So where did I put that little X-T1 flash again? Don't know about you, but I am constantly misplacing the little auxiliary flash (EF-X8) that came with my X-T1 as a replacement for a built-in model.
Admittedly, its small size makes it convenient to pack, but it also makes it convenient to misplace or forget to pack.

What I Think of the Fujifilm X-T1. Last year I decided to put all my stuff for photographers on a different website (www.confessionsxl.com).
But lately I’ve been having some problems with that website and to be honest I find it hard to produce regular new content for two websites too. So for now, I’m posting this “photographer’s post” here. Fuji Follow-Up. It's been two years since I fell down the Fuji rabbit hole.
It's been a wonderful (and public) experience, and I probably get asked more questions about Fuji than anything else. So today we're taking a small side trip from lighting and heading into mirrorless. Apologies to the uninterested. I'l be back soon. But for those considering a foray into Fuji, I hope you'll find this helpful Long story short, they have changed nearly everything about my photography. I have no hesitation taking them on paying jobs, and have never been disappointed by them in that respect.

Fuji’s done it again. They’ve simultaneously wowed fans and foes with the newly announced X-T1. There’s a lot to learn here and a lot to discuss. Let’s take a look at some of the details and perhaps more subtle or overlooked points. Fujifilm X-T1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-55mm 16421555. The Fujifilm X-T1 Mirrorless Digital Camera features a 16.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor and an EXR Processor II to produce high-resolution imagery with an expandable sensitivity range from ISO 100-51200 as well as a top continuous shooting rate of 8 fps.
Fujifilm's proprietary X-Trans sensor uses a unique randomized pixel array in order to avoid the use of a resolution-reducing optical low-pass filter, therefore providing images with the utmost sharpness and clarity. This imaging system is benefitted by the Intelligent Hybrid AF system, which uses both contrast- and phase-detection methods to acquire focus quickly and accurately. Enhanced manual focusing capabilities are also a result of these technologies; Digital Split Image and Focus Highlight Peaking are two methods for quickly and precisely determining focus using intelligent focusing aids for improved control and optimized efficiency.

It’s a complete overhaul. From the viewfinder location to the tilting LCD to the abundance of new dials an Fn buttons. Time to pick things apart. Viewfinder I already gushed about how amazing the new EVF is, but the next biggest change after the specs is its placement. I’m happy to take the added dials and switches along with the new EVF location, but it raises an interesting point to ponder with regards to the X-Pro1’s successor. Command Dials The addition of front and rear dials surely got a lot of people excited, particularly those coming from DSLRs.
Recommended Kits — Fuji vs. Fuji. This is the kit I currently carry around in my Billingham Hadley Small when I want to cover off a decent range of focal lengths.
You could do a lot worse than this 3-lens setup. Body: Fujifilm X-T1 In the previous iteration of this kit, I suggested the X-E2 for your body. This is still a completely valid option, but now that I’ve had more time with the X-T1 (review), there’s no doubt in my mind that it’s the better camera and worth the $300 premium over the X-E2.
