Conclusion

The elephant in the room is that it’s not full-frame. At this point, one has to wonder if Fujifilm ever intends on making a full-frame sensor. Personally, I’d speculate that given the X-T1 obvious advantages and similarities to the X-Pro1 (OVF aside), that the only way they make an X-Pro2 — that would be expected to sell, that is — is if it’s full-frame… which is impossible to do with the current X mount. My bet — pure speculation — is that we see a full frame X200 35mm f/2.8 first, but no X-Mount full-frame for at least 4-5 years, with a slew of new lenses, the most desirable of which we’ll need to wait 2 years before getting our mitts on…  **cough cough** 56mm. Am I excited for the X-T1? Yes. Very. The advancements in the viewfinder’s user interface alone have me more than excited. Besides, this camera just looks good — and I know that’s a hipster point of view, but find me someone who uses a camera they don’t on some level enjoy the aesthetics of? You can’t. Do you think Leicas would be anywhere near as popular if they were shaped like an old shoe and painted neon green?……
