I had the XT1. Then the XT2 came. I immediately said that the XT2 no longer generates photos as beautiful as the XT1. The whole internet laughed at me for it, I had no idea. But I also bought the XT3. This disappointed me bitterly. The XT1 is still the best Fujifilm APSC camera ...
Here's what I found interesting is that recently I put together a portfolio for a local newspaper that hired me. When I put the portfolio together, about 90% of the photos were with the XT1. So I'm not going to come out and say "wow, this is magic," but I can say were there such a thing as having mojo, this camera has it.
I just recently got the xt-10 (same sensor, cheaper camera) and I am absolutely in love with it, the images out of this sensor are wonderful, its always with me when I leave my door, and I love the actual act of photography with it, absolutely agree with you on the sensor
A few weeks ago I watched your X-T1 + 16mm F2.8 video. I immediately ordered both the camera and the lens. After watching this I might have to buy a backup X-T1. Just in case! Your pictures from this camera are superb. You and the X-T1 were meant for each other; a marriage made in camera heaven. Your affection for the X-T1 is infectious. Thank goodness you’re not into Leicas, because I’d never be able to afford to watch your videos.
Just bought one back in January for €300 and am having a blast with it. All the dials being available makes you way more likely to experiment. Even the grain when shooting with a high ISO and/or cropping in looks quite stylised and pleasant.
Absolutely agree on every point here. The XT1 is like holding an old Pentax MX it just sits in the hand its knobs are like cameras once were. Photography becomes a physical action once again.
Dude, your photos are so beautiful. I want to capture these family moments with my family and print them for my son. When he is older i can give him a whole album of our lives up to that point.
This review was the deciding factor in buying the X-T1...and I have to say, the color, quality of images out of this camera is more preferred than my X-T4. Love your passion - it's quite inspiring
I’m with you on this one, my Xt-1 was my first foray into the Fuji x series. I also bought a second hand, like new, xt-2 last year following the ditching of the weighty full frame Nikon gear. They are fantastic cameras and a joy to use. My xt-1 reminded me so much of the Yashica SLR film camera I started off with in the early 1980s; so I’ve gone full circle!
I totally agree about the better image quality of the x trans 2 sensor. It still produces the cinematic look like the xtrans 1 sensor had. In these days lot 's of people raved about Fujifilm 's cinematic look of it 's JPEG's. Fuji even advertised this cinematic look. With the x trans 3 sensor that cinematic look disapeared. The black tones with the xt 2 are more pronounced than with the xt 1, giving the overal picture are darker , less vibrant look. Today no one talks about the cinematic atmosphere of Fujifilm anymore, because it 's gone...
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I've been shooting film for almost 3 years then started working at a camera store and began considering a jump into the digital age. I just bought a used XT1 that we've had for ages and something about it just feels right. Most of my coworkers were trying to convince me to get other things, but one of the guys lent me his XT1 and the more I played with it, the more I loved it. This is my first digital in 15 years and it feels like the perfect camera to jump back in with.
In 2019 I wanted to buy a used Fuji, but I couldn't find any. Few months later went to buy an extra battery for my nikon and found the shop had a used XT1. Bought it for 25,000 indian RS. Which is like 335 USD. Including a 18-55mm lens. No one believes I got it for this cheap.
