Fujifilm X-T1

I've lost interest in the X100s due to its tiny buttons, etc. I much prefer the back of the interchangable lens models. I've been using the Ricoh GR and the X-Pro1 together mostly.
 
Basically, this would be the perfect camera for me if it was full frame and had a mirror/OVF and no EVF.


Edit: oh and with the the exposure comp dial gotten rid of, and the rear LCD either rotatable (so it can be flipped backwards and stowed) or gotten rid of it altogether.
 
If you're selling Pentax MX sized, full frame, digital SLRs with appropriate manual dials on the top deck, sign me up.
 
I cant help it, but the Photographers in Action is complete failure.
From the five photographers so far only Mr. Subrotos photos are good.
It seems like those photographers has just couple of hours with the camera. I do believe that many rff members would do better with the camera.
(And I am not mentioning two formal mistakes in photographers presentations: there is no Mr. Subrotos short bio as for the other photographers and Mr. Wojtczak was, according to the introduction, using Fujifilm X-Pro1. Sorry, professional deformation :D )

 
How well will the X-T1 work with M-lenses? Think there will be a significant improvement over the X-E2 and X-E1? I'm not averse to using the Fuji lenses, but I have 5 M-lenses I wouldn't mind adapting to the X-T1.
 
I really like the ISO wheel. Put it on every serious camera, please.

Of course, I do find something to complain even about that. The high-ISO settings are user configurable and - here's the problem - JPEG only. Why is the customization then limited to actual high-ISO values (12800-51600)? If these are JPEG only (I assume the camera therefore switches to JPEG, when a high-ISO setting is selected), you would implement a sweet shortcut to a user-defined JPEG look by allowing any ISO+JPEG combination via these settings. Never leave configurability half way like this.

I don't really understand what you are saying.

At very high ISO settings (differing from brand to brand) the electronic amplification of the analog signal leaving the sensor degrades IQ. At this point further brightness (to match the meter's prediction) is achieved in-camera using digital multiplication after the data leaves the ADC. This is common throughout most brands.

If you use raw only, similar digital multiplication is achieved in the post-processing rendering software.

In-camera JPEG rendering parameters can be customized at any ISO in existing X series cameras. This is also true for raw + JPEG mode.

What can't be customized with the XT-1?

Any improvement will be due to the improved viewfinder and the new focus aid (which the x-e2 will probably get in the next update), it seems to have the same sensor as the x-e2, so no IQ difference.

Well it's not silly optimism to assume adapted lenses will be easier to use.

The finder is much bigger and its performance is improved.

There is a dual display mode option where the "live" view of the whole frame is on the left and a zoomed spit-screen focus aid is displayed seperately on the right side.

Focus peaking now has some color choices.
 
The Fuji Guys have the fist of three videos up on YouTube now giving you a rundown of the features of this new camera. Check it out on YouTube.
 
I am not in the market for it but I have to say it seems like a great camera. The dual screen display is a nice touch. It looks like it gives you the full view plus a smaller view that can be zoomed in split focus or zoomed in focus peaking. The smaller screen is in black and white, which should help with focus peaking since you can now select blue or red for the peaking.
