X-StreeT1: My Fujifilm X-T1 Review | Jonas Rask
This will be somewhat different from my usual “reviews”. Well, they aren’t really reviews per se. Much more like me praising the hell out of glorious lenses and cameras. (I’m overly positive, I know!) So, on May 27th, I caved, Read more …

Fuji X-T1 Review :: Yep. It’s A Fuji | Zack Arias
I have now had the Fuji X-T1 since February of this year. I have traveled to Dubai, Morocco, Cuba, and numerous places through the US with the XT and the new 10-24mm f4, 56mm 1.2, and 27mm 2.8 pancake lenses. I’ve Read more …
Review | MHG-XT Large Hand Grip for Fuji XT-1 | Nathan Gilmer
The Fuji X-T1 is the best camera I have ever owned by far. I wrote a review of it here if you are interested. The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was the way it handled. There just wasn’t quite enough grip to feel comfortable holding it. The vertical battery grip helps and I use that when doing my professional work, but it made the camera just a little bit to big for everyday use. It somewhat defeated the purpose of owning a small camera in the first place. I had also owned the regular size hand grip for my X-Pro 1 and didn’t really like it either. It only was big enough for your pinky and ring finger and it just felt awkward. I then saw the announcement that Fuji released this new larger hand grip and it seemed like it would be exactly what I needed. I ordered it right away and after a couple of weeks of use, I can say it is perfect for me. It just feels right when holding the camera. It also seems to make my hand more vertical when holding the camera which significantly reduces wrist strain. It does make the camera a bit bigger and heavier but I don’t think that is all bad. A little bit of bulk makes the camera feel more substantial. Lenses like the 23mm and the 56mm fit perfectly while the 35mm and 18mm now seem a bit small. It also looks really good. It fits the look of the camera perfectly………

First impressions of the Fuji X-T1 | Ett Venter
From the day I fell in love with photography, I’ve been a Nikon guy. I’ve
had five Nikon DSLRs in the last 3 years (D80, D7000, D700, D3, D800) and I have an entire camera bag for my film Nikon SLR cameras as well. There’s just a beauty in the way a Nikon feels in my hands, and the images I can make with one. Then again, let’s be real – I can do exactly the same with a Canon SLR. The only real difference is that Canon cameras are ugly as hell. #ohnohedidnt A couple of months ago, Fuji dropped the X-T1. Fuji has been making waves in the photographic community for the last couple of years with their mirrorless cameras. I haven’t considered them because they were either fixed at 35mm (which isn’t my cup of tea), or they were said to be slow and clumsy (X-Pro 1 anyone?). Then the X-T1 showed up. Mirrorless, fast, interchangeable lenses, small, light, cheap, great in low light, amazing lenses, and sexy as hell. How can any photographer NOT be intrigued by such…….

Fujifilm X-T1 review | ShotKit
I didn’t fall into the Fujifilm X camera system right away. It took time and several cameras to persuade me. First, the Fujifilm X100 caught my attention. The (very) slow AutoFocus was a pity but that little gorgeous looking camera had great features and a huge potential. Then came the Fujifilm X-Pro1. Killer look, interchangeable lenses, bigger and better AF (still pretty slow at that time) but Fuji was on the right tracks. This was two years ago. Next, I had to try the Fujifilm X100s. Far better than the X100. The AF was so much better/faster. Same look, different camera. January 2014, I bought the Fujifilm X-E2. It was small, cool looking, it only had an EVF (Electronic ViewFinder), and it had faster AF. I started with personal work such as the “Lazy afternoon” series. I was so surprised by its performance that I’ve decided to take it on professional jobs. It performed like a champ every time. I was hooked!…….

Review | The Fujifilm XT-1 PART II | Leigh Miller
I get a lot of hate mail. Ok hate is a bit strong but let’s just say quite a few people have taken issue with my many declarations that the DSLR as we know it is the past. Medium format too for that matter. For the most part I ignore the rude ones and give the more reasonable of the writers a quick reply which goes something like this: GAS: Short for „Gear Acquisition Syndrome“. I used to suffer from it big time and collected more camera and lighting gear than any photographer in my position needs to have. It’s like a condom I thought…better to have one and not need it, than need it and not have one. Camera companies (mainly DSLR and Medium Format) fuel that with the old megapixel race, more and more frames per second, mega-high ISO etc. They convinced me that I needed all that stuff to be successful, or at the very least to be taken seriously as a professional photographer. Well I found out that was mostly BS…..

Olympus OM-D E-M1 vs. Fujifilm X-T1 –
A Game of Mirrorless Thrones | MirrorLessons
While Nikon and Canon are the only viable competitors for main throne of the digital photography world (at least for now), the battle for the mirrorless throne is much more fascinating. There are many kingdoms (a.k.a. brands) trying to triumph by creating new gear (sometimes too much) in a contentious territory (market). While we could argue about the presence of too many cameras today (and let’s face it, we don’t need all of them), this rise in competition that emerged a few years ago has also brought about some interesting changes. One of them is that mirrorless cameras now have a more serious role, attracting not only the amateur or the enthusiast but also the professional. Two of the most notable players in this game of mirrorless thrones are the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the Fujifilm X-T1. The first comes from a company that greatly contributed to creating the mirrorless market in the first place. The E-M1 is the result of years of experience. The company created what is probably the first fully mature mirrorless camera aimed at both enthusiasts and professional photographers. The Fujifilm X-T1 is part of a younger system that has already shown tremendous potential. The X-T1 while not perfect is the most advanced X camera to date and proof that the Fuji X system could rapidly ascend the throne. If we put these two advanced cameras face to face, only an epic battle could come of it……..
Review | The Fujifilm XT-1 | Leigh Miller
After a short rest I have finally got my user review of the Fujifilm XT-1 under-way. I apologize to all the people who have emailed me for my thoughts on the camera. It’s been a perfect storm…pardon the pun. Busy work schedule combined with the weird weather, the lighting hasn’t exactly been attractive for any shutter therapy. It’s clear skies for a day or two, quickly followed by haze and rain. I took it with me to The Bahamas where I figured I could take the weather variable out of the equation. Well If you live on the East Coast or the Caribbean you already know how well that plan turned out. Hurricane Arthur brushed across the region making everything dark and wet for a few days. The sun came out enough for a great time and some cool pictures…….
