Fujifilm X-T1

Classic design meets modern tech with fantastic results

Classic design ; Outstanding handling ; Excellent image quality ; Class-leading viewfinder

No touchscreen

Switching between the two for optimal focusing speed is said to be as fast as 0.08secs.

Fujifilm X-T1 review

Is the Fujifilm X-T1 premium CSC a good DSLR replacement?

Smaller than a semi pro DSLR ; Retro styling ; Tilting rear panel LCD

Narrow handgrip ; Pricey if adding lenses ; Cramped top-plate controls

Fuji X-T1 and X-T1 Graphite review

Fuji's SLR-style CSC now comes in two colours and with a big firmware upgrade

Traditional controls ; Rugged build ; Wi-Fi ; Tilting LCD

Advanced Filter JPEG only ; Screen not vari-angle

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.

Fujifilm X-T1 review

There's a certain sense of "full circle" about the Fujifilm X-T1. A number of years ago the Japanese company was in the throes of releasing its excellent S-series DSLR cameras. But nobody really bought into them and, therefore, they were ultimately a...

Giant viewfinder is ace, excellent image quality just like X-E2, retro mode dials are great in use, solid build with weather-sealing, tilt-angle LCD screen

Autofocus not fastest in class, no weather-sealed lenses (yet), single SD, so-so battery life, viewfinder ghosting in dim light, some tight button placement

Let’s get the slight downsides out of the way first: the X-T1 could do with a better battery, autofocus needs to be refined for precision, and continuous autofocus won’t keep a similar price DSLR at bay in our opinion. Oh and there are no...

Fujifilm X-T1 review

The Fujifilm X-T1 takes aim… Fires! And its target is the Olympus E-M1

Outstanding image quality ; Top-class autofocus ; Solid, weatherproof build ; Superb EVF

No in-body stabilisation ; Pricey lenses ; No touchscreen

There’s lots to love about this top snapper. A worthy alternative to the E-M1

Fujifilm X-T1: The company's best ILC to date

With a great viewfinder, speedy burst and excellent photo quality, the camera really impresses. But there are some irksome quirks.

The stunning viewfinder, comfy grip and plethora of direct controls makes the ; a joy to shoot with, plus the image quality is great and the continuous-shooting is among the best in its class.

Some of the controls are too hard to manipulate, its general performance doesn't stand out, and the movie quality disappoints.

The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for advanced photographers as long as its quirks don't bother you.
