Conclusion

Having now fumbled my way with the Fuji X-T1 at a wedding, I have a much better understanding of the X-T1′s strengths and weaknesses as per to the context of my specific experiences and usage of camera equipment. My main gripe is with the 4-direction pad and ISO dial locking mechanism. With time, I will overcome these I suppose. I have yet to inspect the raw files. I have read that there are issues with Adobe’s rendering of  x-trans sensor RAF. I have no comment to make on this issue as of yet. I was initially underwhelmed by the Fuji X-T1. I knew it was good, I just wasn’t blown away by it. I’ve always had good cameras so my standard is very high when it comes to usability, ergonomics, and features/functions. The reason why I was a bit ‘meh’ about the X-T1 was because it met all these criteria. It was what I expected from a new camera. But if I were to take a step back and see the bigger picture, I can begin to appreciate just how much the Fuji X-series has evolved through a very short span of time. I’m not ready to say that the Fuji X-T1 is ideal for wedding photography; it is still early days. But I am happy to say that with more practice, I will get used to the quirks of the Fuji X-T1. I may make some modifications to the rear 4-direction pad. I will probably invest in faster memory cards. I also will need to wait for my XF14mm and XF56mm to arrive to do a thorough wedding test with a complete X-series camera set up. For now, I am satisfied…….
