If you have any interest in this camera then take a look here. http://www.fujirumors.com/first-look-fujifilm-x-t1/ http://www.fujirumors.com/category/news/ I think it looks like a very nice camera but AF performance will probably not be as good as a Nikon DSLR but image quality will be as good. If you dont need fast AF e.g. you dont do sports or action photography then this will probably work well for you.

But I am not even sure it's the camera you would WANT to use for a sporting action event...you probably need longer lenses than the X range offers to 'reach' the subject. I would just like it to have DSLR all round responsiveness ...to avoid missing general shots! At the end of the day I need to feel one in the hand before I can say whether it's a body I would go with. So I won't be preordering! But I can see and read about some features that might make it a better shooting experience than the XE1. Can't wait to feel one.....but I will.

I did wonder about that but Fuji are promising a longer telephoto in the future. Currently there is the 50-230mm zoom (75-34mm on FX) but it is a slow lens f6.3 at its max zoom. I think a f4 lens would be minimal value I would want. One advantage is that for really long use I have the Kipon adapter for AFS G or AFD lenses that allows me to put all my Nikon glass on the camera but then you are into manual focus but for long lenses I tend to prefer that. My Nikon 400mm f2.8 AFS becomes a 600mm f2.8

The focal length remains the same but the perceived FOV changes so you get a x1.5 focal length effect with the lens on a DX sensor. That is why that Samyang 8mm on the Fuji is so tempting as it is an equivalent to a 12mm on a FX sensor.

I think that the quality of the Fuji is probably similar to the Nikon. However the AF responsiveness of the DSLR is definitely ahead of the current Fuji cameras, whether the new XT1 can bridge that gap is another thing. Only user testing will tell but early tests by Rico seem positive. If you remember the early AF speed on the film Nikons (F80, F4, F100 ) we are somewhere close to that with current X series camera the new XT1 may be the F801 equivalent (acceptable but not super quick) but not a D1, D2X or D3. Personally whilst I acknowledge that the various AF modes have contributed to improved overall speed and accuracy but I dont think the actual AF speed itself has greatly improved since the D1 if you consider AF-D lenses, AFS lenses have made the focussing faster.

I have the Samyang 8mm f3.5 fisheye T3.8 which is the is the video/still version of the 8mm but with gear focus and clickless T stops. It also has a removable lens hood so that it doesn't vinette on FX cameras. It preforms much better than the auxiliary fisheye adaptors sold on eBay and is rated better than some of the other highly priced fisheyes. On DX cameras there is a full frame 12mm immage while on FX there is a fisheye effect. You must be careful or your feet show up in youe pictures. Attachment: Image00001a.jpg (Downloaded 31 times)

Well I have my XT1 camera and have been using it the last three days. I am very pleased with the way it works and its speed of AF. Not sure if it is as fast as my Nikons with the af but I need to test them side by side to be sure. Whoops the image needs rotating, I cant do that on my ipad.
