The wait is over! Fujifilm finally debuts the weather-resistant X-T1 that boasts fastest auto-focus in its class. Known for its commitment in creating and bringing innovative products and effective solutions to contribute to the good of society and enhance the quality of life, Fujifilm takes pride to announce the cutting edge and much-longed-for X-T1. It has weather-resistant body and the fastest autofocus that will let you experience a truly remarkable photographic moment.
So what exactly do these features entail and how could they give you the best photographic experience of your life? There are too many reasons. You will find the latest generation 16-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor, an EXR Processor II, built-in WiFi, a 1.04 million dot high-precision 3-inch tempered glass tilting LCD and a wide-angle 2.36M-dot OLED EVF with the world’s premier magnification for a digital camera (0.77x) and an insanely short lag-time of only 0.005 seconds. All these are laid together inside the X-T1′s body. Its weather-sealed feature has been tested and approved so with no doubt, you can have the best moments captured in any weather condition. Rain or shine, the flash is yours.
Aside from being weather-resistant, X-T1 also has speedy features that include 0.5 second start-up time, phase detection AF that carries a response time of only 0.08 seconds, 0.05 second shutter lag and a 0.5 second shooting interval. With these, the swift X-T1 will give you a greater edge in your career. Work on your pace. Be fast with this groundbreaking product.
If you think that its remarkable features end there, you are certainly wrong. On top of the cake is X-T1’s ability to shoot at 8 frames per second with tracing AF, and is well-suited with SDXC UHS-II memory cards that boast write speeds that are about twice as fast as those of a standard SD card. It also has four EVF display modes which are the following:
- Full – shooting info doesn’t obstruct the view
- Dual -split-screen to help nail focus
- Normal and Portrait -rotates shooting info when shooting vertically
- digital split image and focus peaking capabilities, ISO 100-25600, a built-in interval timer and in-camera RAW conversion
The amazing X-T1 is yours at only $1,300 for the body and $1,700 for the camera and the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens. A weather-resistant camera needs weather resistant accessories so we’re getting a weather-resistant battery grip and three new weather-resistant zoom lenses that will come out sometime this year. For sure, you’ll love to learn more about this camera. Feel free to visit Fuji’s press room.
