While at the CP+ show last month, I had a chance to spend some time with engineers and product planners from Fujifilm. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics, many of which I’ll write up as separate articles. A fair bit of our time together was occupied with a presentation they gave me about some of the unique technology in their new X-T1 camera. It’s often interesting to hear what product engineers focus their energies on, and how a manufacturer decides to allocate the cost budget for a camera; there’s always competitive price pressure, so decisions to invest more in particular aspects of a camera’s operation have real consequences out in the market. Of course, any presentation like this is bound to be strong on high points, rather than any frank assessment of a product’s capabilities, but there were nonetheless a number of points that I thought would be interesting to our readers, so I’ll share some of them here. There were five primary points the engineers and product planners wanted to call attention to: The X-T1’s quiet operation, exceptional EVF, operating speed, weather resistance and WiFi connectivity.
