“Only two years ago all of this was like asking for the moon!” X-T1 review at riflessifotografici (part 2)

And here it is, part 2 of riflessifotografici’s X-T1 review. After Max Angeloni (part 1), now also Donato Chirulli shares his X-T1 findings on the Italian review site here (English version).

New FR-readers, who don’t know riflessifotografici, may be warned: if you are looking for pages over pages of mere specs, pixel peeping, technical data and graphics, then this is not the kind of review you should read. But, if what you’re looking for is a real life review, a review that doesn’t need many words, but just the right words to reveal the good and the bad of the X-T1 and with beautiful images, then check it out here.

“The X-T1 is the closest thing to a reflex that I’ve used since that day in 2009. For the first time since I started to use CSC cameras I haven’t had that subtle and almost unconcious feeling to have a slightly lesser camera compared to a DSLR. Pictures were good, sure, but sometimes the AF system, sometimes the viewfinder, sometimes the responsiveness left something to be desired…You know what I mean. Trust me when I say that the X-T1 won’t let you feel like that.

[…] The Ev compensation and shutter speed dial would have had a better feeling if swapped, at least for me. Too many times I found myself changing the EV compensation while I wanted to change the shutter speed. […] My third complain is shared with some of the other X-series cameras (i.e.X100S) and is related to the impossibility to shoot RAW on a double exposure, a feature that the X-E1 has…Why is it missing on the X-T1?

[…] What else should I say before leaving room to the image gallery? Not that much, to be honest…I have just one thing to say: at this point I think Fuji should focus on a weather sealed 300mm lens (as bright as possible, I would say F3,5) in order to fill what is the only “hole” in the Fuji lenses lineup.”
