Those that found the original X-Pro1 appealing were once again excited by Fujifilm’s all-in retro approach when the X-T1 launched in January 2014. It seemed like the move was away from retro focused towards something that used retro elements. After the original X-Pro1 and its strong legacy type look and controls, Fujifilm had tended towards a much more modern look and softer style with their mirrorless cameras, with some of the models even forcing the company to deviate from having aperture rings on the lenses due to the lack of some controls. What a lot of folk didn’t expect with the X-T1 was something that looked a lot so much like a small, older film SLR. Much of the guts of the camera come from the X-E2, though even those have been refined.

The Fujifilm X-T1 is the sixth in the series of X cameras Fujifilm has produced, so you’d expect that with all those predecessors that it would be refined. I’ll have much more to say about that in the handling section, below. I don’t appreciate “retro” when it’s just nostalgic and there are better solutions. I appreciate “retro” when it is using design that wasn’t broken. I’m of a different notion to this, though. Maybe you’ll buy a camera if it looks and feels more like the camera you used in the 80’s or 90’s (or 70’s for some of us more elder statesmen). The whole “retro style” thing that the X-T1 uses falls into this category, for example. One of the things the camera companies now seem to be trying hard to do is to evoke visceral reactions that will make you buy on more than just functional differences. My goal, as always, is to describe the product and its use as best as I can from the vantage point of using the gear in a variety of actual work conditions. No product is perfect, so I’ll be describing some “warts” along the way. As always, I review products after pragmatic and relatively tough use. If you’re one of those that believed the hyperbole and bit on all the marketing lines, you’re probably not going to like this review. Right up front I need to say this: in early 2014 the Fujifilm X-T1 was one of the most hyped, most discussed cameras in the market.
