From what I hear, the OMD series has better overall AF, which may or may not prove that it's the test that matters. Still, for this Tony Northrup video, it seems that the Fujifilm X-T1 can kick it with the best of them.
Says Rudolf in this thread, "just use a little paper tape". One-ups Rudolf with photos, says Alxy, "Great idea, here, I fixed it".
I doubt Fujifilm will find as elegant a way to fix one of the huge blemishes on this otherwise excellent camera.
“If you’re happy with APS-C, you’re already in really good shape for lens selection. There’s a lot to choose from, and there’s no chance Fujifilm will abandon the format anytime soon. If you’re waiting for a a complete, compact, full frame system, it’s possible you’ll have it in a little over years after the X-Pro2 is released, provided it is in fact full frame. Fujifilm have already shown they can do it.”
Fuji VS Fuji have it right. If ~35mm full frame is the next logical step in iterating the X series, it is an important one. If you are a dyed-in-the-wood APS-C fan, you already have what you need. Stifling innovation with "FF no-no" helps no one.
According to this thread, it may be. My X-T1 (pictured above), with its impossibly recessed buttons, will go back next week for maintenance. I hope it comes back much easier to use.
Quick, painless, and responsible. This is why I throw vast sums of money behind Fujifilm.
The original issue is documented in this video.
The Horseman VCC-Pro is an interesting view camera for both medium format and smaller film and digital backs. I snatched one for a week thanks to the lovely Ms. Nitta, whom I met at this year's CP+. She set me up with Nikon mounted VCC and two large format Rodagon lenses.

It appears that the X-T1's light leaks come from the left-hand side USB and mic jacks. DPReview readers have already begun dismantling the video and its author. The problem most affects long exposures which are triggered by a cable release.
Fotodesign-rs has a wonderful, and honest, review of Fujifilm's latest. It is illustrated with liberal doses of bokeh-heavy street photography that its author, Robin, is so good at. He concludes thusly:
“Well, it’s fairly simple to summarize my findings about the X-T1. In the end it’s rather an evolution of the X-E2, wrapped in a different body, than a game changer taking over the camera world. For me, the biggest advantage is the new high-res viewfinder, which I would love to see in a X-E3. The autofocus is improved, but still lacks responsiveness compared to the competition. This might not be true for AF-C performance, but that is something I don’t care much about. The image quality hasn’t changed at all and is still very good. Video quality is still poor, so nothing has changed there either.
Even though it’s not a game changer, I really like the X-T1 and I am looking forward to using it more often this year.”
Thanks Tomen.de for putting together such a great list of X-series articles.
