Outstanding quality - almost perfect!

STARTING POINT
I am ambitious amateur photographer, have a Nikon D800 and a Canon G11. The D800 offers an excellent service, image and build quality, however, is large and heavy, which is why I often do not take with. The G11 is relatively compact, but the recording settings are set cumbersome, the focus and shutter speed slow and the viewfinder is so imprecise that it is not effectively usable.

As a replacement for my G11 I searched long for a camera that I can have while traveling, for hiking and in the street photography here, which is very high quality, a good offer (semi-) manual operation and possible has a bayonet. With the X-T1 I have the right camera for me found.

PROCESSING
At first glance the X-T1 acts like an SLR. This is not only because of the housing shape and the right-side handle, but also the fact that the electronic viewfinder is not left as yet been placed in X-E2 and the X100s, but housing is mounted centrally.

Immediately notice the excellent build quality of the casing. The high quality rubber handle is ergonomically designed and elaborated. He touches his beautiful and acts in no way cheap. Even after prolonged operation at a time with wet fingers, the rubber coating is not sticky. The housing is splash-proof and is on a par with professional DSLRs. However, there is no time to lens that is splashproof.

The casing of the X-T1 weighs over 400 grams, less than half as much as the Nikon D800. The camera is in spite of its relation to a professional DSLR significantly smaller size comfortably in the hand and can be used comfortably even over longer periods.
