Pre-orders (and support FR)

After several months of restless work to make of the X-T1 one of the most leaked cameras ever, today you can support my work here on Fujirumors. If you choose to pre-order it using one of the X-T1 shoplinks (AmazonUS, Bhphoto, Adorama, wexDE, wexUK & Co) in this post, FR will get a small commission on it. It won’t cost you a single penny extra on your camera. Thanks in advance to those who decide to support this blog… you will allow me to spread many exciting rumors also in 2014… I’m already investigating for you ;-).

Key features of the Fujifilm X-T1

Evolved electronic viewfinder

1. High-precision 2.36 million dot OLED viewfinder
2. Highest viewfinder magnification for digital cameras of 0.77x*
3. Wide viewing angle (diagonal 38° and horizontal 31°)
4. Ultra fast Real Time Viewfiner with a lag-time of 0.005sec** (less than 1/10 of existing models)***
5. Four different display modes: Full, Normal, Dual and Vertical.
- Full mode: Displays shooting information at the top and bottom of the screen to avoid obstruction of the view.
- Dual mode: Adds a small second screen for checking focus point with Focus Peak Highlight or Digital Split Image*⁴.
- Normal mode: Lets you concentrate on framing the shot in Auto Focus mode while keeping you aware of how the shooting conditions are changing, making it the perfect setting for sports and action photography
- Portrait mode: When in Full or Normal modes, it rotates the shooting information interface when the camera is turned vertically.

Ultimate high-speed responses, including the world’s fastest AF

World’s fastest AF of 0.08 seconds*⁵ is achieved with Fujifilm’s proprietary imaging area phase-detection. Startup time of 0.5 seconds*⁶, shutter time lag of 0.05 seconds and shooting interval of 0.5 seconds*⁷ have been achieved with the image processing engine EXR Processor II — with more than twice as fast a processing speed as the previous processor.
Phase detection AF and motion predictive AF for continuous shooting up to 8 frames per second*⁸.
World’s first compatibility with Ultra High Speed UHS-II SD memory cards.

Weather resistant structure

Dust and water-resistant body with approximately 80 points of weather sealing. Freeze resistance to -10℃.
Vertical battery grip VG-XT1 and three new zoom lenses offer the same weather resistance to secure the entire system.

High resolution, low noise and unique color reproduction

16.3 megapixel APS-C size X-Trans™ CMOS II*⁴ sensor with original color array to control moiré and false colors without a optical low path filter.
Resolution and low noise comparable to that of models with ‘full-frame’ sensors.
Proprietary image design technology reproduces true-to-life colors.
Redesigned circuit board design enables high ISO 51200 setting*¹⁰.
Lens Modulation Optimizer technology maximizes each lens’ performance.

Flagship build quality and intuitive operation

Die-cast magnesium body provides a sturdy and durable, while compact and lightweight design.
Double-deck, precision-milled aluminum dials for shutter speed, ISO setting, exposure compensation, metering and drive mode, with notched settings.
Body and grip designed for correct balance when attaching telephoto and large-diameter lenses.
Twin command dials and six Function buttons for instant control and customization.
Tempered glass 1.04million dot high-precision tilting LCD monitor.

Accessories for refined shooting

The Vertical battery grip (VG-XT1) completely integrates with the body in both vertical and normal position, while offering weather resistance. The grip includes shutter release button, twin command dials, AE-L and AF-L buttons, Focus-assist button and Key Lock Lever in the same orientation as the body.
An EF-X8 flash (Guide Number 11)*¹¹ is included with the camera and has a compact body designed to match the X-T1 plus Fujifilm’s Super intelligent flash performance.
The Assist grip (MHG-XT) supports extended shooting. Your battery and card can be removed with the grip in place when using a tripod. It also works as a quick-release plate on the tripod.

Enhanced wireless functions

Free “FUJIFILM Camera Remote” application and “Wireless Communication” function allows users to remotely shoot images from smartphones and tablets.
Wireless functions via the “FUJIFILM Camera Remote” include Touch AF, shutter release for stills and movies, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, ISO sensitivity, Film Simulation modes, White Balance, macro, timer and flash.
