Fuji XT-1 Review

Rating: 9.5/10
When purchased:
January 2015
Pros: Lightweight, EVF (Electronic ViewFinder) is the best feature. AF is very good. Best bang for buck for DSLR performance imho
Cons: Battery life sucks (Buy extra batteries in the beginning), Video is not great
Would you recommend a friend this item: Yes
Extra Comments: Camera is awesome. The Fuji lineup between the cameras and fujinon lenses are very underrated. With full frame mirrorless cameras like the Sony A7 series becoming more of the mainstream of mirrorless market. Fuji has slowly developing a pretty impressive lineup with both the cameras and lenses. Fuji products are nearly half the cost of what Sony's cameras and lenses from Zeiss, But half of the cost doesn't mean half the performance as the optics from fuji lenses are very good. There is also something that Fuji jpeg photos render that is very pleasing to my eye which was drawn to me in the first place.

*Pictures:
XT-1, 23mm F/1,4

Very nice!
How you been Jonathan?
I always look at those plates when people add weight for pullups and dips and think, why not just do 10 more reps instead

Well, I mean, I knew the actual answer, but if that's the case why not just get on the dip machine and put 300 pounds on it.
I think it would be funnier if you had a guy bear hug you from the front and try and do dips then explain why to everyone watching.
Plus, that guy looks like he could probably start cutting and tone too

It was for just photograph purposes. I think Tito(2nd guy) just wants to get bigger instead of cutting and toning up.

ok back to topic.

I do hate with this camera that i have to physically go into the menu and make sure that i am selected on the Mechanical Shutter instead of electronic when using flashes. Hot shoe will not fire flashes unless its on MS. Even in ES+MS the hotshoe won't fire.

Jay, you can assign the shutter setting as a Function button.

Go to Menu > Set-up 2 > Button/Dial Setting > Function Setting

Here, choose the button you want to assign it to and hit OK. Scroll down to Shutter Type and Press OK.

I have the same issue as you when I want to switch to ES in broad daylight to shoot at f1.2. So I went and assign the Shutter Type to my UP dial for quick access.
