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)
No in-body stabilisation, Pricey lenses, No touchscreen
Fujifilm X-T1 verdict Open Gallery The X-T1 is a blindingly good camera, worthy of world-class shutter operators. If there's one complaint, it's the lack of in-camera image stabilisation. If you'll allow us another, there's the price of Fujifilm...
Even though the X-T1 breaks with Fujifilm's “poor-man's Leica” image given the company's past adherence to rangefinder-style designs, this is one hot camera with pure Fuji blood flowing through its digital veins. It has the raw sex appeal and performance ...
Solid button and dial festooned construction, choice of eye level viewfinder and rear panel LCD, smaller than the semi pro DSLR the Fuji's construction recalls
Narrowish handgrip, cramped control layout on top plate, no body integral anti shake mechanism (via specialist lenses only)
Fuji's deliberately SLR-styled X-T1 is the closest the company has come yet to blending yesteryear styling with bang up-to-date technology. It's difficult to see how the manufacturer could do any more at this stage, and within the compact system camera fo...
Firstrate picture quality and low digital noise levels up to 6400 ISO, Excellent 1855 mm f/2.84 OIS kit lens, Large and comfortable EVF, 8 fps burst mode, Camera body has weatherproof finish, Goodquality tilt screen, WiFi with comprehensive smartphone app
LCD doesn't have touchscreen controls, Disappointing video mode, No headphones out for video, No builtin flash (separate flash accessory supplied), Electronic level on one axis only, Autofocus isn't as speedy as the best micro 4/3 models, 1855 mm kit lens
The Fujifilm X-T1 is an excellent camera. It boasts first-rate picture quality with improved general responsiveness, a slightly reworked set of controls, and a viewfinder that's surprisingly pleasant and comfortable for an EVF. When mirrorless hybrids get...
The X-T1 combines excellent design with a specification that makes it great value even at its circa-£1000 price tag. Above all, it produces breathtaking images and can be relied upon whatever the conditions, making it perhaps the best CSC on the market.Ne...

Looks can take a camera further than most photographers are willing to admit, and the X-T1 is exquisitely beautiful. It's an all-around speedy camera in AF, startup time, and burst rate. Image quality is terrific and the lens selection is becoming more ro
The controls on the X-T1 are a mess. They go too far into analogue nostalgia at the expense of simplicity and speed. The EVF, while big, is very noisy in low light,
You can make a solid case the X-T1, especially at its at £1049 price. Despite the control quirks, there is currently no better high-end APS-C mirrorless camera out there. If you are willing to sacrifice sensor size, I would absolutely recommend the simila...

Traditional controls, Rugged build, Wi, Fi, Tilting LCD
Advanced Filter JPEG only, Screen not vari, angle
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....
You've probably figured out that we really like this camera. Almost everything about it is top tier: cosmetic design, ergonomics, viewfinder, controls, image quality, performance. We particularly like having physical dials for exposure compensation, shutt...
