bought this camera 1 year ago as my first camera, now i have use it most time for documenting wedding, graduation, concert etc. Best purchase i've ever
It is a great camera indeed :) glad to hear you are enjoying it as much as I do
A note to photographers who have recently purchased this camera. It is important to update the firmware. Many photographers don't update their camera's firmware but with the X T1, it is important to update. The camera prior to Version 4 wasn't that great a camera, the Version 4 update significantly improved problems the camera had. The current and probably last Version is 5.52. How to check what firmware your camera and lens have (the current lens on the camera). With the camera turned off, press the “DISP/BACK” button then while continuing to press the button turn the camera on and the current version of the camera and lens will be displayed on the LCD. Almost all current reviewers of the X T1 purchased in 2022 - 2024 leave this detail out.
How do you update it??
@@Mildorji czcams.com/video/hllQbI0Fduw/video.html
I’m still using this xt1 until today. Yes, a beast!
It is a really well designed camera that renders great image quality :)
I’ve just begun looking at the XT family of Fujis. These are coming across as the nearest thing to old-skool manual film cameras, which is what I love. Old style controls without the fuss of film chemistry, I’m in heaven. Pity my poor piggy bank when I decide to take the plunge😉
Great video, thanks. 2024 I have just purchased the XT-1 for all the reasons you mention.
Have fun with it!
I have an XT2 bought brand new and an XT1 bought used. My go to camera is the XT1. It’s just special really. Naturally I don’t do video so it’s sufficient for my needs.
It is a special camera indeed. As for video i would prefer camera manufacturers to start making 100% photography centric cameras
I use the same combination on vacation❤
Made in Japan also has much better quality control. I have two XT1 cameras, I use an M42 adapter for my Takumars. A perfect pairing! This pairing creates awesome old film look! Thanks for doing this video.
Awesome lenses! And yes the build quality and materials used in the XT1 & 2 seem to be of higher quality :)
LUV it @ 04:58 !
Love my XT1!
And so you should! Classic!
Single SD card slot, but it is UHS-II. Decent EVF, and decent rear LCD. Viewfinder info can ‘flip’ when the camera is used in vertical orientation, very cool.
Exposures and colors can get wonky at times, and skin tones can be either really good, or dull and pasty, and the RAWS don't always play well with editors. Yes, I’ve still got my original XT-1 bought on special in 2015, new. The XF23 f/1.4 works great and that combo takes some wicked photos. Focusing not that bad, but not that good either? Take care.
Toffe content! Bedankt voor het maken :) Heb de XT30ii gekocht 2 maanden geleden. En net een week de XT1 erbij. Langzaam van de fullframe Sony naar het fuji systeem. 😁
Bedankt! Grappig dat je dezelfde route kwa cameras bewandeld als ik. Ik ben dan wel een camera slurper. Net mijn hele Sony A7III plus alle lenzen verkocht. Stond stof the vergaren.
bought the xt 1 when it came out, still have it along with my xpro1 still both great cameras. have the pro 3 and the xt5 as well. all fabulous.
Awesome cameras indeed! What are you favourite lenses to use?
@@PaulTakesPhotos I really enjoy the 14mm 2.8 but the 35mm 1.4 and 56mm 1.2 are also great.
Yes!! Even though I own the Xt2, Xh1, the 50r and 100s + Leica I still use my XT1 with the original 27mm 2.8 lens. Fits in my pocket, goes everywhere. And the images are gorgeous, and film like -- much nicer IMHO than the XT2 or XH1
I do use the same combo frequently (or with the excellent 90mm) and the sharpness, colours and bokeh render great, realistic pictures with a good dose of analogue feel :)
One reason why I am selling my XT-1 now. Because I bought an XT-3! :-) XT-3 has sharper images, but XT-1 are more contrasty and have higher saturation, that is what you perceive as sharper I guess. XT-3 prices are lower than 900 Euros now. I bought one which had a few thousand pictures taken for 725 Euro and another one, which was like brand new (800 pictures taken) for 775 Euros.
Excellent deal you got :) i have the XT30ii and XT4 which is image quality are pretty much like the XT3. Same AF system, similar sensors and colour rendering. Call me a digital camera romantic but I just love the XT1 and XT2 because they are unique in their own ways. Always felt that Fuji joined the auto focus and modern sharpness club when it released it's XT3. Thanks for your insight and comment though
You can not trust fuji exif shutter count. Cameras you bought most certainly have more 10k on the shutter.
@@Heart0rHead I know that the exif shutter count is not always accurate for several reasons. But when you see that the camera is as new and the settings still have the beep for AF active you know that the camera was not used much ;-) One camera the shutter count was accurate AFAICT. One had lost the shutter count (likely due not having a battery for a longer time -- also a sign that the camera had long rests and was likely not used much. The owner told me how many photos he had on his computer. Multiply that by 2 or 3 (for an amateur doing vacation photos) and you have a good guess of the real shutter count. So I am confident that the cameras where fine and really not used much (first owner in both cases as well).

I have one, which I got from MPB. It turned out to be practically new, with onlu 3800 shutter count. Only problem is a bulging door.
Mine has 5841 clicks, bought it of a guy who has barely used it. The card door is a bit flimsy indeed. Enjoy the experience! Fujifilm classic :)
I am a huge fan of the X-Trans II sensor, so much so I have sold all my Fujifilm cameras with later sensors apart from my X-T20, keeping the X-T1, X-T2 and X100T. I perceive the X-Trans II to have nicer looking images, especially in colour. As far as individual cameras go, I reckon the X-T1 is the best all round package. It is not too large, it takes a grip and still remains fairly compact, It has the biggest viewfinder and is the easiest to use for manual focus. It remains reasonably priced unlike the X-E2 or 2s. However, I still grab my X-T10 more as I prefer its slightly better AF and smaller form factor.
The sensor has a lot of fans it seems. As for the XT10 it seems pretty much forgotten by many but it still represents excellent value for money
Also x-t1 is smallest from all x-t series
True, damn I overlooked that one
If we had to buy every camera CZcams influencer tell us to buy our bank accounts would be empty in a couple of hours- not days 😂
No camera make us better photographers - only practice with what we have
Check that box :) i do agree that cameras dont make you better a photographer nor do lenses. They do increase the joy of photography. In my case: older digital cameras, preferable small... I do have about 15 cams and spin the wheel of Fortune to see which one I'll use today. Hence me normally looking for great deals on the used market. And If I don't use a cam I sell it off
I own 2 X-T1's the black and graphite version. I never will sell those!
I heat it a lot and i understand it now. Superb camera
3:29 you did her so dirty lmao.
Fujifilm or E-M10 Mark II as a first camera? Genuinely, I wanna shoot everything: street, portrait, landscape, but I don't even know what to look into in terms of choosing. Some say full frame is the only way. Now I only do photos on a smartphone and would like to go deeper than that
Better olympus em10 mark II. Trust me
Both camera systems are great, id advise you to divide your budget into 3 categories: camera, lens and basic accessories :) biggest difference is that Fuji has apsc sensors and Olympus micro Four thirds sensor. I started on MFT and I still have a Lumix that I use as these cameras rock. Full frame is great but in general cameras and glass are way more expensive and in general a little bit heavier and bigger. I made an episode on how to pick your first camera czcams.com/video/gGryBtIVVuY/video.htmlsi=ImHIlWu_usRsu0Zn
Hope this helps
I have an x-t20 and x-t4 and x-H2S and have not noticed any (worth while) difference,
Thanks to all these vids xt1 is going up and xt3 is about the same money...
Really? In my experience not the case. Sure have to search a bit. XT10 is still amzingly cheap available
got a XT-1 today but the door is bulging and the rubber grips are wearing. Think i should send this to Fuji for a fix?
Oh dear, the rubber grips are a known issue. Did the seller not disclose it? That aside, you can contact Fujifilm, in my experience Fuji's repair service takes some time to find and can prove costly. If you have a local camera store I'd suggest you contact them.
@@PaulTakesPhotos thanks, its not degrading the performance or useability but its just annoying. Will contact fuji. I googled and some were lucky to get their repair for free, fingers crossed i get it too. Prices were on the up for older fuji models so i bit the bullet and couldnt get hold of a decent one.
@@PaulTakesPhotos
issue is with the the early models and was fixed . my own was reskinned and new card slot door by fuji .
3:35 is that Putin😂
Hahah yeah was having his morning beer
I have two beasts X-T1 and X-T3, X-T3 is superior but X-T1 has more visionary artistic imaging. Probably the contrast, and slightly softness. But I only know that X-T1 is a painter! Not a camera 📸.
Great way of putting it 👍👍👍👍
How do they compare in terms of built quality? Is the X-T3 also metal?
@@daniel4210 not sure if you Asked me. I feel in my hand, touching wheels, pad and so on. I feel X-T3 is a better build, solid feeling.
@@silviocaravelli3567 Good to know, thanks!
I have the XT3, XH1 and i use the Xt1 the most. My 35 1.4 spends alot of time on it. Is there a better combo than that for those special pictures. Also i think the XT1 has a small advantage for high ISO
It is a very good combo. The xt1 at times is sharper than my XT30II and in low light the iso seems to handle better, probably because the sensor on the XT1 is smaller than the later iterations
