I'm considering buying a Fuji X-T1
If your using one, please comment.
Thanks,

I've owned one and it was a great camera no question.
Fuji's current thrust is on "retro" styling and form factor, if you don't like dials, then they won't be for you.
My ONLY problem with the X-T1 was that the viewfinder was in the middle (like the old SLR's) and it smashed my nose on the LCD, which I hate.
I went with a Fuji X-E2 and am very happy as the VF is on the left upper corner ala rangefinder...no nose smashing :)
The lens selection is very good, I'm never sure why people say it's not. Their lenses are stellar and I mean STELLAR across the board...and I'm comparing them to all of the awesome Canon L lenses that I've owned...and I've owned a LOT of high end Canon L lenses.
One big consideration when shooting the Fuji line up is the EVF and the AF.
If you are looking for an EVF to be as good/responsive as your optical view finder on the DSLR, you will see a difference and you may not be satisfied. Be aware.
Certainly it's good; the best EVF in my opinion, but it's "different" than a DSLR.
Also, the Fuji's use a different AF technology than a DSLR and still lag in the "fast AF" department, sure not by much...milliseconds, but still be aware.
It's not an issue for me, but some hate it.
For myself, I'll never go back to a big clunky DSLR that I have to use a backpack to haul...no way.
What are you shooting now?
