X-T1 + 56 1.2 impression from a X-E2 user | Albert on
Digital Photography Review
Got to play with X-T1 at the local Fujifilm store, together with Zeiss 12mm, Fuji 14mm, 23mm, 27mm, 35mm, 56mm 1.2 and 55-200mm lenses. Coming from X-E2 and have used XPro1/X-E1/X100, here are my impressions:
- The EVF is not as lag free as everyone was saying here. It feels about the same as X-E2. Blurring still occurs when I pan the camera horizontally. The blurring is more noticeable with wide angles lenses and less with telephoto.
- The EVF sure looks big and the uncluttered display is nice (Fuji should have done this since day one).
- The handgrip design is very nice. It feels solid and secure. I’m using the Fuji grip with X-E2 and I’m pretty sure I can skip the additional handgrip with this one.
- The EV compensation dial is not as stiff as someone was reporting here, about the same as X-E2 and I have no problem changing it with just my thumb.
- The 4-way controller is sure hard to press. The buttons are sloped/recessed towards the center which makes them harder to press compared to having flat buttons.
- The shutter dial detents do not feel quite as positively as X-E2, it has a bit of a mushy feel. Same with the dials for changing metering and drive mode.
- The tilting LCD has a solid feel.
- 8fps is fast and I can keep shooting without any slow down. With X-E2, high speed shooting slows down after a second or two.
- During the high speed shooting mode, there is no live view between frames. All I saw were 8 frames presented within the second. This is the same as X-E2.
- AF seems about as fast as X-E2. It could be a little bit faster (hard to tell), as the X-T1 seems to drive the AF motor faster.
- Shutter sound is quiet, which is the same as X-E2….
