Fujifilm X-T1 Sample Images

Full-resolution sample images from the Fujifilm X-T1 — the 2014 16MP X-Trans classic — in real-world shooting. It’s long discontinued and a popular used buy; these show what its files look like.

The Fujifilm X-T1 was one of the earliest top-shelf mirrorless cameras that took interchangeable lenses. There have been several newer models, and Fujifilm has built the Fujifilm X-T# series into a formidable range of cameras. Interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras have come to dominate the market and production plans of the major camera manufacturers. But when the X-T1 came out, interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras were still quite a novelty.

The X-T# series cameras are especially well known for excellent video performance. But my focus in reviewing the X-T1, back when it was released, was in its performance as a stills camera.

So here’s a collection of photos I shot with the Fujifilm X-T1. These are designed to complement my more detailed hands-on review of the Fujifilm X-T1.

Price & availability of the Fujifilm X-T1

UPDATE: The Fujifilm X-T1 was something of a breakthrough camera when it was released in early 2014, but it has now been superseded by several newer models (which are also excellent) and faces much more direct competition from the likes of Sony, Nikon, Canon, Panasonic Lumix, and Olympus / OM System.

But you can sometimes find them quite cheaply on the used market. If you’re in the market for a used copy, a good place to look is KEH, which is my go-to source of used photography gear.
