Review on πŸ“· Fujifilm X-T1 Graphite Silver & Weather Resistant Mirrorless Camera (Body Only) - 16 MP, 3.0-Inch LCD: Ultimate Photography Powerhouse by James Cross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

EVF is dark in manual mode in low light (Can be reassigned in menu)

I really like this camera. I was debating between this or upgrading my Canon 60D to 6D. I couldn't find any negative feedback on the X-T1 and I found a lot of feedback from people who switched from 6D to X-T1. So I bought it. I haven't used my tripod since I got it. Images at ISO 3200 are very comfortable. Also 6400 is not bad if needed. The JPEGs that come out of this camera are amazing! I haven't played with RAW images much because I like what I get from JPEG. I like having the important camera settings on top of the grips. This is a very fun camera. A nice feature is the electronic viewfinder (EVF). The electronic viewfinder shows you what the exposure will look like when the picture is taken. He can see even in a very dark room. This is a nice feature as it allows you to visually set the exposure at compositing time. For me, however, it has a negative side. When using flash, sometimes I use the settings to intentionally darken the background, or I'm in a dimly lit room and need the flash. In manual mode you can see through the viewfinder what the picture would look like without the flash. As a result, my subjects are dark in the viewfinder and I can't see their facial expressions. That's the only downside I found with this camera. But it might be enough for me to get it back. I love the size of the camera and the images it produces. I would give 4 1/2 stars despite this "problem". Sometimes I feel stupid when I complain about this nonsense. The photos he takes with and without flash are excellent. The camera knows what to do with the flash without using any compensation. But I literally shoot in the dark with flash settings. Update 01/02/2015: Ok, now I think this camera is almost perfect. I found a way to turn off the manual exposure preview in the menu (Setup 1->Screen Setup->Manual Exposure Preview). This allows me to use the flash in low light and see the subject. Now I have no complaints about this camera. And I love the images that emerge. I highly recommend this camera. I have no idea if I will ever use my 60D again.
