessarily as a workflow tool.
I have tried Lightroom, Irident Developer and Photo Ninja with C1 coming next.
They all show differences, but the two areas with the ACR processing in LR and ACR are sharpness (you need to whack the detail slider to 100 as shown here http://petebridgwood.com/wp/2014/10/x-trans-sharpening/) and that certainly improves things.
The other area is OOF foliage which can look plasticy)
Irident Developer gets good results. I'd need more time with Photo Ninja but my trial runs out tomorrow.
-
Thanks for an entertaining X-T1 article,
I would however consider Kevin to tone down the sales pitch just a little. As is now I found the enthusiasm a bit overwhelming, and get suspicious when the reviewer cannot fault a product in any way and see no room for improvement.
Imo Kevin is very good at conveying the photo pleasure. So please keep up the good work and dont let the naysayers (as myself ;)) get to you!
-
Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, I do have enthusiasm. It's a feature and benefit. If I don't like a camera or find fault I do report it. Read the Sigma DP2 article from a few months ago. And, with the X-T1 I found fault and I mentioned it in the article with not having a histogram after the exposure and lousy HDR capabilities. I have been fortunate lately to work with two very nice cameras the Olympus EM-1 and the X-T1. Both are solid performers. When a camera has its faults you'll hear about. When a camera makes it fun to take pictures and in the end delivers the image you'll hear about it as you did in the Fuji X-T1 article.
I'm shooting the Sony A 7 II now and I do find some faults with it. But some real nice things too. I'll do a report on it after working with it and the Fuji in Antarctica.

Thanks for the ongoing reviews of mirrorless systems. I too have been looking closely at these as an addition/replacement to my Nikon system but have thus far not jumped in for one. It will be interesting to see how the new Samsung camera and system turn out when they get wider use. I like the camera weight to performance aspect with these but it's going to be a significant investment for a new camera body and lens system. Too bad there are no "rental" programs out there where one could try out one of these for a couple of weeks to see how they perform in real life.

There is one. It is called Amazon ;)
-
Lensrentals.com will rent you a Fuji system. In the USA, anyway.
Thanks for the review, Kevin. I've been shooting primarily Fuji for about 18 months, mostly X Pro 1 but this summer I added an X-T1 and just purchased a second. Great little cameras for the sort of work I do (candid people, mostly.) For me, one main benefit is the small size and discreetness of the system -- I'm just an old guy with a funny little camera, and no one takes much notice while I'm working. And after more than 25 years shooting with a huge SLR kit, being able to fit all my gear into a small shoulder bag is terrific, and my back and neck thank me every day.
As for processing, I've performed my own tests using Lightroom and making large prints from the Fuji, Canon 5D3, and Sony RX1 files, and I'm satisfied with the results from the Fuji (yes, even landscapes :) ) Of course there are discernable differences in the files when viewed at 200% on a monitor, but they are all surprisingly similar when printed. YMMV, of course.
-
There is one. It is called Amazon ;)
While I agree that one could get a camera and lens from Amazon and return it after two weeks because of "dissatisfaction" I do find this ethically questionable. However, that might just be me. ;)
@k bennet - thanks for the website; I'll check it out.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for a great article. I have two X-E1 bodies, the two 'ordinary' zooms and the 23mm and 56mm primes. I also have a Leica 35mm Summicron with Fuji adaptor. Like you, I find the 56mm awesome even on the X-E1. I also have a Canon 5dIII and L glass. I love my Canon, BUT, as has been said so many times, it is comparatively heavy and large. As most of what I do is for a local magazine or travel I rarely print above A4, c 11.5" x 8.25". The Fuji is now my most used camera, and I relish the size, weight, and IQ. To me the combination of sensor and lenses really pleases me. Yesterday I took images with the 56mm of the heads of horses that were going out on a traditional Boxing Day ride with the hounds (no killing involved!) The horse owners were delighted. I am also delighted with the firmware update policy of Fuji.
Why have I not jumped for the X-T1? I have handled it several times at exhibitions and my local dealer and am very attracted. I am also aware of the rumors about an X-Pro2. I would hate to buy an X-T1 and find 2 months later that I wished I had waited. I will upgrade in 2015 - that is definite. I love my Canon for wildlife, and have yet to see a good review of the X-T1 for e.g. birds in flight, or fish like dolphins so will keep it for a while, but it is on probation!
Your review is making me sit on my hands with a smile of anticipation.
Jonathan
-
Kevin,...I read your XT1 review, I have noted your comparison to Oly OMD and I have had my 'bottle tops' scraped together for some time.....so, lets get down to the nittygritty......you obviously print to reasonable size so;...at what print size does the XT1's larger sensor start to outshine teh OMD's 60% smaller one?
.......Thanks in advance for reply!
-
Interesting article certainly a good read and useful
I've been dabbling with the X mount a bit albeit on a smaller scale and I like it but have some mixed feelings
XT-1 is good used one a while back I liked it (mostly) quite a lot the new firmware brings some nice stuff to the table
I picked up an X-M1 to play with I have an adapter coming for my A mount lenses though I have used a few of the Fuji lenses some of them are very good, some a little weaker
Major stumbling blocks for me:
Flash is weak, new flashes are coming and hopefully this will address the problem
HSS is needed esp for wedding work situation is compounded with base ISO of ISO 200
Fuji 18-135mm didn't impress me much nice build and sealing but an inferior lens to the Sony 18-135mm I have optically
Would like some faster pankcake primes the 27mm F2.8 should be F2 IMO
The 35mm F1,4 is good like that lens, likewise the 56mm F1.2 also a very nice lens not tried the newer 50-140mm F2.8 though
Mostly good but I'm not ready to switch I'll play around with my A mount glass on an X body. If Fuji sort out some of those areas I might look at it. I think they need to look again at the pricing of some of their "budget glass" I'd also make a case for in body stabilisation I think that would enhance the appeal
The company is doing some good stuff, but they're not there yet...that's my take so far I quite like the X Trans sensor it's good (least in my field testing APS- C that is the smaller X compact sensor isn't great tried it a let down) but Fuji are fudging the ISO values more than most overstating the actual ISO. 8/10 so far more work to do but it will depend on what you shoot quite a lot really.
-

You might take a look at the Nissin i40 which should now be shipping for Fuji. It's a fairly compact flash but has a guide number of 40 meters. I've had a lot of success with it both with Nikon DSLRs and also with the Sony a7R. At least for Sony and Nikon it does have HSS and works in TTL, auto, manual, etc. Compensation or power levels are super easy to dial in with the dual dial system. I wrote a short review of it in case you are interested:
http://www.ejphoto.com/Quack%20PDF/Nissin%20i40%20Compact%20Flash%20For%20Sony%20Reviewx.pdf
-
Hi thanks for the info on that the Nissin looks like a good compact flash unit, but as far as I'm aware even the latest firmware did not add HSS for any of the X series bodies
I am a bit surprised Fuji didn't do this from day one flash is fairly important to many users, I can use ND filters to cut the light down but it's just easier to have HSS for a bit of fill flash
I'm not planning on buying much for Fuji right now rather using lenses I have with an adapter. I can use my Metz flash in A mode which works well but it's unbalanced on a small X body. The Nissin looks ideal but I'm not ready to abandon my A mount stuff just yet
-
Wow, that is a major shortcoming that has seemingly been downplayed in the press on the Fuji X-system.

It doesn't seem to have been highlighted much even review sites don't mention it.
I suppose if you don't do a lot of flash it might not bother some, but even my 35mm AF bodies all of them have this (and some are over 14 years old)
I think the flash was an after thought for Fuji at the time, which possibly is quite a serious mistake to have made.
Maybe they will rectify this I hope so

Only a rumor at this stage but supposedly there would be a new flash from Fuji in the spring of 2015 with HSS and wireless:

I heard that and evidently Metz are making them which I don't have a problem with as I use Metz right now (good flashes)
I'll see how "X" pans out it's interesting and I like most of what's coming out
But I am not likely to switch for a few reasons, a while back I said the blessing and bane of ILC's was their ability to accept many lenses via adapters and this is great for users, but it might also rob OEM makers of valuable and profitable lens profits (where margins are supposedly much better) I'm surprised the LL hasn't picked up on this if lenses mostly drive profits for the big makers then ILC makers could be in for a rough ride it seems almost like a self defeating concept. I can't use Fuji X lenses on my A mount stuff so I have little incentive to buy lenses for X mount. Unless I made the choice to switch over entirely there isn't a lot of cash to be made from folks like me.
I won't rule it out longer term but the X range lacks third party support too and that's a problem as well hopefully things will improve over time
I can see the appeal for those who travel, or want a smaller package to lug about. APS-C is fine too but then the crop lens range will limit things for Fuji if they ever go FF at some point. In contrast most of my A mount lenses are full frame. Lots of choices maybe too many but interesting times no doubt

Metz filed for bankruptcy back in November so that may effect things.

I do own a smartphone.
Never quite been able to bring myself to use it as a camera though...
I don't know what that means for what I shoot though.
I have certainly shot a lot of rubbish that would not even warrant 15s consideration on social media or otherwise.
Thankfully, though, I have shot some interesting and worthwhile stuff over the years.
Also, interestingly, I have a friend who was a press photographer who now shoots mainly sports for Getty and also works independently for certain press agencies. He uses his smartphone a lot, on a day-by-day basis, and shoots whatever catches his eye. The IQ is not what his DSLR produces but as an exercise in framing and composition he certainly keeps his hand in.
I think there might be a lesson there...
