From my time handling the X-T1 a few days ago I can say the EVF is the best I have ever seen. On top of putting what is proabably the best and biggest EVF ever to grace a camera Fuji also put a lot of thought into how you can make it work for you.Yeah, I think the most important aspect of the X-T1 is not the image quality since it has basically the same 16mp xtrans sensor as the other Fujis. What matters most with the X-T1 is its functionality. Mainly the AF performance (speed/accuracy/response), viewfinder and controls/features. That's what I want to know about.
Me too. DPR always seems to have terrible sample images.I'm buying the X-T1 in spite of these awful snap shots.

Is it no longer possible to change the iso via a Q button or setup menu? like on the X-E1 or 2? Only via the dial. If so I agree with you on workflow as I there are times I want to change it pretty fast.My absolutely only concern with the design is the locking ISO dial. They maybe should have thought that thru a little more. Back in the film SLR you simply set your ASA dial and left it there for the whole roll of film, unless you were jacking about with exposure. But on a modern digital I change ISO all the time. I expressed this concern to the Fuji rep and he recommended I simply use the Auto ISO function. I have never been a big fan of Auto ISO but he explained the you can greatly tailor the Auto ISO to respond exactly how you want by setting a lot of its parameters to your liking. Tell it you dont want to go below a certain shutter speed or over a max ISO and such like. I think you can almost use it like an ISO priority mode. I didnt play with that function when I had the camera so it will bear some more fiddling with to see how it is actually implemented.
One feature the Fuji Rep showed me was the app you can download to your tablet or phone. You simply turn the WiFi on the camera ON and then find it on your mobile device. Once your connected you go to your Fuji app and it will show you a real time view of what the camera sees. You can touch the image to auto focus and change aperture and shutter speed and exposure comp right there on your device. He demoed it for me by giving the X-T1 to another rep and had him walk around the store while we viewed the image coming from the camera on the first Reps tablet. He told the other guy with the camera to stop and point the X-T1 at a wall of old cameras and he then focused on one on the tablet and took a picture. I heard the faint 'click' of the shutter from where the other guy had the camera. Impressive little feature to say the least.
really nice. And weather sealing on top of it all with the new lenses??
Sold.
I take it you are doing some decent sized prints then (as 16MP is more than enough for web publishing). Therefore, what's your view on required resolution for printing as I'm wondering similar?Thanks for info. The X-T1 shows what all DSLRs should become. Wow. I wish it had a sensor with more resolution though.
:thumbs: ditto.I'm buying the X-T1 in spite of these awful snap shots.
16MP by itself won't print very large, at least in my experience. One of the reasons I started using the Zork adapter on my 1ds MKII back in 2004, was I wanted more resolution so I could create larger prints without having to interpolate/uprez.I take it you are doing some decent sized prints then (as 16MP is more than enough for web publishing).
