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)
The low light high ISO performance of the X-T1 makes us rethink our timid approach to cranking up the ISO, We used the camera in tricky dim light on fast moving subjects with ISO set to 6400 and now reckon that 6400 is the new 800
Handling is a little slow compared with the competition, The Olympus OMD E-M1 and the Sony a7 are snappier in the hand
The Fujifilm X-T1 with its compact size and stellar performance makes conventional DSLRs seem old fashioned. Who needs all that extra bulk when it doesn’t translate into better image quality? The X-T1 has the same size sensor as consumer DSLRs so nothing is lost in that department...
Abstract: This 16mp APS-C sensor camera has a weather-resistant body. Main controls for aperture, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are analog, a useful retro feature for those wh...
Abstract: THE NEW FUJIFILM X-T1 JOINS THE OLYMPUS OMD E-M1 AND THE SONY a7 at the top of the mirrorless interchangeable lens camera category. For the past ten days I have had them all here together on the test b...
The X-T1 is a small departure from the original rangefinder style of Fujfilm's X-series cameras. It looks and handles like a DSLR, with a large viewfinder positioned on the camera's optical axis. But the mechanical dial controls are retained.Unfortunately...
Traditional controls, Rugged build, WiFi, Tilting LCD
Advanced Filter JPEG only, Screen not variangle
Well, Fuji has done it again: produced a camera that is not only beautiful, but is capable of producing some superb images. We can see this being top of many a photographer's lust list, and for good reason – it's top of ours too....

Large and clear EVF, Tactile control, Excellent picture quality, Weatherproof body
Price is high, Wi-Fi function isn't great
Our overall experience with this camera was a positive one and we think it's a great piece of kit. We're happy to recommend it to anyone who favours tactile, labelled controls over screens and menu systems (though you can still use the screen and menu on...
Abstract: The X-T1 is Fujifilm’s premium enthusiast-oriented weatherproof compact system cameraBack in the days of film, when you bought a camera you knew exactly what features you were getting. Digital cameras, in contrast, are miniature computers that take pictur...
Abstract: But it's the relentlessly traditional controls that I like most about this camera. They are strictly manual rather than menu-driven, and are almost indistinguishable from a 35mm SLR of 50 years ago, which may sound like a bad thing, but it's not. Pioneeri...

Abstract: When we first heard about the Fujifilm X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition we were enthusiastic. After all, the X-T1 was one of our favourite cameras of the year, so when a manufacturer starts talking about a "luxury multilayer coating" what's not to like? Inde...
What can we say? Fujifilm makes some of the finest mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras available with its X-series, even if it's a bit pricey. We gave the X-E2 our Recommended rating, but this even more expensive model deserves an Editor's Choice desi...
