Thanks for expressing your valid poin...Hi Philip, <br /><br />Thanks for expressing your valid points. I am 100% in agreement with everything you said. If you notice, I haven't reviewed any of Fuji's telephoto lenses, and even the 56mm f/1.2 is considered 'telephoto' for me as a street photographer. In fact, anything above 50mm equiv for me feels telephoto as I'm use to being close to my subjects. <br /><br />I think the X-T1 is the body that is geared towards a DSLR replacement, and its pretty good. However, I've moved away from DSLRs since I've stopped shooting sports and weddings, so I'm not the best person to ask if the X-T1 can replace similar spec'd DSLRs. I still have a full DSLR kit (Minolta-Sony) but I've been slowly selling off lenses over the years. The advantages of the DSLR does not compensate its weaknesses, such as size, weight, price. <br /><br />If I had to choose only a single camera to travel the world and price was no issue (in a way, I can borrow any Leica or Fuji or a few other brands if I wish) I too would probably choose the Fujifilm X100T. A close second would be my Ricoh GR. I'm off to Hong Kong in less than 2 weeks, and these two cameras are coming with me (plus a Leica, but I don't know which one yet!) My DSLR stays home, even though I have amazing lenses (Minolta 1st gen G-series primes and f/2.8 zooms).<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment. Let's hope the upcoming Fujifilm X-Pro 2 will blow us away, although we can pretty much guess 80% of the upgrades (hybrid of X-T1 and X100T and maybe a few unique functions).<br /><br />Happy shooting!<br /><br />BHTBigheadtacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287168567380301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-56753223197458803312014-11-07T04:20:28.649-08:002014-11-07T04:20:28.649-08:00These are great cameras and I love my X100s (I had...These are great cameras and I love my X100s (I had the earlier model and took many great shots with it). However, there is till too much that is fiddly and dinky with these cameras when using the longer lenses (55-200). I have had them all X-Pro1, X-E1 etc and blown a lot of money and time in the process. I will never sell my D3x and replace it with a Fuji. I am not bagging Fuji, because if I had to choose only one camera for my world travels, it would be the X100s. However, for the work that I do, it will always be my D3x with 70-200 and my X100s for everything else. philip suttonhttp://philipsuttonphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-76467072531662017052014-11-06T10:23:02.054-08:002014-11-06T10:23:02.054-08:00Hi Dave,

Having the mini EVF for focus and exposure also makes it so that you rarely have to go into EVF mode. I have my review copy for 2 months (I'm taking it with me to Hong Kong for 3 weeks) so I'm really going to get to know this camera. Who knows, I may end up selling my beloved Ricoh GR! Thanks again for sharing!

The OVF with electronic rangefinder is really useful and I heartily prefer it over the EVF. Got to admit that I prefer the EVF on my X30 over the EVF of X100T though. Fully embracing Fujifilm now I gotta admit!Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495751177910315025.post-61913734384766751992014-11-04T09:42:19.361-08:002014-11-04T09:42:19.361-08:00Hi Don,

With the new hybrid mini EVF within the OVF feature, I can see a future for the optical viewfinder in digital photography. The X100T is a very refined camera though.
