I just bought a mint condition Fujifilm X-T1. \u00a0Why???!!! \u00a0I found one on eBay for less than $400. with only 2,000 shutter activations. \u00a0This was the first of the XT series of cameras and it had only a 16 mega pixel sensor. \u00a0But…. that sensor had larger pixels, which meant it did not have to be amped up, as much, \u00a0when shooting a higher ISO’s. \u00a0The shot above was with an X-T1 at ISO 6,400! \u00a0It is almost devoid of noise and if there was any you would clearly see it in the out of focus green background, but their is none!!!! \u00a0If I shot the same image with the X-T5 there would definitely be noise back there. \u00a0Now I have Topaz De-Noise so I could have erased it, but the original file would not have been as clean.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am not dumping the X-T5, it has it’s 0wn advantages and I love it, but if I had to shoot at very high ISO, like available light stuff or night sky photography\u00a0I would reach for the X-T1.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cameras and lenses are tools and as the artist it is up to you to pick the best tool for the job at hand. \u00a0To be honest I’m just a little nostalgic about the X-T1 since it was the point in the system at which I fell in love with the Fujifilm X Series of cameras and lenses, so I’ve got an old friend back!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n …..and old friends are a good thing!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blessings,<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n the pilgrim<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just bought a mint condition Fujifilm X-T1. \u00a0Why???!!! \u00a0I found one on eBay for less than $400. with only 2,000 shutter activations. \u00a0This was the first of the XT series of cameras and it had only a 16 mega pixel sensor. \u00a0But…. that sensor had larger pixels, which meant it did not have […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26517"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26519,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26517\/revisions\/26519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
