5 Reasons to Buy a Fujifilm X-T1 Today - An affordable gem

Still a great buy in 2023. I bought the X-T1 about a year ago. I also picked up a used X-T3 for a great deal as well. Both are wonderful cameras.

Would you recommend buying it for someone beginning In photography?

Hello, request for a hint. Sometimes I take pictures with a flash indoors and when I used an SLR I didn't have this problem and now when I have a Fuji XT1 mirrorless camera there is a problem with the dark viewfinder. In the SLR, you know what I would not set, you can always see in the viewfinder, in the mirrorless camera, the automatic selects, say, 1/10s and it's ok, but I want to use the flash in the manual, e.g. 1/100, it gets dark, how can it be avoided so that the viewfinder does not react to change the exposure relative to the one suggested by the automation?

They’re no longer “affordable”.

Your photos of the water are beautiful. I am the proud owner of an XT1. When I bought it I could not get on with my x100v anymore because the ergonomics of XT1 are so nice. Plus some images look like paintings.

thanks mattias for an other beeing good informed video

Xt1 have an xtrans2 sensor and the xpro 1 had the xtrans1 sensor

Videos like this are the reason why the camera is now selling for nearly a grand again. Good job.

i just wanted to say that it doesnt have the same sensor than the xpro1 cuz the xp1 has a x trans 1 and the xt1 has the x trans 2

Having been a pro photographer for over 20 years, having been shooting on 4x5 6x7 and varies of digital camera, i must say i just love this camera, there is something about it that I just enjoy shooting with. dont care about all the current gimmicks in a camera, The xt 1 is just pure delight and would produce amazing images in the right hands. some things are just timeless and would always be around, this model is one of them. some would call it an entry or beginners but many of us did Magazine work, ads and so on with this little beauty. and for the price one can own it now damn, its a no brainer! ..

Ha, Ricoh GR and X-T1 - the two cameras I have been using for the last 6 or 7 years for my street shooting and love both. Have been thinking recently of upgrading to X-H1 or X-T4 and maybe GRIII and keep asking myself: do I really need an upgrade???

The price is more like 400-500 in Germany

I bought two in 2022 and the output from these camera bodies are just amazing. I do not in any way regret trading my Nikon D750 for these and wish I had two more to back them up once they become inoperable. 8 years old already and they still produce outstanding images. I get better comments about photos from the Fuji's than I ever did from the Nikon and I do a lot (LOT!) less editing because the fuji sensor just delivers.

Just bought a X-T1 today, and now I’m kind of afraid that I’m not gonna use my Pentax DSLR that much anymore. Lol!

I just want to say, I’m a poor photographer but I take good pictures with the XT-1. That’s how good this camera is.

Hello to everyone . I can't decide between X-T10 and X-T20. In the country I live in, the T20 is sold for twice the price of the T10.
Is it worth paying double?

Manual lens, xt1 have a focus "motor", to use in this camera?

I use a Canon R5 and R6 for pro work and picked this up for everyday use. The build quality is just incredible. The older the Fuji the better the Jpegs nice for those times when you just want to capture memories. Could easily still be used on professional shoots no problem!

I have buy XT-1 200$, perfect!

Did I hear you say it is weatherproofed? Yes, and that is why I love it!

Honestly i feel XT-1 is one of those cameras that it doesn't take amazing pictures (reasonably so considering the age) but the user experience is top-notch.

Although your videos are always wonderful, I'm not convinced this is a very good camera -- none of the images you took on this camera have that x-factor that your other amazing photos have.

It does not have the same sensor as the X-Pro1. The X-T1 has some phase-detect points and a faster readout.

And still in 2021.

I feel like such an idiot now. I pad $685 for mine + battery grip, it's all boxed and still in original packaging with the seals intact, but still... :(

For good photography fujifilm xT1 or fujifilm X-T200

Just bought one for $260 including a flash & peak design strap 😁 can't wait to adapt my Nikon lenses.

Now I'm torn between buying the XT-1 and XT-2. Since the price now are relatively small difference.

Are there affordable lenses for this?

what about xt1 vs xt100 ? Also which speedbooster do you use for canon lenses

Im thinking of selling or swapping my xt20 for the xt1. I like my camera to be weather proofed. Is this a good choice?

which store that sells the xt-1 for $300.

X-T10 even cheaper!

Does it have ACROSS mode?

What about the lenses? Currently I'm considering switching from APS-C sony to APS-C fujifilm. But lenses cost the same or even more than sony's.

How are you adjusting RAW files of Classic Chrome on the XT-1? I have Capture One and it isn't supported.

Everything you present feels like gold. 👏🏼... Keep up the great work mate.

Great vid, Mattias. Love the colours of my X-M1 (X-Trans I sensor) and X-T1 (X-Trans II sensor) both 16MP.

This or the Nikon D700?

I just ended up buying a used X-Pro1 to try and help get through this mentally challenging time. It wasn't long ago that I upgraded from the X-T10 to the X-T30 so I really didn't need it but I am so interested in the setup of the viewfinder. After upgrading to my first camera with a touch screen I've discovered that my nose will often click the screen when the view finder is centered so I'm hoping to experiment with a different layout. Sadly the X-Pro1 is still in quarantine until my wife deems it safe for me to take it out.

I bought a mint X-T1 Graphite Silver one at the end of 2018 for 360€ as an upgrade to my X-E1, which I mainly use with legacy lenses. The EVF with its 0.77x view and improved focus assist features makes a huge difference over the X-E1 when it comes to using it with manual lenses.

I'm currently owned a canon 5d1
Should i move to fuji xt1 ?
Your video is just so so good

I love Fuji dslr it’s portable and has that film camera I love

Is a Fuji X-T1 with battery grip at 300€ a good deal please ? (it has less than 10 000 shutter count)

Great video Mattias I just bought an almost never used black XT1 for $450CAD. Love the camera I'm only concerned about the rubber grip peeling issue. I had this issue on another XT1 I bought used. Any out there with an XT1 that has their rubber grip still intact?

Everyone calls me a troll when i say that the X-T1 produces the nicest images of all X-Trans Cameras. But i know it an 16MP are enough :)

Thanks for the video. I am an XT-1 user since 2016. Recently, I am considering to upgrade to XH-1 for several reasons: (1) IBIS, (2) better resolution (3) more comfortable fit for my large hands and (4) amazing deals due to, probable, discontinuance of XH line and expectation of XT-4 with IBIS (which will leave the XH line in the shadow of the XT line). I don't do any video. The main reason I would like to upgrade the resolution is that my purpose as a hobbyist photographer is to print my photographs for my own use, preferably at A3 or A2 size. I don't know much about printing but as per my short research on the matter, it seems like the 24MP sensor gives approx 250dpi in A2 print where 16MP gives 200dpi. I am not sure how big of a deal that is but I would like to have a certain level of print quality both for my satisfaction and in case someday I would sell some of my photographs as prints. I would love to get your (and your audience's) opinion on that matter. Cheers.

The X-T1 is probably my favorite digital camera. My Nikon D700 is a workhorse that never needs charging, but the X-T1 can use any lens I own (love the Fuji 35/2 WR, but it's fun to use Pentax Auto 110 lenses and some of the stellar Takumar and Nikkor lenses) and it gives fantastic images straight out of the camera.
