FujiFilm X-T1 Interchangeable Lens Camera

FUJIFILM X-T1 Interchangeable Lens Camera

FujiFilm just announced the $1300 X-T1, a weather-resistant premium interchangeable lens camera with a large OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) that delivers a near-instant image preview, the latest generation 16.3 Megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor and the segment’s fastest autofocus in 0.08 seconds with built in phase detection. The camera offers a super-fast 0.5 second start-up time, along with a 0.05 second shutter time lag and a 0.5 second shooting interval.

The X-T1 can also shoot up to 8 frames per second with tracking AF and is the first-ever CSC to be compatible with SDXC UHS-II format memory cards for data writing speed (in Continuous Mode) that is approximately twice that of a conventional SD card.

The FujiFilm X-T1 is the first weather-resistant X-Series CSC (when used with a weather-resistant lens) that performs in a wide range of challenging environments. The X-T1 uses more than 75 points of weather sealing, and the camera body is dust-resistant and water-resistant. The X-T1 is also freezeproof to -14°F for full-fledged field photography work, while the premium clear 3″ LCD screen with 1.04 million dot resolution is made of tempered glass for additional outdoor protection. The optional vertical battery grip (VG-XT1) has the same hardy structure as the X-T1, so when added to the body, it is completely secured against the elements.

The FujiFilm X-T1 combines a unique wide-angle 2.36m dot resolution OLED viewfinder with the world’s highest magnification (0.77x) for a digital camera and shortest display lag-time of just 0.005sec. The X-T1’s viewfinder uses a newly designed Graphic User Interface that provides anexciting shooting experience with clear details and a comfortable at-a-glance view of your settings.

With five mechanical dials on the top-plate, two command dials; one on the front and one on the rear,and six fully customizable function buttons, the FujiFilm X-T1 has a class photographic feel. The top-plate includes two machined-aluminum double-deck dials for the shutter speed and metering, and the ISO sensitivity and drive modes, and each is designed to turn with a reassuring click, while their textured surfaces gives a firm confirmation when setting up a shot.

The X-T1 one-touch WiFi connectivity lets you easily share images to your smartphone or tablet – pictures that these devices cannot capture – and remote shooting via smartphone or tablet using theFujifilm Camera Remote app for unique capture opportunities.

The X-T1 has four OLED EVF Display Modes:

  1. FULL” mode takes full advantage of the high magnification ratio of the X-T1’s viewfinder to give an unrivalled view of the scene
  2. NORMAL” provides an optimum view, including shooting settings
  3. DUAL” is specially designed for manual focusing with a clever split view. The regular view and manual focus area can be simultaneously checked (with Digital Split Image or Focus Peak Highlight)
  4. PORTRAIT” view in “NORMAL” and “FULL” modes automatically rotates the displayed information when the camera is held vertically

With their exposure values clearly marked, the X-T1’s settings can be checked at a glance without using the rear LCD and the dials are perfectly arranged so that functions can be changed without removing your eye from the viewfinder. The six customizable function buttons and two command-dials arranged on the front and rear complete the picture, ensuring instant setting satisfaction.

The FUJIFILM X-T1 uses the same FUJIFILM X-Mount as the X-Pro1, X-E2, X-E1, X-M1 and X-A1, and all FUJIFILM XF and XC lenses work with all X-Series interchangeable lens cameras.
