Fujifilm X A1 Mirrorless Digital Camera Review

I use the on my Canon EOS M mirrorless digital camera works good. all is well.

Fujifilm is taking mirrorless cameras to new levels. Other camera manufacturers will be catching up for years.

Have used a Canon A1 film camera for many years and then everything went digital so caved in and bought a little Casio 4mp point 'n' shoot that has worked quite well for what it is. Decided that it really is time to upgrade my film Canon to digital so bought an SL1 with an 18-55mm IS STM kit lens + a 55-250mm IS STM telephoto. So far, after limited use, they have performed very well. Everything really is light, compact and so quiet compared to my A1. Working to adapt some of my older, good quality lenses to use with it. Still working my way round all of the options but so far I'm enjoying playing with it. I'm sure that there will be aspects that will prove not to be so good after I've had a chance to explore all of the features, but it really is so far so good. They really should include an SD card (even if small) with the system. Not realizing that one wasn't included, I had to head off to get one before I could take a few shots. But then that made me get a 32GB card so now I have plenty of shooting memory. BTW, interaction with B&H was good so I've decided to get a few additional items through them.

I purchased this case for my Fujifilm mirrorless camera and lenses. It's a sturdy, well-built case with latches that feel solid when closing. I was able to fit my X-T2, 4 prime lenses, a 55-200 zoom, and a bunch of accessories with some room to spare. I can also fit my 15 MacBook Pro in the Think Tank sleeve although the lack of padding at the corners may be a problem for bumpy rides. It's a great case!

I've watched this camera for years because I've known that Fujifilm mirrorless cameras are quality and reproduce color best. I was finally able to purchase the camera and I'm thrilled to have it.

I purchase a used Pentax Spotmatic film camera recently with a couple of lenses. This adapter allows me to use the Pentax lenses on my Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. It works perfectly, is well made and lightweight. If you are looking to adapt vintage lenses to your current system this is an excellent solution.

I sold off my Canon 5D3 and L-lenses five years ago to begin a migration to mirrorless. Among the mirrorless options available at the time, Fujifilm appeared to have the best line-up of high quality, affordable, and fast prime and zoom lenses. I am not pedantic about FF vs. APS-C, as long as the camera system is usable in low light and has lenses covering all the classic FF equivalent focal lengths. So, I began investing in Fuji glass and purchased an X-T1 to shoot it with. The X-T1, a charming camera in many ways, fully met my image quality expectations. However, it fell short in terms of overall camera responsiveness. When it got the shot, the results were impressive, but the shutter and viewfinder lag along with an overall camera sluggishness meant plenty of missed shots. Fujifilm has a reputation for being responsive to customer needs, so I waited patiently for them to address what in my opinion were the biggest limitations of their earlier cameras. Now, with the X-T3, I feel like Fujifilm has finally delivered on the promise of mirrorless. They have produced a camera that responds more like a DSLR than a 1980s programmable calculator. It meets my needs in every area that is important to my photography: rugged build, weather sealing, usable ISO 12800, fast and reliable operation all at price, weight and size appreciably less than its FF competitors. I am delighted with my purchase. Note that I shoot mostly events and some sports, so features such as IBIS are not particularly important to my work. If your shooting requires image stabilization, or if you need a full frame sensor, or if it is important to have the very latest and greatest technology in your camera, then the X-T3 is likely not the best option for you. On the other hand, I find it difficult to imagine a real world shooting situation where I would not be able to get the shot using an X-T3. That is not something I could say about just any camera.

I couldn't be more happy with my switch over to mirrorless/Fujifilm (previous Nikon user). Excellent performance and handling (I love the tactile shutter/ISO/exposure/aperture settings), and a wonderful feeling in the hand. It has great out of camera JPEGs suitable for casual social media/web use, but I still shoot RAW+JPEG in case I want to make more detailed tweaks. This camera has encouraged me to go out and create every day, and I look forward to improving my photography skills even further with the X100V.

I shoot with two cameras a Nikon D 800 and a mirrorless fujifilm XT-2 I use the Pixi Mini Table top Tripod for the lighter Mirrorless XT-2. It works well and is to say the least very easy to use. It also fits well in a corner of the ole camera bag. I would give this Tripod an A+ Although for my large camera I still use a standard Tripod and ball head, but that camera has heft and weight.

For my mirrorless Fujifilm X-E3 (which is quite light) it works fine and looks great. It's very flexible and doesn't take up a ton of room in the bag - maintains the compact nature of the camera, which I like. For a heavy camera, it would be too narrow. But for a light camera, it's great.
