In early 2011, Fujifilm launched the X100 with its fixed 23mm f/2 Fujinon lens, followed around a year later by what was considered the game changer, the X-Pro1. As the first interchangeable X-series model with its own XF-mount system of lenses, it marked an evolution that set out to target enthusiasts and professionals craving outstanding image quality from a more conveniently sized system, inspired by the classic styling of long-departed film cameras. Since 2012, Fujifilm's objective has focused on expanding the X-series with slimmed-down versions of the X-Pro1, such as the X-E1 and the more recent X-E2. Other releases included the X-M1 and X-A1, which have made inroads into the consumer end of the market, rivalling Sony's Alpha (formerly NEX) range of compact system cameras and Olympus's Pen series.</p><p>It was only a matter of time before Fujifilm refocused on its premium range, and with many expecting the rumoured X-Pro2 to be next off the production line, the launch of the Fujifilm X-T1 has caught some by surprise. Sitting between the X-Pro1 and X-E2, the X-T1 breaks away from the rangefinder design we're used to seeing and marks the company's first attempt at an SLR-shaped body within the X series. It's hard not to be impressed by its styling and panache - and combined with these are a host of features adopted from the company's stunning X-E2.Fujifilm X-T1 - Features</p><p>The APS-C-sized, X-Trans CMOS II sensor in the X-T1 has a 16.3-million-pixel effective resolution, and is the same sensor as that used in the recent X-E2. With a structure more akin to film, the X-Trans CMOS II chip is proven at keeping moire and false colour to a minimum, eliminating the need for an anti-aliasing filter. The dimensions of the sensor (23.6x15.6mm) place it between the micro four thirds sensors used on cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7, and full-frame sensors like that found in the Sony Alpha 7 and Nikon's Df DSLR.</p><p><a href="http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/reviews/compactsystemcameras/129481/1/fujifilm-x-t1-review-preview">Keep reading...</a></p>
