Fun fact about the X-T1: If you put it in electronic shutter mode with a relatively fast exposure, you can twist/jerk the camera for creative effects with the rolling shutter. If you have one (or a similar older-generation Fuji), I recommend playing around with it. More modern cameras read out the sensor too fast to do that anymore.
Особенно сильно этот эффект проявляется, когда фотографируешь в окно из автомобиля или поезда) но иногда это и мешает... Фотографируешь портрет, а лицо на снимке в 1.5 раза шире, чем на предыдущих фотографиях)
Really surprised this camera did not speak to you. I love my Fujifilm XT5, it is amazing for use with vintage glass as when combined with the film sims it is essentially the closest thing to film you can ever achieve in camera.
@unbroken1010 its about the shooting experience. Yes, there is a decades difference in technology in between, however the xt-n series is distinctly is own class of camera with features, experience and feel that belong to it, and it only in fujifilms line up, and market as a whole. Do you even watch this channel?
I still have the silver version since 2014 , I use it sparingly for portrait with 56mm f1.2 , an amazing camera till now , thank you so much for sharing this video 👌👌👌
i'm so thankful for this camera existing! it got me into photography a few years ago and i still love that thing. it belongs to my dad and i just got an x-s10 :)
Did you ever shoot with the original 35mm f1.4? It’s a truly magical lens and is the primary reason I have always returned to Fuji. There’s just something intangible about the images it produces that I’ve never found in another lens. The field curvature is wonky, the bokeh is a bit busy, it looses contrast wide open, etc. but the images are somehow special. Other favorites include the 18mm f/2, 23mm f/2 and the Zeiss 32mm f/1.8. All of the newer glass is whatever sharpness is king fodder but those old lenses were made by someone with a deep passion for photography and it’s those lenses that are what make Fuji special for me. If you haven’t tried them I would circle back to Fuji at some point and give them a spin, especially the 35mm 1.4 R.
When I end up back in Fuji land I definitely will give those a try. I've actually never shot with a Fujifilm brand lens. (well, modern, I have fujinon lenses)
@@snappiness I think they will change your mind on Fuji even if they’re a bit too modern for your typical taste. For me those lenses in particular do the one thing that I look for in any camera/lens. When I upload and open the photos the images produced put a smile on my face.
I would wholeheartedly support the 35mm f1.4 comment. It's pretty much glued to my X-T2. I have a massive pile of vintage and modern glass, including some legends, but that lens rarely comes off the camera. Yes, it sounds like a fax machine but for me, it adds to the charm.
The battery grip makes it a joy to shoot with plus gives you infinite battery. I still have my x-t1 and use my x-t2 super consistently. Have zero desire to ever upgrade the bodies they’re beautiful.
Been using an XT2 since 2016 and I feel I can reliably use it for years more since I have got few very good lenses. The whole system is really complete.
They are good fun on APSC! Can't control the aperture (as you probably already know) but wide open the center is quite sharp still and a nice vintage look to the whole deal. I love it.
I still have my xt1 as it was a wedding gift from my wife. Paired with the 18mm f2, it’s a beautiful WLF kit to walk around with. I still take it out every now and then.
Enjoyed the video. I've been wanting a Fuji for a long time, and I think 16mp is my favorite sensor size (I often pick up my K-5 over my K-3iii because I like the SOOC images better). So the X-T1 is probably the one I'll get once the price comes down enough.
X-T1 Exposure compensation is my favorite especially compared to X-T3 & 4. The punch in on Fujis is so good, glad that got highlighted. On the newer cameras it's on the dials, just feels so intuitive.
If you like that tilt screen you might love the one on the X-T2, 3 and 5. They also flip out like that, but also to the side so that you can look down at the screen when shooting in portrait orientation. This video made me a little nostalgic, I got that camera in 2015 and I loved it.
I think with so many cameras available that are perfectly good from a technical capability perspective, it is increasingly important to lean on that intangible feeling that will get you taking photos. For whatever reason, if it doesn't make you want to create, it's not right.
The X-T1 is such an amazing camera, in fact probably one of the best second hand options available, especially if you don't need the latest features. Image quality is beautiful. I will say though, if you can find one cheap, the X-T2 is also a great option to consider.
I always enjoy your reviews James. I also like how you typically adopt well used copies of older cameras. Something is usually broken, gaffer taped, or in this case has a "beautiful patina". Shopping for used gear in "poor condition" is counter to how I've typically gone about it, but recently I picked up a well-loved Olympus OMD EM5 II and it feels liberating to just chuck it in my bag without worrying about scratching the body. Well loved cameras make good friends. I'm coming around.
As long as it doesn't have broken buttons. xD I've thought to myself "of that won't bother me too much" and then get really annoyed. But if a camera is just ugly aesthetically, I'm all about that.
Sure saves you a lot. I got a 40D camera from a photojournalist and it looks like it's gone through a war.. the wear into the metal around the lug straps is like ¼" deep. And it just works. I should get a shutter count on it.. it was 30 bucks.
Love this channel. Keep up the good work. I'm an avid photographer and collector of sorts. Your channel and One Camera Two Weeks is such a positive break from the toxicity thats happening in general in the Photography communities. Not sure if it's on your horizon but the original Pentax Q camera and system is worth a look.
I got the X-T1 as my first camera in 2021. Started with the kit lens 15-45. Found the resolution to be lacking (which is probably due to the lens). Used some k mount glass from an old film SLR. When using good glass, you really see the results. After a year I think i just found EVF in general unsatisfying. Been shooting film ever since.
Agree a great camera. It is certainly a classic camera even though it doesn’t have all the latest features. Paired with the original XF 35mm f1.4R character lens makes for a perfect photography tool.
No more pixii that wasn’t mentioned in your non mirrorless cameras you stated. I’m still watching the pixii developments. You’ve given me a real appreciation of older camera gear.
You should take the plunge and get a Nikon D800. I paired mine with a Tamron 24 to 70, Sigma 35 1.4, and Nikon 85 1.8g. This is when I stopped collecting back when it came out. Prior to that, I did get this Xt1, and an Olympus OMD EM1.
I'm back to the XT1 and X70 after upgrading a few times and trying different manufacturers. XPRO2 did not like the 'pull up' ISO dial and images had just lost something to me. Felt same with XH1 then had a year with Lumix GX9 and micro four thirds. Lightning fast af but felt uninspiring and wasn’t grabbing when going out like i used to. When going back through my past 5 years plus of captures, (street, portraits and urbex), came to the conclusion that my trusy old T1 and the XTrans 16mp sensor were the 'sweet spot' for me. Haven't got to be as patient as using the PR01 but if you get your head around it it's a peach of a camera and can find pretty good deals second hand and then have money for some decent glass. 👌
Was never super in love with the XT1 or 2 dumped them. Realized I just don't like the DSLR style Fuji bodies got an X-e4 and yeah that is my camera of choice for pick up and go.
I got a xt 3 deal that i could not pass up on...its on its way to me :D but right now i am still using a xt 1 which i would never sell, bc i just love its overall feeling. Sure i am hyped for a more user friendly design, but man this cam made so many memories for me and the pics are outstanding! Its still brand new, only "issue" it seems to have is, that i dont need to keep the button pressed to change the shutter speed..man i wish it had the same "problem" with the iso ring...the usability would be so much faster :D. If i didnt got the xt 3 with various batteries, batterygrip, flash and sd cards i would not have upgraded it ^^
I've owned one since 2015 and finally decided to sell it yesterday as it's been collecting dust for a few years. First problem was that the leatherette came of and made the whole thing goey and very unpleasing to use but the second thing is completely personal and I have concluded that I just don't like the feedback I get from pressing the shutter. A really minor thing, but all my DSLRs (Nikon D3, Canon EOS 350D, Olympus E400 and Pentax K20D) have a much more satisfying feel to them. I hope someone else gets more enjoyment out of the camera than I have recently :)
I own the Fujifilm XT10 which has the same sensor in a smaller body. Of all the cameras I own (don’t ask how many) I like the monochrome jpegs I get from the XT10 the best.
Yeah, I started Fuji on the XE4. After doing that for half a year I borrowed an XT1 from a friend for a week. Couldn't wait to give it back. I suppose I might have liked it more if I hadn't used a modern Fuji body. Alas, no such luck for the XT1.
At first I enjoyed your channel for its Pentax-centric content but now I'm enjoying your reviews about other brands' cameras. Have you ever thought of reviewing the Fuji X10/x20?
Thanks for the kind words. I'll have more Pentax stuff on the channel eventually. Still trucking away with my K-1 for family stuff and K-3 III for wildlife. I have not shot with either of those cameras yet, but may one of these days!
Yeh, for me I think Fuji are doing pretty good 'work' cameras, or result based. It's what I use now for client stuff, but shooting with them doesn't exactly rock my world (so I know what you mean).
I like very much your approach to photography. I currently use a Nikon D810 which I love, primarly for macro and nature photography, but I am looking for a more compact camera I could use everyday with my AI and AIS lenses. Well, as my aim is compactness, I leaned toward mirrorless cameras and realized... Damn, I don't like EVF. I work almost everyday on a computer and, like you said, EVF is just another screen to look at. Plus I just like to see the scene trough my OVF, you see the actual light and not the interpretation of the lightning by your camera. I just want a full frame digital sensor to stick in my Nikon F3hp hahaha !
Oh, i do remember this incredible camera. So incredible how it would miss focus on even a static subject. One of the most unreliable AF systems in a digital camera. So behind that Fujifilm introduced the well known kaizen to fill the gap... which lasted for 2 or 3 generations of cameras. Yeah, what an incredible camera.
Back in the day, photographers were really artists... They tool a shot and they have very little room to do "post-processing". Jpegs are the closest you can get to that "real art". Check Clyde Butcher's work. Fantastic.
A good photo is taken by the photographer... and not the camera... the X-T1 is more than enough. A good meal is made by the cook and not the pan! But how we allow ourselves to be manipulated by the industry! Greetings from a Swiss living in the Caribbean❤
I owned every generation xtrans body, my recommedation would be xt2 , the first xtrans IQ is fine but the cpu is too slow,made mannual focus like jelly,it wobbles
I am curious if you have ever reviewed the Olympus camedia 4mp cameras. I might now go looking for an xt1. I like dials much better than menus, and I have an xe2. I love your videos, and your pics are gorgeous.
I have a Olympus C740uz that I love, and made a video a while back about. It's called "using an old digital camera to become a better photographer". It's a joy, and really good results from it.
"Even if you have all the money in the world, by this time if you aren't getting good quality pix out of these cameras, it's probably you". DAMN RIGHT! I bought my copy of the X-T1 new in 2015 and will never sell it...
Most people think buying the Latest camera model is the Best in their mind. XT5 40 megs, latest X Trans and others features that they don't even use or need it. Beside I'm not sure XT5 building quality is Better than XT1 or XT2 Made in Japan. To me I still prefer XT1 and 2 pictures quality. They have something special than All the lastest Releases Don't.
In 3:24 are you talking about canon power shot n? I tried to find the type of camera you talk about as i love this feature in film cameras and now I’m interested to find out, are you going to upload the video this week or next week?
ok thank you for answering :) now I'm curious what camera you are talking about 🤔 I hope the video will get released before Black Friday so I will get the camera at a discount price, but no pressure, when ever you will feel like upload the video I will watch it
It’s a great camera. I too miss the prism of an slr; there is a certain joy and magic to shooting through an ovf. I never liked pasm dials, so Imagine if Fuji made a dslr....
I would really love to have all these dials on K70 (or anything other pentax that I own) since i dislike diving into menus when I need or want to adjust the settings in the moment
Οwn a Pentax KP and a Fuji XT3. I can definitely say that when it comes to quick settings the KP is far superior. Of course the 5 user modes and the 3rd wheel of the KP help a lot (did own a K70 for a short while in the past and can't remember much about camera customization). Everything that don't fit there you can find on the quick settings screen (Fuji doesn't have such) On Fuji you really need to dive into deep menus a lot. Anyway, I can say with certainty that except for 1. the silent/faster/precise AF, 2. the (somewhat overhyped since I still prefer shooting RAW) jpeg profiles of the Fuji and 3. more lens options especially fast primes concerned the KP is a better camera in almost every aspect. Superior IQ as well!
@@XXX-vy6xv its mainly my personal preference that i like the sens of dealing with a physical dial...my dislike of the menu system probably stems more from my inexperience than from anything else
Some of that was probably the glass I was using on it + my editing/jpeg output style. I think the camera itself can take any style of photo you want really.
Horrible, horrible horrible raw files. The sensor in my cheap amateur model X-T100 is lightyears ahead of that horribly undetailed mushy 16mp x-trans sensor with bad dynamic range... NO NO NO, dont buy it. Go for next generation 24mp x-trans sensor if you must have a fujifilm camera.
Not so. I have thousands of perfect images from my XT1 days. I prefer the slightly underexposed look. The author may prefer slightly overexposed. It is a matter of taste.

What!? You comparing a XTI to a xt5? 😂
It's awesome. I don't know why either. But I still highly recommend it. I'm just an old curmudgeon with my older DSLRs right now xD
I have no logical understanding of why people buy the latest technology to achieve the oldest look. In my opinion, that misses the point.
@unbroken1010 its about the shooting experience.

I SEE know what they were saying..."It's not about the gear what makes it great, it's who is behind it."
Beautiful pictures with character 🙂
This one deserves to be a favorite and will always be around.
Been using an XT2 since 2016 and I feel I can reliably use it for years more since I have got few very good lenses. The whole system is really complete.
Great video, James! I had no idea Auto 110 lenses could cover APS-C! Looking very forward to the S2 video as well.
They are good fun on APSC! Can't control the aperture (as you probably already know) but wide open the center is quite sharp still and a nice vintage look to the whole deal. I love it.

I'd love to do the same, the EM5 is such a nice hardware package. It's definitely on the list of "grab one when cheap enough" luxuries.
Sure saves you a lot. I got a 40D camera from a photojournalist and it looks like it's gone through a war.. the wear into the metal around the lug straps is like ¼" deep. And it just works. I should get a shutter count on it.. it was 30 bucks.

Not sure if it's on your horizon but the original Pentax Q camera and system is worth a look.
Best camera for old school manual lenses . Takes stunning landscapes with slow shutters speeds to blur water and trees moving in the wind .

Ah the Pentax 110 lenses, I used them on m43 bodies with no vignetting at all!
Aside from that, im shooting the xt2 with fuji.
No more pixii that wasn’t mentioned in your non mirrorless cameras you stated. I’m still watching the pixii developments. You’ve given me a real appreciation of older camera gear.
Oh, haha. I guess you're right - no mirrors in range finders ;)

Focus peaking is far superior when im using vintage lenses
I can be fast with manual focus with focus peaking set to high
A few years ago I snagged a mint XT1 off eBay for $223 shipped. Gone are those days
Yeah! Crazy. I bought my Xpro1 for $250 several years ago. Fuji's have really jumped up on the used market.
Fujifilm gang!
Thug 😂
Actually it's quite beefy for my hand 😅
But the colour rendition is timesaver especially for parents with dozens of jpeg 😁
Them's the breaks. You can't force yourself to live something if it doesn't speak to you. No matter how good it is otherwise.
got mine for 280€, needed some work, but honestly super nice camera
It really is
Came here for the Nikonos lens on it 😀
2:18 my brain exploded
they are great lenses :D
I would really love to have all these dials on K70 (or anything other pentax that I own) since i dislike diving into menus when I need or want to adjust the settings in the moment
Yes, I agree. I like the extra buttons and dials in favor of simplified menus.
Οwn a Pentax KP and a Fuji XT3.
I can definitely say that when it comes to quick settings the KP is far superior. Of course the 5 user modes and the 3rd wheel of the KP help a lot (did own a K70 for a short while in the past and can't remember much about camera customization). Everything that don't fit there you can find on the quick settings screen (Fuji doesn't have such)
On Fuji you really need to dive into deep menus a lot.
Anyway, I can say with certainty that except for 1. the silent/faster/precise AF, 2. the (somewhat overhyped since I still prefer shooting RAW) jpeg profiles of the Fuji and 3. more lens options especially fast primes concerned the KP is a better camera in almost every aspect. Superior IQ as well!
@@XXX-vy6xv its mainly my personal preference that i like the sens of dealing with a physical dial...my dislike of the menu system probably stems more from my inexperience than from anything else
I'm the opposite of you. I can't really get Long with DSLR'S. The X-T1 is one body I can't see getting rid of any time soon.
Has taken until the Nikon zfc for any other mirrorless camera line to pull off the film era body this well.
I want to handle that Nikon in person. It looks really well built.
Bought one three years ago for 350. Now that’s to videos like this “if” you can find one they are $500+. Older and more expensive
Some wild stuff going on in the captions of this video for some reason
Okay, thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look - with the timing?
I love the design of the camera but the photos are a little too hazy for my liking
Some of that was probably the glass I was using on it + my editing/jpeg output style. I think the camera itself can take any style of photo you want really.
With the native optics there is no haziness at all unless you really shoot in strong backlight. I use an XT10, same sensor-processor.
What is the lens at 58 indastar?
WTF are focus peeking and punch and zoom?
Had never seen those teeny weeny lenses.... 😮
damn every old fuji camera is getting pricier. They even are so close in price now Xt-1s to Xt4s
Great 👍
400? , dang , thats like xt2 territory
Yeah, the prices have fluctuated a lot in the last year or two. XT2 is only $100 more, so probably worth the little extra cash.
@@snappiness yeah , fuji tax i call it
Prices gone mad, Fujis overhyped during last year.
@@XXX-vy6xv fair observation , anything fuji rose in price
Nice
I don't have any mirrorless camera,
Has mirrorless cameras
You make all my dreams come true!!! 😭🫶 Thanks for sharing & can't wait to get my hands on one of these!!
It's a good camera to save up for! Worth every penny I think
Horrible, horrible horrible raw files. The sensor in my cheap amateur model X-T100 is lightyears ahead of that horribly undetailed mushy 16mp x-trans sensor with bad dynamic range... NO NO NO, dont buy it. Go for next generation 24mp x-trans sensor if you must have a fujifilm camera.
Is it really that bad, or just not good examples in the video?
Colors look washed.
Not so. I have thousands of perfect images from my XT1 days. I prefer the slightly underexposed look. The author may prefer slightly overexposed. It is a matter of taste.
Hey I messsged you Instagram. I wanted to ask if I could pay you to make a sl prime to gfx mount
