Fuji XT-1 first shots

I couldn't be more excited to get my hands on the newest camera from Fuji. By now, I'm sure you've read dozens of reviews on this camera. There is nothing like getting it in your hands for yourself and loading the images into your computer. This week was crazy, I worked nearly 50 hours not including my "other" projects I have going. The first night I got it ready, I just didn't feel like moving out of my chair, so I didn't. You shoot what's close from where you are, in this case the lens shade to the 60mm macro I was shooting with.

Not impressed? What if I told you this is 12,800 ISO SOOC? Does that work for you? It works for me, I couldn't believe how clean this image is. Next up is the remote for some selective focus and wide open black areas, same setting.

In the store I was showing the camera to a customer. Her daughter was all happy in her stroller, so I took a picture. OK, again it ain't art, but it is hand held at 1/8 second! (400 ISO f4) I am 57 years old and there is no way I should be able to get this shot, but with the fabulous image stabilization in the Fuji lenses, it is tack sharp. Again, SOOC, zero post production. I'm not 100% sure, but it appears they've tweaked the Astia Film setting, it is super neutral and has a beautiful look, that's what I chose here.

As the sun was setting I noticed that beautiful late afternoon golden glow. I grabbed the camera and ran across the street to photograph the buildings there.

I am super stoked about this camera and there will be one in my arsenal in the very near future! They are short supply and probably will be because of the super reasonable price of $1299.00 for the body only!

I was able to shoot this thanks to the kindness of a customer that let me use his before he took it home! Thank you so much Bill, I appreciate this more than I can say. (my wife may not be quite as appreciative)
