The Venerable Fujifilm XT-1

I love this camera, it was one of my earlier Fujfilm X Series cameras.  My first was the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 and then the Fujifilm XE-1.  However this XT-1 was a gift from Fujifilm as thanks for shooting some video at the headquarters in New York.  I did not have the Graphite one and was thrilled to get it.  Later I gave it to my sister-in-law when she got interested in photography and then later she sent it back to me!   I was thrilled to get it back!  The first generation X cameras had the 16 mega pixel sensor which I still think was one of their best!  As time has marched on I’ve gotten less interested in how many mega pixels a camera has and much more interested in the image quality, this XT-1 has fantastic image quality!  Check out some of these images shot with it!

 

 

I always felt the XT-1 had one of the most film looking files, you can now pick up a used one of these 22 year old bodies in excellent condition for around $400 to $500.  It is an oldie but a goodie!

 

Blessings,

    My first Fujifilm camera was the X-T1. I got it in 2014 after seeing you talk about it on one of your videos for Scott Kelby. I got the X-T1, the 18-55mm kit lens, the 55-250mm, and the 14mm. I wanted something that was lightweight to travel with. In May that year I took them to London, England, and was simply astonished by the quality of the photos. Then in October I took a photo workshop with you and Jack Graham in Acadia, Maine – my first Fortney/Graham workshop! I shot with the X-T1 and was again really happy with the quality of the images. Sadly, I ended up selling it as I moved up to the X-T2, the X-T3, and the X-T5. Still, as you say, more pixels but not really better quality images!
