XT1 or XT10

[Blake10]

Need some help here. New to Fuji. I have some experience with Cameras. Not a lot but some. I had a Canon t4i and a Panasonic G5. I really liked both. Sold the Canon and working on selling the G5. I have been doing quite a bit of research and really like the Fuji colors and also most of the pictures I have seen. My questions are? How hard is it to learn the Fuji system? The Menus? I read somewhere that the Fuji xt! is difficult to learn for someone who has little knowledge about Fuji. I can get either for about the same price.  I shoot everything. When I take my Camera with me. If I see something that catches my eye I take a picture. So I really dont shoot just one thing. Just depends on where Im at. Which would you buy? Thanks for any response. Im also in the US if that matters.

I came from Nikon and have not found the menu too difficult.  The manual dials and methods in the Fuji keeps you out of the menus.  Everything I need is in the Quick menu. Mostly I change the film simulation, I like to see B&W in the viewfinder, but shoot Raw+Fine.  I get better composition that way.  Also use the timer for long exposure.  Other things like face detection and image shape/size are assigned to other buttons.  Sometimes I want square format and face detection quickly.

 

If you shoot frequently then you will nail down the menus quite fast and, like I said above, the Fuji dials keeps you out of the menu anyway.

 

My X-T1 is almost always in Aperture priority with minimum shutter at 1/100 and maximum ISO at 6400.  B&W film simulation to get monochrome EVF and focus on manual, but using back-button with blue focus assist.  That covers most every situation no matter what lens is on or how the light is coming in. Put it to my eye, use the D-pad to select focus point, hit the AF back-button and use the blue outline to be sure I got what I want and pull the trigger.  Super fast and always right.

 

Menu?  What menu?  LOL

Not difficult at all. Once you have setup the camera, you hardly need the menu. That is at least true for the X-T1.

Definitely the X-T1, every time.

I'm a long time Canon user and recently picked up the X-T10. Prior to purchasing, I had the Sony A6000. I can tell you that it was very easy to learn and one thing I appreciated most was the simplified menu system of Fuji compared to Sony. Most of all, I really enjoy shooting with this camera. The retro look, all the dials...I'm really enjoying it. Not to mention the awesome colors it produces. 

 

As far as why I went w/ the X-T10 vs T1, this is more of a leisure/back up camera for me and from everything I read, the X-T10 is pretty much identical without weather sealing and perhaps smaller. But I personally don't think you can go wrong either way.

Don't overlook the X-E2(s) ... more ergonomic than the X-T10 for me.

I was 30 years with Nikon and shifted to XT-1, menus are very clear. Its like the old saying, once you know a system it is easy. But I hardly use the menus at all, everything that is important is on top [emoji23]

Shutter, Aperture, ISO all available without going into the menu. Love that I can set the camera parameters without even turning it on.
