As most of you would agree that when the above equipment is not being used, it is laying safely packed in camera bags and it is a project in itself to get them out and shoot. With my growing age, I felt the need of having a camera that would sit on my desk, waiting for being picked up anytime I want and is lightweight but have a fast lens, even a fixed fast lens. Fuji released X100 and I got it in its very early days. See the unboxing pictures of X100 here (play as a slideshow with music);[...]
It had lots of limitations but it brought passion and fun back into my shooting. The limitations were mostly on the hardware, not the picture quality which was premium. Soon I felt that if I have a body that produces the quality of fuji files with an interchangeable lens, I can shoot lot more than I can do with my canon or nikon but I also felt that the mirrorless technology needs bit of time to mature. So I waited until XPro1 came along. I bought XPro1 with 14mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.4, 55-200 and 60mm f/2.4 macro. I was blown away by the quality of hardware and of course by the quality of files. See my XPro1 equipment photos here (play as a slideshow)
[...]
I however was not at all happy with autofocus speed and felt it needs a huge improvement there also I felt that a good quality EVF improvement will change the game as "CHIMPING" will not be required. On my canon and Nikon, since I cannot see what excatly my final picture will look like so I had to preview often how does my picture looks like in terms of exposure and bokeh. With EVF I was able to see the photo exactly as it would turn out after shooting. So the story continues but I did not like the refresh rate on the XPRO 1 and the fact that it was bit clumsy to respond but the picture and the build quality of the equipment kept me shooting with it. A few months later came XT1. What a game changer it has been. The EVF is bright, big and beautiful. If you shoot with fast lenses most of the time, you will be amazed at kind of 3D effect that it gives you when you see through the view finder. Soon after getting it, I went on a trip to Malaysia and Singapore and with reluctance in my mind that should I take my trusted DSLR's with me or only take fuji XT1 with me, I took both. But wallah, after shooting first day, I kept my nikon with its 14-24 f/2.8 and 24-70 f/2.8 securely packed in my bag, while I shot 90% of the trip with Fuji XT1, 14mm f/2.8 and 35 mm f/1.4 and some with 55-200 mm lens. I came back as a happy traveler with some amazing shots from Fuji. My pros and cons are now based on my 5 days of continuous shooting with XT1, 14mm f/2.8 and 35mm f/1.4.
Strengths:
1. Excellent files output, it is first time in my life I felt comfortable letting the camera process the Black and white jpgs for me, while I kept the color version RAW for later processing. The out of camera jpg's Black and white will blow you away. I can share the settings for Black and white jpg in camera processing if someone wants them.
2. Great EVF, big, bright and something that will put much fun and pleasure in your shooting.
3. Great in your hand feel
5. Lightweight and very much in stealth mode for street and candid shooting. The whole kit (fuji xt1, 14mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.4 and 55-200 were still lighter (or almost same) weight as my Nikon D700 plus 14-24 f/2.8 lens)
6. I like the viewfinder in the middle like DSLR rather than on the side as rangefinder camera or on XPro1 but that is only a personal preference.
7. I was able to transfer the black and white jpgs through camera's in built wifi to my iphone and straight to facebook. My family in Pakistan and saudi arabia were updated in minutes of my finishing a tour of a place.
8. The biggest advantage, it has brought fun back to my shooting without adding any weight to my camera bag.
Weaknesses:
1. I feel that the Autofocus mode for sports is still lacking and a improvement there will bring fuji huge benifits to their business.
2. A full frame body will take Fuji's business to the heights they have never dreamt of. Through my photos, I have many friends willing to convert provided fuji has a full frame option available.
My last frustration (nothing to do with camera) is that Lightroom still does not provide support for Fuji XT1 files. I have fooled my way in through a hack but that is not enough. Although adobe has released a RAW converter but not integrated into lightroom yet.
Thanks for reading a lengthy review. Welcome to ask questions if you have any.
I have yesterday got myself fuji 56mm f/1.2 from Adorama and absolutely loving it on my XT1.
I have been shooting with the XE-1 and OMD EM-5 for the last year or so. I primarily do timelapse photography which is comparable to landscape photography, also studio plant timelapse and macro work. General photography is a hobby of mine. I am not a professional photographer but do use photography professionally, if that makes sense. I moved from Nikon pro gear to mirrorless cameras to save weight for extended hikes to remote areas.
the XT-1 is about as perfect as a camera (for my purposes) as i have ever found, it certainly sets a new bench mark.
I doubt I will be using my XE-1 much at all for general photography. I have had this love hate relationship between the OMD and the XE-1. I liked the output of the XE-1, but found the AF to be terrible, the EVF was decent, but nothing to scream about. Everything the XE-1 did poorly the OMD excelled at, everything the OMD fell short in the XE-1 excelled in.
The XT-1 is so much faster in operation than the XE-1. the AF is very fast, it seems to be very accurate. Compared to any other mirrorless camera on the market the AF-C tracks like a bloodhound. Which to say it is about as good as a prosumer level DSLR. The viewfinder is not only usable, it is darn good.
I think the XT-1's EVF is probably the first one that really starts to threaten the OVF. Looking through this one, I would suspect the EVF is only 2 maybe 3 small generations to outperforming an OVF in every way imaginable. Not quite there yet, but that gap between the XE-1 EVF and a solid 100% view pentaprism OVF just got a lot smaller. And dont worry, the EVF future is looking incredible! There is NO percieveable lag in the viewfinder, I would suspect the lag is insignificant compared to the average persons response time. meaning, you wont lose the shot due to lag, even in low light scenarios.
For the build quality, i would say using a DSLR comparison it would be like a D800 vs a D7x00 series. Or a 5Dmk3 vs a 60D. Where you pick it up and are somehow immediately able to recognize it as something that is very well crafted and designed, and that it is a thing if quality. The knobs feel fantastic, the textured faux leather is far nicer than the XE-1's, it feels like it was machined out of a solid piece. Even the LCD screen feels solid and confidant. That is how the XT-1 not only feels compared to the XE-1, but it also looks that way too. I'm not 100% how to describe it, but I'm sure everyone understands exactly what I am talking about. This is a serious camera, I have owned and enjoyed the Fuji XE-1, first gen Olympus Pen, Olympus OMD, Sony NEX-3, Sony NEX-5N, and Nikon J1, I have handled the NEX6, and NEX7. I liked all those cameras, they all had thier strengths and weaknesses, however this is the first mirrorless camera I have ever held that feels like a professional grade tool. It looks great in the pictures, it looks and feels amazing in your hand. I would be wary of the opinion of anybody who says this is anything but a solidly constructed tool.
well, except for the side door which feel as cheap as ever. and the unlock buttons on the dials are"ok". And of course, the rear buttons sure are flush. so its not all puppies and sunshine, but those seem awfully insignificant in the long run (to me at least).
The flash they give in, well, i havent used it yet, and i probably wont. But it feels nicer than the clip on flash that came with the NEX3, NEX5, and OMD, which all felt like junk to me.
(I have not used or tested the SONY A7(r) or A6000, Olympus OMD EM-1. Sony and Olympus both make fantastic gear, i love all brands, my raving about the XT-1 should not be viewed as an attack on these fantastic cameras, to be honest though, I have yet to hold a mirrorless camera from ANY brand that feels as good as this)
This is NOT a light camera. For some reason everyone seems way too zoned in on the fact a camera CAN be smaller when mirrorless, and yes, it can, but I would think the larger benefit is the ability to go with smaller lens elements, reducing the cost for high quality lenses. I mean come on, we are all adults here, garbage in, garbage out. That is what lured me into the Fuji system is the excellent optics, the 35 1.4 is every bit as sharp as the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 which i owned for years, but costs a fraction of the price (different lens different purposes i know, but the idea remains the same). I cant say enough about the Fuji lenses that i have used. Currently my lineup includes the 18-55 (best kit lens ever made period) the 35mm f/1.4, and the 14mm f/2.8. All three of these lenses have strong reputations for a very good reason.
Im handling mine right now with the 14 f/2.8 and i tell ya what, I cant imagine this was any lighter than my D7000 and the 35mm 1.4 lens. This is NOT a pocketable camera. Even with a pancake lens, unless you have comically large pants with giant pockets full of ipads and animals.
As for customization, that can all be found online as well. You can customize the crap out of this camera. The manual focus assist options are fantastic, the response time is near instant, the back LCD looks fantastic, and the Wifi works like a champ. Where as the first Fujis were a bit limited in options and gimmicks, this thing has the whole catalog and more. And the best part is if you dont like that junk, and just want to use it as a manual camera, well, go ahead. None of that stuff gets in the way. This camera can be as basic, or as advanced as YOU wish. It is a camera that easily molds itself to your style of shooting.
As for the XE-1, it will probably be kept as a backup camera, but live most of its life on one of my motion controlled time lapse rigs with my OMD. I just got the parts to build out a battery adapter so i can run it with large capacity batteries for extended timelapse in the field, or plug it into the wall if needed.
This is hands down the best mirrorless camera i have ever held. (as mentioned before, i have NOT used the Sony A7(r), A6000 or the new OMD Em-1 all of which seem to draw most comparisons)

Reviewed in Mexico on December 15, 2018
Image Quality: 9/10
The camera is just great, it's almost as good as my 5DII even at low light, for its sensor size it's just perfect. Definitely better than the 7D I used to have. I dont even use RAW because the out of camera JPGs are just awesome as is. White balance is 99% of the time spot on, which believe it or not is not as common in many cameras as one might wish it to be. I use it mainly in aperture priority and it never failed to give a perfect exposure. I kind of wish it had a bit more pixels than 16 for bigger prints, but so far for the 4x6" prints it's been more than perfect.
Performance/speed: 7/10
The camera is fast in everything, shutter, focus, etc. However it is a bit slow to focus in low light, specially when the scene is not contrasty enough for it to lock on the subject.
Battery performance: 8/10
It's good, lasts a long time. Keep in mind I'm used to using the view finder and not the screen when shooting, so I cant comment much on how long it will last if I used the screen (live view) all the time.
Reliability: 10/10
Nothing so far, everything works as it should
Lenses: 6/10
As you've probably noticed, lenses are expensive and not too compact, kind of defeats the purpose of having a compact camera in the first place. The 35/1.4 I have is perfectly sized, but I haven't purshased any lenses so far because they are all bulky, and if I want to drag around bulky lenses I'll just shoot with my 5DII
Video: I cant give it a score because I'm not a video expert and I've tried it only once. However the video I shot was outdoors at night, which is a challenging setting, and the quality was great. The focus however was a bit tricky.
Features: 9/10
The camera is packed with features, and they all work as they should. The EVF is just big and bright, the high speed shutter works great, the WIFI computer software is annoying coz you dont get to browse and choose which photos to download, but the phone app is just amazing if you want to take a photo via wifi to your phone (works on both Android and iOS) and send to friend or share via social media.
Overall buy this camera if you want a compact high quality camera that works great. It has no issues what so ever and image quality is close to high end SLRs.
Though, my device was defective and I had to return it. Nevertheless, I'm strongly considering buying Fujifilm X-T2 as my next camera.
Ergonomics & Handling: I purchased the large Fuji grip for this camera, because without it it was difficult to handle for me - especially with large lenses. The external controls for exposure are incredible and make it effortless to always shoot in manual.
You can't go wrong with this camera.
