Fujifilm X-T1

Is it my understanding that this camera will also have the X-Trans sensor (part deux :) ) ?

How much different is the II from the original X-Trans?

Cheers,
Dave
 
wow, i'm pleasantly surprised. the prism reminds me more of the canon f-1n with ae finder and the praktica bc1, some of my favorites, except with beveled edges.

dial arrangement looks good. there's something pentaxian about it all. i want to see what the levers under the shutter speed and iso dials control. maybe drive mode and white balance?

So you think Fuji saw the Sony and then the Nikon and quickly hammered a similar camera together?

I think this camera, like the Sony, Nikon and Oly offerings took many months to create.

And mind you, I'm also a big Olympus fan

As old dad used to say: "The boy wasn't happy unless he was miserable."
 
fuji saw the success of Om-d and followed. at the same time it copied some over sized dials from Nikon DF

is there anything to be happy about?

AFAIK the only difference is on-sensor phase detection.

Ahh.. ok.

I do wish they would do something else with the sensor - but that's my own issue - I think they're doing good things with their designs and I bet this camera will bring some more to the Fuji fold.

I have not looked at the Olympus models but I have tried the m4/3 stuff some time ago - I just couldn't handle my old lenses on it. It's probably perfectly fine with the m4/3 lenses.

The ideal, at least for me, is still, right now, the Sony - exciting times though for all the mirrorless folks :)

Cheers,
Dave

That depends on what makes you happy - this likely doesn't; and that's fine. I'm sure something will someday soon :)

More leaked pics

Plus rumor update on specs. Price could be as high as 1800. Evf mag is bigger then em1. More pics, front rear and top plate. Shows a flip LCD. I really like the layout of the controls.

My Nikon speedbooster may have found a better home. :D. But probably going to wait a while before I get it.

Am I seeing dual card slots? Contacts for a battery grip? Is this a camera after the semi-professional market? This looks pretty amazing. But to be honest, I really dislike articulating screens.
 
i'm not a fan of tilting screens, either. when you tilt it up for waistlevel viewing, the evf blocks the screen a little (pretty much the only purpose of the tilting evf on the panasonic gx7, lol).

other than that, the back of the camera is great.

Maybe it's always been this way, but why do people want a new camera with minor, evolutionary changes, every year? People quote "specs" and such, and play right into the consumerism that runs the world's economies. Moore's Law is great and all, but it implies you have to stay on the buying train with computers, each year getting the slightly faster one, with slightly more memory and hard drives. The same with digital cameras for 20 years. "Buy, buy, buy, mine is 8MP, mine is 12MP, the new one is BLACK! The newer one is GREY! The newer one has "Organic Sensor!" The new one looks retro!

Our fathers and grandfathers didn't buy 5 cameras, and get a new one every few months, and spend hours on forums discussing every little problem or niggle of every design, even the ones they didn't buy. They bought a Canon P or Leica IIIC or Argus in 1950, and kept it until they died. Today, tomorrow, and probably for years ahead I'm going to shoot my "OLD" XE-1!

In my dad's case, he bought a Konica camera at the Post Exchange in Japan sometime in 1949 or 1950. I still have it. I still use it. The rangefinder/viewfinder is a match for my mint condition Leica M5. The Hexar 50mm/3.5 lens is a joy to use. The leaf shutter is silent. Literally. Silent. Even quieter than the leaf shutters in my large format lenses.
When something is right, you stay with it.

The back end is nicely uncluttered.
Tilt screens are wonderful if you do table-top shooting.

EDIT: I'm thinking that Fujifilm listened to more Nikon customers than Nikon did !!

perfect sentiment. folks can talk themselves into anything. all the same folks who just a month ago decried 'slr' vs 'rf' styling in the sony A7s and the nikon df suddenly think its now awesome. and they can still find much fault with those cameras, even though both were actually groundbreaking in their own ways. didnt like only an evf in the sonys and didnt like the ovf in the nikon; sonys too small nikons too big; sonys dont have manual controls nikons manual controls arent any good; sonys dont have enough lenses nikons lenses are too big; but whatever this fuji is should be great! go figure. unless its FF with an ovf and has a different sensor, its really a big yawn. where is the company that put out the original x100 and xp1?
 
I like flip LCD when u shoot low angle shots such as for macro work or for shooting over a crowd. I like that it appears that the screen can be flipped around in protect LCD mode when not needed.

And then there are those if us who still use both types of camera bodies as well as csc ones. What is wrong w/ that?
