Fujifilm's the latest manufacturer to turn one of its flagship cameras into one capable of infrared vision.
Expert review by : Wired (wired.com)
Most mirrorless cameras are happy being smaller, beginner-friendly, somewhat less-capable alternatives to DSLRs. But the Fujifilm X-T1 has a different goal in mind: It's built to replace a DSLR camera entirely. Indeed, it's hard to think of a camera...
Great image quality with natural colors and skin tones. Weatherproof body with quick access to practically every setting. Excellent eye-level viewfinder and manual-focus helpers. Fast autofocus and peppy continuous-shooting mode. In-camera...
Battery life is only OK. No built-in flash (but it does come with a little detachable one). Steep learning curve for novices. Expensive for its sensor size

The Fujifilm X-T1 is a terrific mirrorless camera, and the best one you'll find in the X system.

This is how you make a mirrorless camera
Compact design ; Great controls ; Exceptional viewfinder ; Great image quality
Poor battery life ; Some fiddly buttons ; Limited video options
Expert review by : Lori Grunin (cnet.com)
With a great viewfinder, speedy burst and excellent photo quality, the camera really impresses. But there are some irksome quirks.
The stunning viewfinder, comfy grip and plethora of direct controls makes the ; a joy to shoot with, plus the image quality is great and the continuous-shooting is among the best in its class.
Some of the controls are too hard to manipulate, its general performance doesn't stand out, and the movie quality disappoints.
The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for advanced photographers as long as its quirks don't bother you.

The X-T1 delivers excellent photo quality. While the innards are similar to the X-E2, there are some differences. New, lower-noise circuitry has allowed Fujifilm to bump the maximum sensitivity to ISO 51200 up from ISO 25600. However, I really didn't...

The X-T1 is probably Fujifilm's best camera to date, offering a compelling combination of intuitive handling, excellent image quality, and one of best electronic viewfinders we've seen. It also features one of the most impressive autofocus systems on...
Analogue dials and switches provide engaging shooting experience, Superb, huge high resolution electronic viewfinder gives generally-accurate preview of image, Excellent image quality at both Low and High ISOs, Very attractive JPEG colour rendition,...
Rear buttons are small, and almost flush to camera body, Four-way controller is rather 'spongey' in feel, Awkwardly positioned, locking ISO dial is inconvenient (especially with large lenses), Raw files not recorded when ISO dial set to 'L', 'H1' and...

The Fujifilm X-T1 is one of the more interesting mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras you're going to find on the market currently. Its design contains a classic combination of dials and buttons that will remind you of an SLR film camera. The X-T1's...
Outstanding image quality ; Good low light performance with minimal noise at mid- to high-ISO settings ; Can shoot in RAW format ; Intriguing design with plenty of all-metal dials and buttons ; One of the best electronic viewfinders in any camera ;...
Design can take some practice to learn to use efficiently for less experienced photographers ; Some of the dials are difficult to access because of stacked design ; X-T1 doesn't use traditional shooting modes, which can be confusing for less...
