Save Data Setup" are where the menu options for how data is stored are hidden, for instance, setting file numbering. While the thought of an electronic viewfinder (EVF) might be offputting for many, the X-T1’s EVF is so advanced, and so large when it is held up to the eye, that it’s good enough to change even the most traditionalist photographer’s perception. It’s not too dissimilar to the EVF in the Olympus OM-D E-M1 in that it features a similar 2.36-million-dot resolution, but it has a higher magnification ratio of 0.77x, supported by a newly designed graphic user interface (GUI) that’s designed to relate to the camera’s autofocus and manual focusing options.

These are two popular models from the company’s X-series lineup of APSC mirrorless cameras. Both cameras offer high image quality and solid performance, but there are some key differences between the two models that may make one a better choice for you over the other. As for autofocus accuracy in AF-S / Single mode, the camera performed admirably. I did not notice any autofocus issues in Single mode with the X-T1 similar to what I had reported on the X-E2, so that’s definitely good news. In fact, I found the X-T1 to be the best performing camera from Fuji in terms of autofocus accuracy. When shooting with the Fuji XF 56mm f/1.2 lens, the camera nailed focus shot to shot wide open at f/1.2 – something neither Canon nor Nikon can do with the most advanced DSLRs when using f/1.2 and f/1.4 lenses. If you look at the EXIF data from the provided image samples in this review, most images were taken wide open at f/1.2 when I used the 56mm f/1.2 lens. Manual FocusI prefer to set JPG NORMAL, not HIGH. The images look the same, and take up half the space on my card and computer. The four-way directional buttons at the rear double as customisable function buttons. Two further custom function buttons are found at the front and on the top-plate. Design: Both cameras have the classic, retro-style design that is inspired by film cameras from the past. However, the X-T1 is built with a solid, magnesium-alloy body that is both weather-resistant and dust-resistant. Fujifilm X-T5

Since the X-T1 is all about the best image quality Fuji can deliver in a compact mirrorless camera, you will be happy to know that the camera can capture RAW images in 14-bit (which basically translates to wider color gamut), just like the X-E2. Thanks to the faster processor, the X-T1 and the X-E2 are able to process and record much larger RAW files. Fuji engineers knew that larger files would result in slower write speeds and potentially more frustrating experience, so they increased the write speed throughput. As long as you have one of those fast SD cards, you should not have to wait much for the camera to empty its buffer when shooting in continuous mode.

Digital Split Image assisted focusing in MF has also made its way into the X-T1, with optional focus peak highlighting, allowing you to maintain the composition of your image while a 100% crop of the selected AF-zone displayed beside it shows when the desired focus is achieved. Thanks to the generous size of the EVF, a function that sounds as though it would be cramped in practice, actually works very well.

Your Comments

The reason I’m comparing these two models is because The X-T1 still captures incredibly beautiful images. I tested one against the other, and even though the X-T5 outperforms the X-T1 on specs, the images are still very strong from the X-T1, making it a viable alternative for anyone with a smaller budget. The Fujifilm X-T1 comes from an entirely different era of photography – 2014. That may not sound very long ago, but in terms of modern technology it’s lightyears away. The Fujifilm X-T5 is full of all the modern tech you could want in a camera, but still holds on to the DNA of the X-T1 – with a very similar design and a body size/weight. With its focal-plane shutter, the X-T1 has a very adaptable top shutter-speed limit of 1/4000th second in all shooting modes. Consequently there's no built-in ND filter as on the X100/S, so if you want to use the 35mm lens at F/1.4 in very bright sunlight, for example, then it's a good idea to buy an actual glass ND filter. The X-T1 utilises a focal-plane shutter rather than the leaf shutter that the X100/S cameras have, much like a regular DSLR camera. This results in slightly noisier operation than on those very quiet cameras, although the shutter on the X-T1 is pretty stealthy by DSLR standards, and a much slower flash-sync speed of 1/180th second (versus the X100/S's 1/400th second). To make the camera less obtrusive there's a Silent menu option which turns off the speaker, flash, AF-assist lamp and most importantly the shutter-release sound, instantly making the X-T1 perfectly suited to candid photography. Switching from AF to manual focus instantly applies the viewfinder’s dual mode that cleverly splits the screen in two, offering a view of the full image on the left and a smaller magnified view on the right. What’s more, this dual mode ties in well with the camera’s focus peaking and digital split-image focus options, to ensure that when the camera is used with manual-focus lenses only, optimum sharpness is achieved with every shot. I'm not at all convinced that the Nikon would have a faster more reliable autofocus. The saying 'DSLR's have better autofocus' does not apply when we are talking about an entry level DSLR and a semi-pro mirrorless.

type (PROVIA/STANDARD, Velvia/VIVID, ASTIA/SOFT, PRO Neg Hi, PRO Neg. Std, MONOCHROME, MONOCHROME+Ye FILTER, MONOCHROME+R FILTER, MONOCHROME+G FILTER, SEPIA) Image Quality: Both cameras use Fujifilm’s X-Trans CMOS sensors, however, the Fujifilm uses the X-trans 2 sensor and the X-T5 uses the X-Trans 5 sensor. The images were a little soft straight out of the Fujifilm X-T1 at the default sharpening setting and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can change the in-camera setting. The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds being long enough for most after-dark shots, and the Bulb mode allowing much longer exposures if required. AF is extremely accurate, since it works directly from the sensor and compensates for any mechanical or optical errors. See how easy it is to get pinpoint focus:

Conclusion

I remember the first time I handled the X-Pro1 and how much I hated its buggy autofocus system. It has been over two years now and Fuji has come a long way to make its autofocus system fast and accurate. Despite all the claims about autofocus performance, something all current mirrorless cameras struggle with is continuous autofocus. While most AF systems do a pretty good job with stationary subjects, autofocus systems simply fall apart as soon as the subject moves. That’s where DSLRs still dominate today and will probably continue to do so for the next few years until mirrorless catches up. The challenge with continuous autofocus is the speed of rendering digital information. The status LED is invisible on the right side of the camera away from the finder; you won't see it if your eye is on the finder. Video: The X-T5 is a better choice for video enthusiasts, as it offers 6K video recording at 30 frames per sec Crop at 100% from above. If this is 6" (15cm) wide on your screen, the complete print would be 35 x 24" (1 x 0.7m) at this same high magnification. Complete full-resolution image.

The leaf shutter of the X100S lets its built-in flash synchronize to about 1/2,000, letting it work great in daylight, while the focal plane shutter of the X-T1 is over ten times slower (1/180), so it has much less fill-flash range. The focus ring push-pulls on some lenses to select Auto or Manual focus, otherwise, move the lever on the front of the camera. Classic design is the first thing that you’ll notice when you see the Fujifilm X-T1. Its DSLR-style viewfinder gives it a distinctly film-like silhouette reminiscent of the Nikon FM2 – a move away from the rangefinder style of the other X-series cameras such as the X-Pro1 and the X-E2.
