Jim,Brown truck arrived and delivered the X-T1. All components were in the box. Likes and dislikes are from the first hour of getting to know the X-T1 while sitting in my office neglecting work.
What I like....
EVF is gorgeous.. the best I have ever used... an what they say is true.. you might at first think you are looking through an OVF.. not quite that good but damn! It's really good.
Tilt LCD will come in extremely handy.
Love the controls on the top of the camera: ISO, shutter speed, metering, etc. I hate digging through menus or playing with touch screens. These controls were made for photographers... or at least those of us who predate digital and smart phones.
Size.. just right for me.. I like using small cameras and this one is just right.
Build.. solid.. memory card door is not an issue.
AF.. seems snappier than that of the X-E2 and much better than X-Pro 1.
Focus Peaking colors.. could not be better.. I use red.. especially good when in B&W mode. I tried my Rokkor 58 f/1.2 and it's perfect. Also tried the Rokkor 135mm f/2.8.. even better.
What I don't like.. and it is a short list.
Buttons on 4 way controller.. same gripe as everyone else.. recessed too far into the body.
Photo review (chimp magnifier) is recessed way too far into the body.
Samples? Maybe later today or tonight if time permits. I have to pack for a trip to New Orleans.
Only regret: I wish I had known the X-T1 was on the horizon prior to buying the X-E2. I would have waited for it.
If I find any "undocumented features" (as Microsoft likes to call bugs) I will let you know.
All in all I can exhale now.. looks to be just what I hoped it would be. More later.

Looking better Jono. It was always the Fuji color that kept drawing me back to try again.Well, now I'm happier with the files (using Iridient if the jpgs aren't good enough in Aperture). Time to post some more shots.

I do just love the colour
Real Nice Lloyd!Waiting for the School Bus
Fuji X-T1, 18-55 @ f5.6. Converted in ACR 8.4, BW in PS6:
This looks familiar. XT1 should show up tomorrow - figure I'll do the experiment. I'm just following the Jono-photo-train™Well, now I'm happier with the files (using Iridient if the jpgs aren't good enough in Aperture). Time to post some more shots.
