My 1st thoughts on the Fuji X-T1 - Steve Huff Photo

[@parrotfishko]

i love fuji, they listen and learn from their customer.

[@Tiss17979]

The Olympus EVF has a 0.7 magnification (related to 35 mm equivalent). The 1.4 spec ist related to the µ43 size. Fuji´s spec is, which is 0.77, is already in 35 mm equivalent. So you should compare the right specs.

[@sgeorgiev]

Hey Steve, nice to hear your excitement. I have my X-T1 for 3 days now and i like it a lot. It kind of grows in me each day. I have at least 4-5 brands - Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji, Oly and I was very critique about this Fuji. However, as I said - this camera grew up very quickly and I love it. I got rid of the E-M5 & EM-1 and I'll probably get rid of the NEX-7. I'm keepind D800E and 5DMIII for serious landscape and studio work, but X-T1 will be my main travel camera. Cheers from Philly!

[@paulbest1408]

quality, easy to use , all your dials are there and takes seconds to change settings .. I love mine !!!

[@SLRist]

I just hope the X200 inherits the best features of the X-T1. Especially fast AF and waterproofing. Please Fuji!! I'm even willing to swap an optical VF for a larger EVF.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

I'm a Pentax user, and I have the K-5 and K-01, and I've fallen in love with manual focus photography with live view and focus peaking (on the K-01), I use a LCDVF over the screen to use it as a view finder. It does have a low resolution though, and you can't adjust the focus peaking in any way except on or off, but still, it's pretty great for that use. The X-T1 looks awesome, and there is an adapter for it for Pentax lenses (I have several great old fully manual ones), so I really want to try it out as it's faster than the K-01, has a proper view finder with a much higher resolution screen (I don't know if you can adjust the focus peaking, but a higher resolution screen makes it better already).

[@waynechristian6924]

Thank you Steve for making a review.. i'd been waiting this for months coz i belive in your opinion... thank you and more power.

[@BooLee01]

Steve, what is that camera strap you have on the Fuji? Did it come with the camera? I really like it.

[@redtails]

Jeez, almost 7 and a half minutes before you finally turn the thing on. There's an unwritten rule that camera reviews should immediately jump to the camera's video or photo footage, and THEN after that the looks and feel of the camera itself. That's literally the only thing you should care about in a camera; how good are the pictures

[@christophermollon3516]

definitely not the ONLY thing lol. ergonomics matter immensely, next to picture quality.

[@WilsonWongWilzWorkz]

Honest reviews gets respect because we have the viewers and readers with their interest in mind. And if the manufacturers have done good, then we are more than happy to talk about what they have done! As for XT1, I kind of feel that the dials not need to be locked. And the 4 way buttons and some buttons are just too 'shallow' for easier access. The standard I look forward to are those buttons on XE2. Shooting with the camera, yes it is much much better than my workhorse XE1 (yes i shoot XE1 professionally too). Pity the ergonomics. And yes, i missed the option to have soft release button.

[@taoyizhi]

I want this camera so bad!!! And the lens selection is awesome!

[@elgrande1100]

I love your reviews my friend!!! I watch all other reviews (Fuji guys, the camera store tv, and so on) when I try to buy a camera but I feel most of them are very bias... And now that you said that Fuji stopped contacting you, it's just true about what other reviewers are VERY bias, sorry crappy Fuji people, I'm buying a Sony a6000 instead of Fuji products...

[@mitchellriggs]

Just an FYI - The X-T1 and the Ex-2 will not sync with an external audio source (or other non fuji cameras). Video drifts about a frame a minute. Fuji knows of the problem but says the camera is within their spec...whatever that means. This is a big deal for video bloggers who love this camera and want to use off-camera audio recording. The Ex-1 at 24 P will sync fine. Fuji may fix this in a future firmware update, but they have not yet publicly addressed the issue.

[@ThePhotoTruth]

Doesn't it have a 2.5mm mic input?

[@mitchellriggs]

Ben Kleschinsky Yes it does - but there is no audio level indication or adjustment available while rolling - you have to guess the levels before the shot and hope for the best. The pre-amps in the camera aren't terrible, but everything in the 1300 category will sync with a Zoom H1. Many cameras well below this price point will too...like even my iPhone. Funny, the Ex-1 didn't have this problem. Sync is rock solid. Fuji seems to have introduced the issue when they changed their video frame rate from 24P to 29.97

[@ThePhotoTruth]

man. Wonder if theres anything external to get that would give you the audio levels. well at least theres no huge issues on the photography side that has come out yet, after all it is a camera.

[@Thornkvist927]

Love the looks, I use an Leica M myself but this is a really good looking camera. Full frame is the only thing missing

[@kape06111]

Looks very nice this camera. But i still like better the Nikon Df, whats is your opinion about the DF and The XT1. By the way, where can i get such a camera strap. Looks nice. Thanks for your video.

[@65WZ]

Thanks Steve, this is really tempting.. But since I already have a couple of bodies, I'll need hands-on tests before finally deciding.

[@stevey500]

Glad to know you're a pentax appreciater as well, Steve!

[@garychowhm]

I am enjoying my A7... Loving it to bits.... I don't agree with you that the sony interface is hard to use.... In fact I find the xt1 is harder to use...

[@larryzapata2614]

Not sure if i'll get a response. But I've been a Fuji user since x100. But recently have been living with Fuji focusing. Actually using adapted glass a lot. I am not a fan of focus by wire. Been thinking of the xt 1 but have been looking at em1 ep5 or maybe just wait for gh4 as im trying to do more video. Is the video on Olympus any hood?

[@uflux]

You suggest that having controls on top of the body is some how more "photographic"....Perhaps I could suggest theses knobs mean you often take your eye away from the subject to change settings which is surely less "photographic". EG. Sony's Function button takes away the need for knobs, and the need to look away from the viewfinder...One single touch feel button that changes 90% right in front of you...2 cents

[@ernixy]

I don't think so. You can see the settings as it moves through the evf. You'll also be able to get used to the top dials in no time.

[@uflux]

Yeah not sure how it constitutes being more "pro" having multiple knobs to deal with rather than a button...

[@xBrassVerdict]

I don't know about it being more "photographic", but I think I would really like the manual controls on the top. It kind of harkens back to my early days with the Canon AE-1. I like the idea of manually setting the 3 components of a good exposure without having to dive into a menu or making sure I am in the right mode. Like Steve said, once you initially set up the camera you can shoot without having to dive into the menu system. I do not think the dials make it a more "pro" camera, but I don't think that is what this camera is about. This camera is about the passion of photography, at least in my opinion. If you want to be pro I think you should still be using a DSLR. I would buy this camera for the simple love of taking pictures, it seems to fit that niche very well.

[@mentalcrisis00]

I partly agree with uflux, although I started out with using manual film cameras from 35mm to 4x5 and I understand that having those old knobs is great. I have tried my friends XE-1 and it seems a lot like a street or portrait camera to me. Of course he uses it for everything being his primary camera but if you have the time for manipulating the knobs that's great. I usually don't as most of my work involves wildlife photography. I have gotten used to the thumb and index finger dials for adjusting my settings and having my left hand dedicated to focusing/zooming. I'm all about retro controls as I still use my 4x5 camera for landscapes but I prefer my Nikon DSLR for speed and my Pen for size/lens availability. To me the Fuji has awesome lenses but not enough of them in my preferred focal lengths, at least for now. Then again my friend sold his DSLR for a fuji so it comes down to personal taste. It's the pictures that make the photographer not the camera.

[@ThePhotoTruth]

Doesn't this camera also have a rotating knob to change the shutter speed within the software. Not talking about the one with numbers on it but a swively custom one.

[@xerxes1358]

It has been a few months since you had the camera in your hands. How do you like the X-T1 so far? Is there anything else that was released in the meantime that you like more?

[@moodyrcf]

wonder if those who complained about the Nikon Df's control with the thumb and front dial are going to complain about the Fujifilm X-T1's dials as well. Fuji has finally made a camera thats worth switching. My choice before was Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Olympus OM-D E-M5 and chose em5 because of the autofocus issue only. I have been waiting for something like this since Fujifilm S5-Pro. actually ive been eyeing for fuji to make a great camera. anyway, going to wait for X-Pro2. still prefer the rangefinder design, the hump on my e-m5 is a nuisance when taking it out of the camera bag, and i believe it will be the same with the xt1.

[@DGBomber]

Actually the X-T1's dial's design is much much better than the DF's, simply because the DF has a dsrl-like PASM dial that overrides the other dials, so if you are in aperture mode and change the shutter speed with the dial it will have no effect. You will see a speed on the dial while the real one in another, this is very confusing. Fuji's approach is much better, placing the "A" setting on every dial and gettin rid of the PASM dial.

[@moodyrcf]

Shaitan I really love Fuji for removing the PASM mode. I really don't get the point of having it. I mean, having it physically. I'd rather have an ISO dial since in digital world it's one of the most used control after shutter and aperture. I sort of wish the X-M1 had no PASM mode. since it is the only body i can afford. =(

[@DGBomber]

Raphael Jan Cañete Ferraris Yeah the single dials are good, but honestly I feel confortable with the PASM dial + two weels also ...I had a X-E1 and now I have a 6D. The real non-sense is having both, they work against each other =)

[@OrelRussia]

Steve, please, try a Pentax 31/1.8 Limited with your K-3. Some say that it is on par with Leica lenses. Pentax 77/1.8 Limited and 43/1.9 are also great!

[@tonnystax]

Love it, can't wait for your xt1 review...

[@photographerjonathan]

I wish it had an articulating touch screen, built in flash, and I wish you could change the focus point with the 4 way controller without having to push any button first, but overall I think it's a really nice camera

[@aronisink1]

Looks like a great purist camera. I own an xe-1,love it for stills but frustrated with fast moving subjects. Hope fuji can start focusing on the video features next. it be great to shoot in velvia mode in video without having to use film lut in an editing program. This year is truly exiting with so many great cameras, I'm going broke. But loving it.......

[@kiatlow9700]

Any thoughts of using the Panasonic Nocticron on the X-T1 body? What would be the compromise, in other words what features will not work?

[@arhtyout]

Hi Steve, great first look which has finally sold me on the X-T1, thank you! A quick question, what strap do you have on the body?

[@hidesuzuki156]

keep what you're doing Steve!

[@PewLaserBeams]

@steve Huff can you please double check if the sensor is clean with no dust\oil specs.

[@helthuismartin]

The X pro 1 had a slow AF.What about Leica? It doesnt even has AF.I never heard Steve complaining about that.

[@stijnservaes]

The leica has only mf so speed is entirely dependent on you and your eyes. It is a manual focusing camera. Fuji Xpro camera has autofocus and is pretty much meant to be used as such so you cant compare the focus on the two. You can compare it like this. Steve says a car has turbo but it is kinda slow. And then you say why he doesnt complain about this other car that doesnt have turbo.

[@stijnservaes]

stijn servaes with "you can compare it like this" I meant "you can illustrate it like this"

[@canuckbucks]

the leica doesnt pretend to be a sane man's photographic tool but instead an object'd'art. If people spent half as much time talking about taking photos as they do their knobs the..... wait... what the hell was I saying?

[@kaibe5241]

I thought he was using it as a comparison, as the X-T1 is more comparable to the X-Pro1 than any of the others.

[@DesoloZantas]

Yay more Steven Blum! Love this camera

[@MrPanohead]

What's the point of having a dof-scale when there are no distance markings? Or are they under the focussing ring and you have to pull it back to use it?

[@212lohs]

Can't wait for Fuji to go FF, but I wouldn't mind getting the XT-1!

[@ThePhotoTruth]

Get a speedbooster!

[@212lohs]

Slow AF and it squeezes more light in so the bokeh balls become onions.

[@branislavpetkovic]

Please do the test of EVF like Kai of Digitalrev TV for Sony A7. Go to typical underground parking with poor lighting, close one eye put the other on a viewfinder and run between cars from one end of a parking to the other while watching only through X-T1 EVF. I'll respect your opinion and hope you won't be injured a lot. Thank you.

[@jl9752]

Thanks for the video! Im seriously thinking of selling off my nikon stuff and switching over to fuji, but a little concerned about the customer care in US. I just found out the warranty on their lenses are only a year....whereas Nikon usa extends theirs to 5. Im really interested in their fast primes, but if i am spending close to a grand per lens, i would appreciate a bit longer warranty.....hmmmm decisions decisions...

[@jcnash02]

Steve, is there bad jello-effect when shooting video, also what does the audio sound like with a decent external mic?

[@farouk6564]

I got mine yesterday and I am loving it. now I need to figure out what to do with the EM1 :)

[@krnsoccerfreak]

how much are you planning to sell the em1 for? i have one as well w the oly 17mm 1.8 and and lookin to put those up for sale to purchase this.

[@farouk6564]

Not sure because the price dropped all of a sodden I think I am going to wait until olympus stops the $200 rebate for the kit. Hope this helps!

[@jevfp]

honestly ,.I will keep my E-m1,.and also E-P5,.,.Fuji might have more dial than both camera,.but we're talking about the workflow,.still can not match the E-m1,.why,. try to compare how fast to move the AF point on XT1 against E-M1,. D-pad button/direction button is a BIG FAILURE ,.i hope Fuji Designer can read this,. the Front -and rear Dial,.is too small [FYI] i have an Asian small hand,.but still ,.what i mean is ,.probably useful enough for some people but ,for my self ,.I do not enjoy it, the last one is ,.how do you like the ISO button,? ,.mine is very difficult to turn ,.i and to keep pressed ,.I wished Fuji can see the PEN -LOCK dial ala E-M1

[@farouk6564]

I use the camera to take pictures the rest I really don't care. What matters the most is image quality and the fuji coupled with the X lenses is amazing.

[@elanthys]

Great mini-review, heading to the full-size version in a second...! I'm really thinking about getting the XT-1 to replace my old D90 but am still on the fence (also tempted by the D610) so any info is useful. The XT-1 sure is a great contender for such a small package. One question, what strap are you using on the XT-1 in the video? Looks really nice and isn't branded (that I could see) so I'm thinking it's not stock...

[@zaneclone]

Can you shoot in Aperture priority and select a min' shutter speed (as per Nikon...)...with auto iso..?

[@atyl1972]

steve, which is best in your opinion for landscapes and some macro, this or the nikon df?

[@philg6757]

I still own the XE-1 and have been waiting for this camera,kidneys on Ebay.

[@kuruji]

Did it actually take three presses to get the down nav button to work at 10:15?

[@jimmerjohn9524]

Looks like a great camera with a few minor kinks - this is a great foundation and start for fuji to just hit it out of the park with the X-T2. (kinda like the e-m5 mark ii which is just a perfect followup to the e-m5 mark i. added everything possible to make it even better). i can feel it, watch out for that x-t2, its gonna be dangerous

[@sebastianaguilar6835]

if i had to buy two cameras from amongst these four: A7s, A7ii, A6000, Fuji XT-1 and I would want it mainly fo rwedding photography (no video), and i own M-Mount lenses i'd like to keep, which would you choose? my gut says A7ii and A7s, but i AM tempted by this Fuji every now and then, and i need to make a decision soon. what is YOUR opinion?

[@gideon3839]

go get the X pro 2...

[@DANVIIL]

Can you get to image quality a little more up front? All the speeds and feeds are nice, but how are the freakin' images? Most of the great images taken over the last 150 years were taken by manual focus cameras.

[@moviewatcher1024]

The controls on the Nikon Df are nowhere as good as the Fuji X-T1. Nikon designers are NOT photographers. Love the Fuji.

[@ThePhotoTruth]

Simple explanation, Nikon is an optics company that makes DSLR's. So is Canon.

[@bray4940]

I love this camera.. Anyone care more for the graphite look, or the black body?

[@jgallagher3648]

I got one with the f/2.8-4 18-55mm kit lens from B&H...and I love it. =D

[@rowlandwan6253]

what's the point of the apature and shutter speed dails if you've already get two thumb dails that can control it?

[@ThePhotoTruth]

Yep jumped ship from Nikon. Nikon and Canon are one of the companies I like to call too big to fail. Sorry Nikon and Canon lovers but I'd like to see Canon or Nikon or Sony for that matter admit a light leak offer a full replacement of a new camera and have the buttons now updated on it from people complaining about it online. Props to Fuji for that one! Don't get me wrong Nikon and Canon make great professional DSLRs such as the d4s, canon 5D Mark III and 1DX but kinda slouch on other bodies. Nikon and Canon still make beautiful lenses. Yep Nikon and Canon are optics companies that make DSLR's. After all thats where there origins came from. Anyways sold my Sony A7R after trying it out in low light. It's EVF fails in low light. Sounds like this camera's EVF is beautiful. Had no idea it had a tilty LCD Screen. I exploded when you added that in there. Has more buttons than I thought too.

[@milanpintar]

I love my EM1 .. but this is a great view.. looks like a cool camera also

[@ahmedhaneef]

how does it compare w/ X-T10 and Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II. I'm hving a hard time deciding between these three. which one would you suggest. thanks

[@DANVIIL]

If you like image quality get the Fuji. The Fujinon lenses are made of metal and are awesome.

[@victoroliveira3256]

Very very surprising, great review thank you

[@milanpintar]

damn.. I love the button layout of the fuji more then the olympus.. it reminds me of a nikon SLR body button control

[@recorderfan]

i am not sure what camera to get i am between the a7 or this one or the em1. but the em1 is for thirds, the xt1 is a bit larger sensor but the a7 is full frame. i am not sure if having a full frame is the best. is having a full frame so important or are there other factors more important than the sensor?. i am a bit worry that this camera is too overpriced.

[@ldhyunl]

Steve, you must try tracking moving subjects with the continuous autofocus. Do it!

[@walliswizard]

Tried the XT1 but I kept pressing buttons I didn't mean to. It's a nice camera but I still think I prefer my XE2 personally.

[@Angelchildxx]

that's what a guy that it's going to buy his first real camera want to hear :D I think I'll go for the X-E2....the difference in price with the T1 I'll invest in lenses...

[@walliswizard]

Angelchildxx I'd say that's the sensible route unless you REALLY need all the features of the XT1, which I certainly don't. I do want that 14mm lens that Steve is using in that video though - that's a cracking lens and definitely on my list to buy....

[@Neopulse00]

Will wait till they add tethering to it. Chances are it'll be much cheaper by then

[@BoweiCheng]

Fuji sucks, with such a lot of money, I can buy a sony full frame. As you said, they don't accept negative comments.

[@jevfp]

Steve,.i have a mixed love and hate about this camera,.but after i used the camera for about 3 days,.i grew cold with this camera,.Why?,it is VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE AF POINT.probably a small problem with somebody else,.but for me is really a big issue,.FYI i have the OM-D EM5- 1 E-P5 ,.and also few DSLR nikon in the past secondly the D-Pad /direction button is too stressful to be use ,.i kept depress,the button ,its so contrast with E-M1 D-Pad button,.or even E-P5. Third,.the ISO button is too stiff and when i tried to turn the ISO button ,.i have to really press,.and cause me to loose the grip on the lens,.JUST WISHED FUJI IS SMART ENOUGH TO FOLLOW OLYMPUS WITH PEN-LOCK DIAL BUTTON on the EM-1

[@panchoskywalker]

So the 14mm is equivalent to +/- 21mm on a full frame? WHat if I want a 35mm equivalent lens, is there any option?

[@skylinedesigner]

XF 23mm f1.4, 35mm equivalent. It's actually on sale now.

[@godamu2751]

I have got large feet ... will that be a problem using this camera

[@kongpisey9732]

How much is that Fuji camera?? It can take video right??

[@federicoalbaphoto]

image quality is the best on x-t1 or om-d e-m1 ? thanks

[@juzmah]

What brand is the strap on your X-T1?

[@jc8597]

Where is the strap on the X-t1 from?

[@elgrande1100]

O, and I forgot to mention that other reviews that people can trust too it's from B&H but only when the staff do the reviews not when representative from the company makes them because it will be very bias

[@amartyabhadra4998]

Please brief us about the autofocus.

[@montana117]

Wonder how a Leica lens would on that camera? are there adapters.

[@DANVIIL]

Yes. You use almost any make lens on a Fuji X body.

[@D800Lover]

Really looking forward to 4.0 Firmware for my X-T1 coming out in June - the AF has some really important changes coming up.

[@kaibe5241]

D800Lover I'll be getting my first X-T1 in about a month's time, just after the new firmware release. Super excited! :D

[@adamdobias4052]

+Kirk Bushell Did you end up buying the x-t1? How do you like it? :)

[@kaibe5241]

Adam Dobiáš yup - absolutely love it!! Got it about a month ago :) I had an X-E2 previously, and just the upgrade in the viewfinder is phenomenal.

[@kaibe5241]

***** I have one as well, for street photography, the problem I find is the lack of IOS, it definitely shows i low-light :'(

[@jonrowley1]

Great video Steve, I'm currently awaiting delivery in Australia so I can get one. Just one thing I must address....... did you say "grippage" ??? Karl Pilkington will be so proud !

[@juzmah]

Where can I buy one?

[@benzito97]

Love your strap...Can you tell me where I can buy it...Thanks

[@Juice56107]

Google Lance camera straps

[@malthus101]

Excellent review - that's what I like... an opinion!

[@EdEditz]

Looks fantastic. Wish I could say 'I'm gonna keep it' haha.

[@Minoltalphafan]

Doesn't Fuji use Sony's EVF, even the XE-1 has an OLED 2.3megapixel EVF, same spec as this XT1and the Olympus, cant see how it would be so inferior.

[@Biznak205]

The only thing the same is the resolution everything else is different. (Features,visuals etc). Fuji's is much larger and is pretty awesome to use.

[@chrissearle23]

Watched this to hear a review of the XT1 but it turns out it's a review of Steve Huff...!

[@zack.hughes]

What camera strap do you have on the xt1?

[@whaticantbelieveit]

I think it's the 'Street Strap'

[@francescoromano]

This camera looks awesome but costs too much... Maybe if I sell my x100s but even then it would be a big price difference. Man, Fuji fanboys have lost their marbles I once mentioned also that this camera looks similar to the Omd series and people lost it. Great coverage Steve, love your videos :)

[@xBrassVerdict]

I would say give it a while and the price will come down. This camera is hot now, but something will come along that will catch everyone's eye and this camera will reduce in price. At least that is what I hope because I can't afford the sticker price now.

[@ThePhotoTruth]

Well thats what happened with the A7R. Vibration issue. Crappy EVF in low light. I'm hoping but it sounds like this camera is all that it's made out to be.

[@isaacemilmedina]

Why are optical viewfinders so underrated these day? I don't want to EVF anymore. Is it just me?

[@scottmoore5839]

Sure would of been nice to see some photos....!

[@WideAppeal]

Would have been a better review without the long rant at the beginning. Enough just to say that Fuji has been evolving positively I would have though.

[@MandrakeCigars]

Pump out more lenses Fuji. You already have great bodies.

[@ukmitch86]

Is this the latest and greatest fuji body?

[@kiki11111100]

yes. x-pro 2 probably is coming up though, so if you want the best sensor and a ovf, you should wait (it'll probably be a bit too expensive though (at least at launch))

[@ukmitch86]

CptButtChewer thanks - did you mean EVF? It seems an OVF requires a mirror. Can an OVF display information and offer focusing aids?

[@kiki11111100]

ukmitch86 it'll display info of your settings and focus confirmation/zones, you can't show exposure preview (it does show histogram if I'm not mistaken) or focus peaking. My guess would be the OVF would be very similar to the X100T, wich allows you to use a kind of picture in picture mode with an evf view in your ovf (look at some videos of that camere, you'll see)

[@mitchelljameshoward8076]

CptButtChewer think I'll see if there's a Christmas offer on the X-T1, will be selling up 10yr old Canon gear so not too fussed about a 6 month Fuji replacement cycle!

[@kiki11111100]

X-T1 is a great camera (the handling o_O), but make sure you do not want to wait to see the x-pro2, the worst buys are the ones you regret.....(and when the x-pro2 comes out there probably will be some deals on the x-t1 as well), than again if you can't wait just go for it, it's a lovely camera

[@stevestruthers6180]

The physical build quality of the XT-1 is incredibly good, too bad the camera is let down so badly by horrible video.

[@paulbest1408]

its not a video camera .. its for photographers

[@guitarrakapo]

A full-frame X-Pro1 or X-T1... If only...

[@igeisendoerfer]

man you are really exited

[@iam_nick]

well said mate

[@malthus101]

Hair on your thumbnail. : )

[@Gregw1968]

I just bought an X-PRO-1 for a bargain price... ITs a lovely camera and takes great pictures. Why pay a premium price now for the XT1. And your talking shite about the fuji evf's, the res on the x100 / xpro1 is fine, and who created the hybrid viewfinder. Higher res doesnt always mean better VF, i own the NEX 5N with evf, its twice the res but its a bit too contrasty. i prefere the fuji evfs.

[@loganlynn6175]

I like what it offers, but their lens selection falls short.

[@ethanvang7483]

I think Fuji stopped sending you cameras and/or stay in contact with you because of poor video production. I don't want to see a video with someone fiddling with a camera in review and talk in the background throughout the whole video. Simply unprofessional and homemade for sure.

[@Zozman-]

Love your videos, always watch the new reviews. Having said that, I gotta call you out on one point tho, you are kinda full of shit saying this camera is so much better than every X camera, its an X-E2 with a different body & tweaked EVF, which is Cool, because the X-E2 is great & the X-T1 has the same sensor, image processor, AF system as the X-E2, just saying, the X-E2 will probably get a few of the new features the X-T1 has in a firmware update. X-Pro 1, yeah its still slow :P haha. Keep up the good work.

[@walliswizard]

I have to wonder if they held back on a few things in the XE2 that they could have released it with, knowing that it would steal some of the thunder of the XT1. There isn't much that I think the XE2 is really missing, but one feature I am looking for that is in the XT1 but not in the XE2 is the wireless control of the camera via your mobile. The wifi feature in the XE2 is a bit lacking at the moment, but it's surely only a software update away...

I agree with both points. Personally I went from mainly using Canon (7D) & chose the X-E2, im very very happy with it, sometimes i think people forget what bad performance actually is, Even the X-E1 with firmware update seems pretty good to me, X-E2 is fantastic. At this current time, we are spoilt, most camera makers seem to be doing a great job, Canon & Nikon have for the most part become boring because things are going so smoothly, or don't seem to be risking much, Olympus, Sony & Fuji have all lifted their games so much, its giving everyone more legit choices, i chose Fuji, I feel like a chose right :) Steve seems a little bitter & missed the mark judging Fuji so harshly, its no big deal. I still like his reviews, i like seeing different opinions of stuff I'm into, ultimately to me my opinion counts the most haha.

pleeeeaaase FUJI give me an X-pro2... puuhhhlleeeeeaaazzz....i sold my Nikons, I sold my x100black, unloaded all my electronic crap we all accumulate like squirrels before winter and cleaned out my life of every piece of something that wasnt an artwork, photograph, family heirloom (most were pics and artworks, ha!) or critical piece of my biz. So I'm foot-loose, fancy-free, I'm to (limp around painfully but with a smile) europe with my sony-flippey-thing laptop/tablet w/ retina-like screen and a fuji x-pro2.... oh wait.... dammit fuji, I can't sit here forever, putting my life on hold so you can grow the stones needed to give leica a smackdown at 1/8 price. What are they paying you? No, I won't double it, hmmm, maybe ask Steve. Steve, help a brother out will you, get Leica to lay off my guys at Fuji so \i can get my Xpro2 da4ngit! I'm dyin' ovah here. Seriously fuji, i won't blink first, so dont think I will cause I wont. Damn I sure hope they're gonna make an xpro2 now, or I'm stuck here w/ no furniture, and a bunch of server-grade trading computers and a wall of monitors to stare at the rest of my days - maybe I could find some wood to turn them into chairs and a bed....and an apartment to put them in.... damnit fuji!!!!
