Fujifilm X-T1 First Impressions | Matthew Maddock

Hello all!  So I’ve finally got home to the X-T1 and had a chance for some hands-on time with it.  My review will be a little while away as I like to get to use the camera properly before making any final decisions on it either way, and often certain things seem so much of an issue when you first start using a camera but fade away after use, and other things rear their heads up. These really are my very first thoughts from literally 2 days with the camera, and most of those two days trying to fit in using it around other things! Let me start with the form factor.  I have no interest in dSLR cameras any more, I love the form factor of the X-Pro1/X100S/XE cameras, this camera takes me back to the dSLR and it isn’t what I would choose personally.  It certainly isn’t as good looking as the others in the X-Series range.  My own feeling on this is that Fujifilm are trying to draw in dSLR/A7/OM-D users with this more familiar looking camera to that type of user, and they probably will achieve that here.  The X-T1 is still a little small feeling in my hands, where the X-Pro1 is just about the perfect size for me.  It is larger than the OM-D, which I just found felt like a toy in my (not that big) hands and I found it just way too awkward to use, instead of being able to use the buttons from the positions my hands were in, because the body was so small I was finding myself almost having to let go to move my fingers into the right position…..
