The editors didn't like
Questionable mechanics of buttons/controls
Tough to access some controls with gloves
Just adequate video capabilities
No GPS
Price
$1
299.95 (body only). $1
699.95 as a kit with an 1855mm FUJINON lens
Fairly expensive
$400 more than the X-E2
Exposure compensation dial is easily bumped
Four-way controller buttons are hard to press
Significant viewfinder lag for burst shooting
No raw files above ISO 6
400
Default settings strongly limit JPEG dynamic range
Some of the controls are too hard to manipulate
Its general performance doesn't stand out
And the movie quality disappoints
Mediocre video quality and adjustments
Retro controls can be confusing for some users
More expensive than standard X-T1. A little slow to start up. No built-in flash. Geotagging could be better implemented. On the pricey side
Battery life is only OK. No builtin flash (but it does come with a little detachable one). Steep learning curve for novices. Expensive for its sensor size
Poor battery life
Some fiddly buttons
Limited video options
Rear buttons are small
And almost flush to camera body
Fourway controller is rather 'spongey' in feel
Awkwardly positioned
Locking ISO dial is inconvenient (especially with large lenses)

All of the above would not be worth talking about if the X-T1 didn't deliver good quality images. And because its imaging system is already based on the highly regarded lineage of X-cameras I got what I was expecting to see, great images.Fujifilm said whe...

For about $300 more than you'd spend on an X-E2, the Fujifilm X-T1 offers a significantly more comfortable shooting experience. Not only is your eye centered above the lens when using the EVF, but the EVF itself is much better, especially for bursts. The ...

The X-T1 is probably Fujifilm's best camera to date, offering a compelling combination of intuitive handling, excellent image quality, and one of best electronic viewfinders we've seen. It also features one of the most impressive autofocus systems on any ...

The Editor's Choice Award is an obvious one. The photo world has been abuzz with talk about the X-T1. It's got the right mix of vintage design and contemporary technology. Granted, the sensor is the same as the X-E2's, but that isn't a problem. The X-seri...
I could write pages more about the X-T1. It is a really fine camera indeed. Great built quality and lots of excellent features. Fuji’s lens line up is growing and most of their XF optics are quite excellent. If I owned an X-T1 I would be more than pleased to use it occasionally for some of my work...
