Classic SLR Design. The X-T1 is all digital, but features all the controls and dials you’d find on a classic film SLR for a fully manual experience. For those who don’t want quite that much control, there’s aperture and shutter priority, and full auto modes. The X-T1 features a centered EVF similar to an DSLR, rather than the rangefinder-offset EVF found on its brother, the X-E2.

16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor. The X-T1 uses same sensor from the X-E2 and X100s, providing high-resolution images with stellar low-light performance. The on-sensor phase-detection autofocus system provides fast performance with tracking ability to boot. It offers a maximum of 8 fps continuous shooting for up to 47 frames. The normal sensitivity range spans ISO 100-51,200 and actually produces usable results at those sensitivities.

Best-In-Class Electronic Viewfinder. The X-T1 boasts a 0.77x viewfinder—the largest on a digital camera at the time of its release. In addition to the standard full EVF, it has a clever side-by-side dual mode for manual focusing, and the Digital Split Image technology seen in the previous-generation cameras. There’s also a large 3.0-inch tilting rear LCD for image composition and review.

Full HD Movie Recording. It’s no surprise that the X-T1 features Full HD 1080p video recording at up to 60 fps. Key video features include full-time autofocus tracking during recording, +/- 2 EV exposure compensation, Film Simulation settings, and a 2.5mm external mic input.

Wi-Fi and Other Notable Features. You can wirelessly trigger and transmit images using a smart device and the free Fujifilm Camera App, and you can also automatically back up of images to a connected computer. The great Film Simulation modes are there for those who have a preferred film signature. If art modes are your thing, there’s a variety to choose from. The X-T1 has an integrated intervalometer for time-lapse creation, and a removable accessory flash for quick fill. The camera records images to SDHC/XC memory cards and is rated for about 350 shots per charge using the rechargeable battery.
