Fujifilm X-T1 Review: The RAF | Daniel k Cheung

I have since moved on from the Fujifilm X-T1 for my professional work. You can read my reasons in an earlier blog post. Despite my transition away from the X-T1, I wish to make it clear that I continue to rate the X-T1 as a fantastic camera. It most certainly is appropriate for professional work. The caveat however is knowing the limitations of the X-T1 and working around them. For the record, my XF14, XF23, XF35 and XF56 have all been sharp. In fact, my main critique of the Fujifilm system is not of Fujinon, but rather the AF technology of Fujifilm’s mirrorless cameras … I am a big fan of shooting in raw format for my kind of work (namely preweddings and wedding days). I do not have time (nor the skill) to adjust for changing ambient light colour casts. I also tend to leave my white balance on daylight for most of the time (unless there is strong tungsten or fluro light). Then there is the issue of dynamic range. It is not possible to pull detail from a compressed jpeg. I was never formally trained in photography. I learnt from looking at the back of the screen and in Lightroom. Sure, one can nail the shot every single time but really? Really? Every. Single. Time?  Not me. Hence raw…….
