Earlier this week I had a chance to touch, taste, smell, and feel the new Fujifilm X-T1. I’m trying to lighten my load of camera gear. My Canon 5DMIIs are just too heavy for me. They pack weight when traveling. I’m a small guy so I can’t carry much with me. I was hoping to switch over completely to Fujifilm with this camera (I do own a x100s). My first impressions of the Fujifilm X-T1 tested with the 18-55mm F2.8-4 and 35mm F1.4 are the following:
 

• Much lighter than my Canon 5DMIIs!
• The grip feels solid.
• The EVF magnification is amazing.
• Auto focus works like a charm. Much faster than my x100s.
• I don’t like the lock on the ISO dial. That should be on the exposure compensation dial.
• The focus assist button in the back can be accidentally be pressed. It’s not one of the customizable programable buttons.
• Couldn’t get the Fujifilm app to work with the iPad.

One thing still in question: is cable tethering an ability of the X-T1?…..
