The X-T1 firmware 4.20 had a bug. Fuji will fix it end of January. In the meantime they have prepared Firmware 4.21, whose functions are same as the previous version 4.10

“We have found a malfunction in the firmware ver.4.20 launched on December 17 2015, which rarely causes freeze when shooting in AF-C mode. So we will suspend the disclosure of this firmware right away.

We apologize for your inconvenience which this may cause.

We will post an upgraded firmware around the end of January 2016 to solve it.
As a tentative solution for customers who have upgraded their cameras to firmware ver.4.20, we have prepared the new firmware version of 4.21 whose functions are same as the previous version of 4.10. Please update your cameras to ver.4.21 to avoid the malfunction.”

Recently the National Geographic delcared the X100T and X-T1 among the 10 best Cameras for Travels you can get in 2015.

And today it’s time for dpreview to declare the X100T the Best Compact Camera for Travels (along with the Panasonic FZ1000, Sony RX100 IV, Panasonic DMC-LX100 and the Olympus Tough TG-4).

About the X100T they say:

“Few cameras in recent history have attracted as much of a cult following as Fujifilm’s X100 series.

They’re the photographer’s darling – not just a good-looking camera, but a beautifully effective machine. The X100T is small and light, and won’t burden a weary traveler, and its low-profile lends itself to street shooting. If you don’t mind zooming with your feet, its 35mm F2 equivalent lens and 16MP X-Trans APS-C sensor will serve you well.

In addition to its travel-friendly size, the X100T offers a hybrid viewfinder with optical and digital views. That’s especially handy when the sun is high in the sky and the 1.04M-dot 3″ LCD becomes harder to see. […]

With obviously classic design cues, the X100T’s controls and handling are timeless. Though it doesn’t offer the cutting-edge modern features of its newer peers, it won’t go out of style anytime soon.
