Fujifilm X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition (pre-production) Review |
Michael R. Cruz

The main difference with this camera is the color, in Fujfilm film terms, it is graphite silver.  To me it looks a bit like that gun metal finish which is very popular in car rims/wheels.  I have to admit, if I haven’t own the black X-T1, I would definitely go with this one.  I might even sell my black X-T1 and get this one, that’s how much I like the Graphite Silver, but that’s purely subjective.   This color is so much sleeker and it gives the X-T1 a more retro look.  I felt like the black one is not “retro” enough, compared to X-Pro1 or X100s, but the “graphite silver” color gives the X-T1 that retro kick it lacks.  To me, it is gorgeous!  I was never a fan of how the X-T1 look/form, I much prefer the rangefinder style, but I think, the Graphite Edition changed that. Upon using the X-T1 Graphite Silver, I immediately noticed the directional pads at the back of the camera.  It is definitely better than the black X-T1 that I have.  It is more tactile and it gives that satisfying click that I want, none of that mushy buttons like the older X-T1 has……
