Playing with the Fuji X-T1 | Eric Cote

Like I was saying in the X100T post, Fuji Canada was nice enough to lend me a couple of cameras and lenses over the Holiday season. The first thing I did was to update the X-T1 firmware to get all the new goodies. Here are my observations after using the camera for the last 3 weeks. You got to give it to Fuji, they know how to make good looking cameras. This thing is pure beauty. It is well built and feels so great in the hands. The grip is just big enough and there is a nice thumb rest for more stability. There is a control knob for everything on this camera: ISO, Shutter Speed, Exposure Compensation, Drive, Metering, AF/MF and the Aperture ring. It definitely is a photographer’s camera. A beginner might be frightened by all those controls. For a guy like me, it’s almost paradise. You build up muscle memory fast and after that, it’s a breeze to setup the exposure and shooting preferences. You almost never need to go into the menus…….
