Just fantastic. If you're looking at this camera then you've probably already done tons of research, so I'll just leave bullet points. I've only had this for 4 days, but have spent about 35 hours with it by now and feel like I know it pretty well!
Pros -
- It's TINY. I was expecting it to be bigger, but it's barely bigger than the X-E1/X-E2.
- Fits in the hand beautifully. Fuji have put a rubber "nub" on the rear top right corner, and it's perfect for one-handed shooting.
- The knobs on top are great, everything is intuitive. I actually bought the Nikon Df in December and returned it after a couple of weeks, it never became intuitive. The only thing I would change is not having to press the button in when changing ISO every time.
- Rear screen is big and bright. Seen many comments saying it should be a touchscreen (it shouldn't) and it should flip sideways (it shouldn't) - touchscreens should stay far, far away from cameras!
- Build quality is ace. Feels rock solid, but weighs practically nothing.
- SD card slot is on the side, helps with not having to take off tripod to change card.
- OHMYGOODNESS THE EVF! I've never been a fan of EVFs, but this is incredible. The first day I shot with it, I loved it, but I knew I needed to wait until shooting at night until I got the full picture - it was fantastic. Helped me see things in the dark that I never would with an OVF, it's going to change the way I shoot night photography. Being able to see exposure and WB changes in the viewfinder before shooting is fantastic - and the auto-rotation when shooting vertical is genius.
Cons -
- the buttons are just a tiny bit TOO indented on the rear of the camera. I'm sure there's a reason for this - weather-proofing maybe, or maybe during testing having looser buttons resulted in too high an occurrence of accidental button pushes, I don't know - but they're a little too indented for me.
- battery life, but if they'd have used a bigger battery they'd have had a bigger camera.
- no 2nd memory card slot, but same as above - would have resulted in a bigger camera.
That's it. I absolutely love it. I've got a couple of Nikon D800s (always been a Nikon guy), a Mamiya RZ67ProII, a Rollei - but I'll shoot more frames with this camera than I will with almost all of them combined this year. Fuji is doing incredible things - if they can add to their speedlight options they're going to have the perfect setup.
And seriously, this price is phenomenal for the camera. You won't regret it! (But get the body only - the kit lens is really good, but the primes are breathtakingly good.)

I wont bother with image quality, it is the same as the XE-2, basically the same as the Xpro-1. This is a hit or miss with some people, i wont waste any time as this is not what makes this camera unique in Fuji's lineup. Read any Fuji X-trans review for image quality. All I will say is it is top notch.
I have been shooting with the XE-1 and OMD EM-5 for the last year or so. I primarily do timelapse photography which is comparable to landscape photography, also studio plant timelapse and macro work. General photography is a hobby of mine. I am not a professional photographer but do use photography professionally, if that makes sense. I moved from Nikon pro gear to mirrorless cameras to save weight for extended hikes to remote areas.
the XT-1 is about as perfect as a camera (for my purposes) as i have ever found, it certainly sets a new bench mark.
I doubt I will be using my XE-1 much at all for general photography. I have had this love hate relationship between the OMD and the XE-1. I liked the output of the XE-1, but found the AF to be terrible, the EVF was decent, but nothing to scream about. Everything the XE-1 did poorly the OMD excelled at, everything the OMD fell short in the XE-1 excelled in.
The XT-1 is so much faster in operation than the XE-1. the AF is very fast, it seems to be very accurate. Compared to any other mirrorless camera on the market the AF-C tracks like a bloodhound. Which to say it is about as good as a prosumer level DSLR. The viewfinder is not only usable, it is darn good.
I think the XT-1's EVF is probably the first one that really starts to threaten the OVF. Looking through this one, I would suspect the EVF is only 2 maybe 3 small generations to outperforming an OVF in every way imaginable. Not quite there yet, but that gap between the XE-1 EVF and a solid 100% view pentaprism OVF just got a lot smaller. And dont worry, the EVF future is looking incredible! There is NO percieveable lag in the viewfinder, I would suspect the lag is insignificant compared to the average persons response time. meaning, you wont lose the shot due to lag, even in low light scenarios.
For the build quality, i would say using a DSLR comparison it would be like a D800 vs a D7x00 series. Or a 5Dmk3 vs a 60D. Where you pick it up and are somehow immediately able to recognize it as something that is very well crafted and designed, and that it is a thing if quality. The knobs feel fantastic, the textured faux leather is far nicer than the XE-1's, it feels like it was machined out of a solid piece. Even the LCD screen feels solid and confidant. That is how the XT-1 not only feels compared to the XE-1, but it also looks that way too. I'm not 100% how to describe it, but I'm sure everyone understands exactly what I am talking about. This is a serious camera, I have owned and enjoyed the Fuji XE-1, first gen Olympus Pen, Olympus OMD, Sony NEX-3, Sony NEX-5N, and Nikon J1, I have handled the NEX6, and NEX7. I liked all those cameras, they all had thier strengths and weaknesses, however this is the first mirrorless camera I have ever held that feels like a professional grade tool. It looks great in the pictures, it looks and feels amazing in your hand. I would be wary of the opinion of anybody who says this is anything but a solidly constructed tool.
well, except for the side door which feel as cheap as ever. and the unlock buttons on the dials are"ok". And of course, the rear buttons sure are flush. so its not all puppies and sunshine, but those seem awfully insignificant in the long run (to me at least).
The flash they give in, well, i havent used it yet, and i probably wont. But it feels nicer than the clip on flash that came with the NEX3, NEX5, and OMD, which all felt like junk to me.
(I have not used or tested the SONY A7(r) or A6000, Olympus OMD EM-1. Sony and Olympus both make fantastic gear, i love all brands, my raving about the XT-1 should not be viewed as an attack on these fantastic cameras, to be honest though, I have yet to hold a mirrorless camera from ANY brand that feels as good as this)
This is NOT a light camera. For some reason everyone seems way too zoned in on the fact a camera CAN be smaller when mirrorless, and yes, it can, but I would think the larger benefit is the ability to go with smaller lens elements, reducing the cost for high quality lenses. I mean come on, we are all adults here, garbage in, garbage out. That is what lured me into the Fuji system is the excellent optics, the 35 1.4 is every bit as sharp as the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 which i owned for years, but costs a fraction of the price (different lens different purposes i know, but the idea remains the same). I cant say enough about the Fuji lenses that i have used. Currently my lineup includes the 18-55 (best kit lens ever made period) the 35mm f/1.4, and the 14mm f/2.8. All three of these lenses have strong reputations for a very good reason.
Im handling mine right now with the 14 f/2.8 and i tell ya what, I cant imagine this was any lighter than my D7000 and the 35mm 1.4 lens. This is NOT a pocketable camera. Even with a pancake lens, unless you have comically large pants with giant pockets full of ipads and animals.
As for customization, that can all be found online as well. You can customize the crap out of this camera. The manual focus assist options are fantastic, the response time is near instant, the back LCD looks fantastic, and the Wifi works like a champ. Where as the first Fujis were a bit limited in options and gimmicks, this thing has the whole catalog and more. And the best part is if you dont like that junk, and just want to use it as a manual camera, well, go ahead. None of that stuff gets in the way. This camera can be as basic, or as advanced as YOU wish. It is a camera that easily molds itself to your style of shooting.
As for the XE-1, it will probably be kept as a backup camera, but live most of its life on one of my motion controlled time lapse rigs with my OMD. I just got the parts to build out a battery adapter so i can run it with large capacity batteries for extended timelapse in the field, or plug it into the wall if needed.
This is hands down the best mirrorless camera i have ever held. (as mentioned before, i have NOT used the Sony A7(r), A6000 or the new OMD Em-1 all of which seem to draw most comparisons)

Having had many a pro DSLR camera body and lenses as well as a complete Micro 4/3rd system over the last 5 years (EM1 Olympus) I fully understand the compromises that can come from a "non" DSLR system. Slower focus, lessor color depth, slower shooting ability, poorer build quality, and the list goes on
Now having said that I sold ALL my camera gear off in the anticipation of this camera and lens system. I researched till I could no longer find a competent review and photo taken with this amazing X-Trans sensor. After a week of ownership I can say without hesitation THIS is the camera that will set some benchmarks after time. The Sony A7's get their accolades, but the Fuji's present something "different" intrinsic to the photographic picture. A nearly 3D look to their files that can hardly be explained. Their colors are simply yummy and are so pleasant to see. The files are also virtually devoid of ANY sensor noise or artifacts. Sony has noise reduction built in and compression you can NOT turn off. The Micro 4/3rd bodies unfortunately possess noise at ALL ISO sensitivities. This camera I can shoot right up to ISO6400 and see nearly NOTHING noise oriented 100% on screen. There is NO noise or artifacts in the blue sky shots.
Moving along to the other aspects that are amazing. This camera is fully capable of 8fps while focusing continuously. And frankly having owned a venerable D700 full frame Nikon, this camera will keep right up with it in the tracking arena. Even just spur of the moment mashing of the shutter button will render you an IN focus shot, so being spontaneous is rewarded. The build is rock solid and the switches are very tight and are not likely to be mistakenly moved. Even the back "D" pad of 4 buttons won't work by accident, you have to purposely push them. No surprises in that area with this camera. It even comes with a competent fill flash you can snap onto the hot shoe. Surprisingly it is quite powerful and will provide plenty of flash power for an average room.
Now to the LCD and the Viewfinder, which is a HUGE (largest view on the market) OLED with rich brightness and color, suitable for eyeglass and non eyeglass wearers alike. It is configurable so as to see a 100% view across from one side to the other, looking more like an IMAX theater than a standard movie screen. It has a unique split screen mode for manual focus providing a 100% view on the right and showing where in the shot it is showing in that box, allowing for pinpoint precision manual focusing. I've found the battery life to be quite surprising. I charged up on Thursday and now its Monday and I'm still shooting. It is highly configurable in general to one's specific needs with many custom function buttons you can set to what you want. ALL of the Fuji lenses are like top line quality found in the Canon L or Nikkor pro series at half the price in some cases. Sharp corner to corner with large apertures available. I use the kit 18-55 but don't be fooled, this is a "PRO" lens all the way in build and performance. I also recommend the 23mm f1.4 for outdoor and indoor walk around shooting with great subject isolation capabilites. Lastly one of my favorites and a Must Have. The 55-200. Built like a tank, still lightweight and solid and super sharp and fast to focus. This system is a amazing photographic tool. Don't miss out on not having it.
