Fujifilm X-T1 Review: A Canon User’s Perspective – Guest Post by Duncan Fawkes

02/07/2014 By Heather

The following is a guest post by the extremely talented outdoor photographer Duncan Fawkes. We discovered him on Twitter after seeing a selection of his powerful images from Scotland, the Peak District, the Lake District and Wales – four places for which we both have a deep affinity. A quick interaction between us soon led to this guest post, a review of the Fujifilm X-T1 interspersed with a handful of Duncan’s best images. We are certain you will enjoy reading his thoughts. Please remember to pay a visit to his website once you’ve finished reading to see more of his amazing work!

I’ve been a Canon user since I started photographing seriously in 2007. For the last 6 years I’ve been using the Canon 5D Mark 2/3.

Overall I’ve been very happy with the 5D. The image quality is terrific, and the controls are very well laid out and intuitive. It’s a very usable camera and a great performer.

However I was finding that its size and weight meant that I would often leave it at home. For dedicated landscape photography trips I’d take the big bag with me, but for everything else – family days, day trips, commuting, a leisurely stroll – the only camera I had with me was my iPhone.

Fujifilm Raises the Bar! – Hands-On Review of the new Fujifilm X-T1

The new Fujifilm X-T1 is probably one of the most rumoured and leaked cameras we’ve seen in the past couple of years. We basically knew everything about the camera before the official release, and the rumours surrounding it have contributed to making it one of the most exciting camera releases by Fujifilm to date. Was all this fanfare worth the wait?

Hopes, Thoughts and Trust: The upcoming Fujifilm X-T1

20/01/2014 By Mathieu

I apologise in advance for talking about something that hasn’t been released, let alone announced yet. But… I couldn’t resist! My enthusiasm for cameras is one of the main reasons I started this blog in the first place and I’m actually glad to see that I’m not the only one on the Web who can’t wait to write something about the long-rumoured Fujifilm X-T1. But what’s all the fuss about, anyway?

Well, there are actually many things to be excited about it. I won’t comment on every spec rumoured these days. For that, you can always visit the excellent Fujirumors website, where you can also see many pictures of the camera. Instead of talking specs which haven’t been confirmed yet, I prefer to highlight the reasons why I think this camera could be a real whopper.
