What an absolute pleasure it is to sit and watch/listen to your videos. You have a way of describing and explaining that make everything so easy to understand. I’ve watch this particular video a number of times. I’ve never been into the new “trendy” and “all whistles and bells” equipment and so 1 year ago I bought a classic Fujifilm X10 and what a joy it is to use. It gave me the Fujifilm bug and I have today added an XT-1 to my bag. You are for me one of the easiest and most knowledgable camera KZreadrs out there….by a country mile. Thank you.

The joy of the Fuji cameras (size + functionality), plus the JPEG film sims, are the reasons I am migrating into the Fuji ecosystem for all my photography. I have come to love shooting with the film sims and eliminating the need for serious post-processing work (although occasionally I will need to do some minor post-process tweaks such as crop or minor lighting/ adjustment tweaks). Shooting this way is also teaching me to me a better photographer as I am learning to be slower and more patient, and practicing acceptance with my shots. I enjoy encountering a scene, picking the right "film" for the scene, and then shooting with it. I am finding it make the whole photographic experience has become more mindful for me and more satisfying. Part of the reason I love your channel is that you help keep me grounded in the joy and the art of the photographic experience, and not get caught up in the crazy tech-and-spec aspect of photography. You also continue to inspire me to stay connected to the experience and find joy in the art, not focus on trying to achieve "technical perfection" (whatever that even means). And for that, I thank you for helping me find a joy in photography that I have been longing for, but seemed to be a bit elusive. BTW, do you have an online gallery or website anywhere that hosts your images?

So hard to find a recent comparison of older gear! thanks! I was worried you'd say the x-t1 images are better. I had an x-e2 in 2016, and couldn't believe the pictures. I opened up the pictures in the last 3 days (apr 2023), and feel the same way- completely impressed.

Tried the XT2 a few yrs back but didn’t like the results compared to my nikons. However, I was also shooting raw and wasn’t aware of the issues with using Lightroom. Since getting back into some film work, have since purchased the Xt1 and the X-pro1 via your and others recommendations for getting that film look while messing with the Fuji X Weekly film simulation recipes. Love both of these cameras, especially with using those vintage lenses. Looks like you’ve got the perfect setup with these Fuji’s too. As always thanks again for your serene Sunday sermons...

Recently bought an xt1 for almost nothing. One thing I’ve found is that the manual assist helps to get great results from manual lenses, vintage and modern. With the dial controls it’s as close to shooting film as you could get from a digital set up. Super happy with it. Can see my poor old Nikon Dslr getting relegated to very occasional use.

Nice, informative video! I recently started shooting film with an OM-2n and Zuiko primes (watched some great videos on this channel about these, too!). That led me to rethink my needs and goals within photography and I ended up consolidating the functionality of my two LUMIX cameras into an X-T2 - nicely complementing my analog camera and using the same lenses with an adapter for less space needs and weight. I ordered it today and I‘m really looking forward to the new possibilities this system and camera will offer me.

I would like to say, great video, very informative. You seem to be honest and unbiased in your thoughts on these cameras as to why they are still relevant after several generations of the X series, and I agree with everything in the video. Thank you. My first real camera that wasn't a phone, was the Fujifilm Xt1 back in 2014. My biggest reason I love Fujifilm is the tactile dials. If I may though, I would like to interject one side note, but don't quote me on this. I have been doing a fair amount of research on Fujifilm X series cameras as of late, in preparation for X summit next month since I no longer have a camera, and I am waiting to see what the 5th generation X series camera will be before buying another camera. But I vaguely remember hearing or reading somewhere that you don't have to shoot in film simulation if shooting in JPEG and can still change the film simulation recipe, as long as your post production software for editing your your photos is Capture One for Fujifilm instead of Lightroom. As I have heard Capture One for Fujifilm has the Simulation film recipes already on the software. Again anyone reading this should do they're due diligence in research, this is not a direct quote, I do not have or own Capture One for Fujifilm. This is just what I think I remember hearing somewhere?

Excellent video review, thank you. Super interesting as 6 months ago I upgraded from my XT1 to the XT2. I have kept the XT1, thank goodness. I am actually considering selling the XT2 now, I my heart is still with my XT1! I think I will Keep both for the short term, at least, they are both fantastic cameras!

Thank you for an excellent video and just subscribed. I normally shoot wildlife on my Nikon, but wanted a Fuji for a lightweight alternative to carry about, especially for street and local stuff. I managed to get an X-T1 with an 18-55 lens for a bargain and want to try some of your tips. With that lens, what, in your opinion, is its sweet spot? After a quick try, I found f8 and 35mm to be about right, but always willing to try any settings. Many thanks.

Still love and will not get rid of my XT1. Jpegs are incredible.

Since you shoot vintage, I'm surprised you didn't mention the difference in manual focus assist and focus peaking between the 1 and 2. I only have an X-M1 and a T2, and the difference is huge.

I've been a Nikon shooter for decades. This year I picked up a super cheap XT1 body. It's just such a joy to shoot with! I love using my collection of vintage glass with it and the results are brilliant and the experience is so enjoyable. Just love it. I still have a Nikon dSLR for sports and wildlife. If Fuji made a model for that shooting purpose I would be all in.

I own both models and they, plus my faithful Nikon D700 are the only cameras I own, need and use. I use the XT1 for photography and the XT2 has a permanent home in my home video studio. Everything works to my satisfaction. The rest is all about the glass.

I own both the XT-1 and X-T2 and your review is perfect.

I got one too in March! It’s my first camera and I’m absolutely loving it.

I started with an X-T2, and today use two X-T3 cameras. Funny thing is that having the new cameras has relegated the X-T2 as a "beater" EDC camera that never gets left home. Having it always and not worrying about it allows me to actually use it as a tool, not coddle it as a precious thing. This has only reinforced the value of it. I'm now getting some of my best images from it because I actually have it with me and it is second nature in handling and controlling it. FWIW, my previous EDC was the X-E2s, which shares a sensor and processor with the X-T1. I do like the Acros over the generic mono, but the color jpegs can look nicer than more modern models.

Norning Nigel One of the main uses of the dual card slot on the Z-T2 is the ability to split the RAW and JPEG files across the cards, RAW on one, JPEG on the other. Having said that, I regularly shoot JPEG only on my Fuji's - as you know I favour the rangefinder style over the SLR style, so my X-E1, X-E2s and X-E3 cover pretty much all the earlier X-Trans sensors. Each sensor has its own look, its own feel; the images from each one are subtly different. The camera I grab most when I go out for a casual photo shoot is the X-E2s, I prefer the D pad over the X-E3's mini joystick. We are really spoilt for choice when it comes to these machines, a hundred years ago it would have been a choice of possibly 2 or 3, now we have dozens, if not hundreds at our disposal. Great times for Zenographers everywhere.

Hi Nigel, found my way back here as I was craving getting an XT-1 back but my T2 is just so good. I was wondering if you’ve tried a focal reducer, specifically the lens turbo II?

My X-T1 is so good (for stills) that unless you really need great continuous AF, there is no need for me to upgrade. I have a X-E3 too (upgraded from X-E2s). I noticed that I have had to do more experimenting with the custom settings for WB to get the film simulations matching the X-T1, but it can be done and once set no issues. The continuous AF is much better. I am now able to get at least a few in focus shots of my erratic dog's antics, but still plenty of failures occur! If this type of photography were to become my focus I think I would give the X-T2 a miss and upgrade to a X-T3. I got the X-E3 for two reasons. First I really like very small capable cameras (such as Olympus 35 RC) and secondly I was spending a lot of time experimenting with the square format, and the extra resolution is useful should further cropping be necessary. The ACROS simulation and better AF were just added bonuses, welcome but not required.

@@zenography7923 Sensors without AA filters give a special feel nothing else can. And Fujifilm's firmware is decent at getting rid of moiré when it happens, although if it happens in dark spots it can destroy some detail. Noticed this a few times but no big deal 99% of the time. Having a 16MP sensor without AA filter is basically like having a 24MP sensor with an AA filter, albeit with subtle pattern differences (also in noise)

I have both of them, and x-t1 are going to be a better choice when using old vintage lenses. Using the Jupiter 8 lens give a cleaner jpg files on the x-t1 in my opinion. For more modern and higher resolving lenses x-t2. Thanks for your inspiration.

"For more modern and higher resolving lenses x-t2" well no, the X-T1 has no AA filter on a 16MP sensor, so its effective detail rendition is the exact same as a 24MP sensor with an AA filter. For sensors without AA filters (X-T1, D800E) just multiply by 1.5 to find the equivalent pixel count as a sensor with AA filter. Omar Gonzalez recently posted a pixel peeping video if you want to see the (non-existent) difference between X-T1 and X-T2. The only difference is in potential Moiré, but Fujifilm's Firmware takes care of this really well most of the time (unlike Nikon D800E)

@Vinterloft: Very true. Just to add to that, in the ten years of owning the X-T1, I've yet to come across any moire. Sure, the potential is there, but I have not seen it. ​it's a wonderful design and never leaves me wanting more resolution. Though I have a newer Sony. I enjoy both cameras immensely.

The good thing is, somebody is always being upgrading, better AF, better video features, better whatever.....but many ppl are thinking, why the hell, the heck should i upgrade ?! It's good enough. And so is my nowadays (old) gear. The 16 MP X-Trans Sensors are special. I don't need 24, 26 nor 40 MP into the upcoming X-H2. I am perfectly fine with 16 MP. For some applications, it's still overkill. I love to shoot Film, and also 10 to 12 MP DSLRs. Gives me always a smile, when hitting the Shutter. For instance, i've made a few of my best shots just with 10 MP, and a "inferior" old 1 inch Nikon CX Sensor. Who cares?! On the small pictures sizes via web, nobody, noone noticed, how much MP a particular camera had, and if i am shooting with 10, 12, 16 or 24 MP, really doesn't matter. It's good enough. That's the point.

The simplest and cheapest of adaptors will serve you fine - all it does is hold the lens at the correct distance from the sensor so that it will focus.

Had to sell my a7riv and all my gear a few months ago. Switched recently to an X-T1. All I hear about it online is praise. Obviously it has its downsides especially with me coming from that difference in megapixels. Why did I choose the X-T1? It wasn’t just a money equation, I could’ve bought an X-T3. 1. More lenses with the less money spent on body. I can always upgrade later. 2. I use manual focus almost exclusively. Always have and always will. 3. I really enjoy the colors out of the X-T1 vs every other iteration I’ve seen of the X series cameras. 4. I don’t really print large prints anymore. Nor do I crop in as much as I used too. I used to do landscapes, now I shoot street. 5. I wanted a small camera for street photography so I’m not as “in your face” as I was with my massive a7riv with a battery grip. 6. I don’t ever shoot video. Seemed like a no brainer for me to get the X-T1. A fraction of the price of the others with something that would get me pretty much the same product.

@@KimHojbergJensen oh that is interesting! In your opinion would you suggest waiting for an X-T2 or going with the X-T30? I am solely a photo shooter. Totally a hobbiest. I love the film simulations and recipes, the only reason I considered the X-T30 was for the newer sensor and ability to use more of the recipes on Fujiweekly.

@@LetsMakeGhosts I must say that that incident made me loose some of my love for Fuji. I sent the X-T30 for repair mid January. Only two days ago, Friday 16. April, Fuji confirmed they are replacing the sensor. I don't know when I will receive it back. In the mean time I have purchased a used X-T2 to use my lenses. It is a nice camera, and I will probaly sell the X-T30 whenever it returns. I am used to shooting raw so I don't shoot jpg's with the recepies, but the same recipies are available in Lightroom when you process your raw files. I alway use them there. I don't feel the photos from the X-T30 are "better" than those from the X-T2. Unless ýou want a very very small camera I would go for the X-T2.

@@KimHojbergJensen Thanks for the reply Kim. You have really just reaffirmed what I was thinking. I am primarily a Canon shooter and just took up the Fuji for fun. I am using vintage glass and Canon glass on the X-T1 so have not invested any money in Fuji lenses. Thank you.

The X-T2 is way better than the X-T30. The only camera that us better than the X-T2 is the X-T3. I even dare to say that my X-T3 is better than my X-T4. That is why I sold my X-T4 and kept my X-T3 & X-T2. Personally, I like the colors of the X-T2 better than the X-T3 but for cinematography work, the X-T3 is still untouchable.

I tried all system s which provide focus peaking and Fujifilm is by far the best one when it come to manual focus peaking accuracy.

The Fujifilm peaking system is pretty good, but that of the Sony a7 I've found to be better as it's rather more prominent and visible.

Sorry!

Currently debating between the X-T1 vs X-T2. I keep getting swayed towards the T2 because of the higher quality images and improved ability to capture details although I’m not planning to shoot much video, just angular street/abstract/architecture details. Any thoughts or opinions are massively appreciated!

The X-T2 makes very nice images, but I don't like them quite as much as those from the X-T1, which have their own peculiar magic! If I didn't need the extra video capability of the X-T2 (far better than the X-T1) I would have kept the 1 over the 2.

@@zenography7923 Cheers for the response and all your videos! It’s interesting that you say that because I assumed the image quality on the X-T2 would be miles ahead of the X-T1, which is the only reason I’m considering making the jump up. I have to do some more research and see exactly what is the difference in image quality between the two and if it’s worth paying more. Thanks again!

Hello Sir, I Don't Know If You Will See My Comment, Now Im College At Photography Class, So It Mean I Will Take More Photos Than Video, So What Would I Take? XT1 Or XT2? Thanks Sir Sorry For The Bad English XD

How you can compare cameras if you compare different shots. If you would set a tripod, made a shot with x-t1, than put x-t2 on the tripod and make exactly the same shot and than compare what have you got.

I know what you mean, but my analysis is more about real world, subjective impressions rather than very fine technical distinctions. It's more about the overall feel of images made by different cameras/lenses, which is, after all, what most people actually experience when using photography gear. Hope that makes sense!

I have a XT2 for a long time, take a lot of photos for last 3 years, and I had a XT 3 for a short time, there’s no big difference between XT2 and XT3/4 if you only just shoot photos but not video

Agreed - the X-T3 is pretty similar to the 2 - its images do have a different look though, and it's better for shooting video too.

I have an X100T, XT2 and XT20. Fuji is an addiction. Not interested in their newer models.

Sony colors are no match, but what they do better is AF and video.

These are fantastic until u need longer lasting battery, faster shutters or faster AF (XT30/XT4 owner not some random canon dumbo)

Well, there's probably some truth in that - but then again, every machine has its limits which, sooner or later, you'll come up against!

I ask myself to switch, i have a very good gx80 with 35 100 f2.8 and if I buy a xt1/xt2, it probaby will be with a 18 55. Ok it is an amazing lens, but i'm not sure it is better than a 35 100 f2.8. This lens is the only reason why i keep my gear... For the moment !

I know exactly how you feel - I'm going to have to sell one of these and it will probably be the X-T1, with its slightly nicer stills, as the X-T2 is so much better at video.

An other main difference is the Shutter speed and the low light noise difference. XT1 has better low light images with less noise, Xt2 Faster shutter speed 8000 vs 4000 the XT1 has gained popularity among the Cameras considered as a Retro Opportunity camera, however the XT2 is still a more capable and you get more shots that are keepers 😊

Those X-T1 files are gorgeous - that bit nicer, imo, than the 2, though the difference is marginal.

I had the XT-1 about 5 months ago because the price was appealing, but after a few days spent with it, it’s incredibly outdated, so opted for the slightly newer yet still affordable XT-20 and I think it’s a good balance and still holds it own against my A7iii
