Should I sell all my Nikon gear for a X-T1? | Ohm Image
If only I had a yen for every time this question came up in the Fujifilm SLR/X series forum at DPReview, I’d… be able to buy a chocolate bar or two. There are some good answers in the thread for anyone that looks for community consensus. My short answer: if you are shooting anything remotely action-oriented outdoors in bright sunlight, you will not be able to see your subject. Even today’s best EVFs lack the contrast and brightness necessary to stand against the sun, not to mention refresh rates that are able to obviate vertigo. If you are in a cold environment and need to change focus parameters, among other things that rely on the back panel, the X-T1 won’t cut it. It is unbelievably clumsy to use with gloves on. The rear AF button isn’t the do-all AF-ON button that it is on Canon/Nikon bodies. I am ecstatic about the X-T1. It shows Fujifilm improving on most things. But the X-T1 is in no way a replacement for a DSLR in the arenas where DSLRs reign supreme. A great mirrorless camera is still a not equal to a great DSLR of any stripe unless weight, size, lens selection (this refers to APS-C DSLRs), are the deciding factors….
