There is NO percieveable lag in the viewfinder, I would suspect the lag is insignificant compared to the average persons response time

If you think they are expensive - compare

Autofocus seems to "chatter" just slightly before locking in, as compared to Nikon's autofocus which seems to jump directly to the focus point.(3

Nice EVF and EVF optionsCON:- Build quality feels suspect compared to OM-D- Apart from manual dials, handling

The entire Fujifilm line of cameras, as well as the Fujinon lenses (yes, the cameras are called "FujiFILM" even though most Fuji cameras do not use film, and the lenses are called "FujiNON;" the entire imaging division is a part of the larger company, Fuji Heavy Industries) seem simply to rack up one stellar review after another, and this ranges all the way from the entry level X-A1 camera (which knocks out some superlative photos in spite of being a cheap-o camera with a cheap-o kit lens) all the way to XPro1 and X-T1 models, which are much more expensive, and aimed at a different audience

These lenses are so good that even when I shoot with my cheap-o X-A1 entry level Fuji camera, the results can be extraordinary

Picture quality is as good as

As a bonus, I can use my Minolta lenses with an adapter (in MF mode) and they are just as sharp as they were on my DSLR.Well done Fuji.

That is what lured me into the Fuji system is the excellent optics, the 35 1.4 is every bit as sharp as the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 which i owned for years, but costs a fraction of the price (different lens different purposes i know, but the idea remains the same)

Sony and Olympus both make fantastic gear, i love all brands, my raving about the XT-1 should not be viewed as an attack on these fantastic cameras, to be honest though, I have yet to hold a mirrorless camera from ANY brand that feels as good as

It seem that Kaisen in this case was castrating the camera and then release firmware upgrades to un-castrate it... at least after (almost) one year of releasing the camera it will work as it should (which is best than other manufacturers)

The Dynamic Range on the camera is not the greatest as I shoot RAW and post

and I believe the XT-1 is as close as I can get to a mirrorless camera that is even close to the M9.Important features for me: having the portability of a light camera, access to a majority of the manual controls at my fingertips without having to navigate a menu, possibility of changing lenses, and as large a sensor as I can afford

My initial impressions, very disappointed as you can imagine, receiving a defective new 1900 USD camera (body+35mm) plus the following issues (known or not):The D-pad is bad!, small, too difficult to press, no tactile feedback when pressing, and the front/back dials are also difficult to feel, to find and to move... as most buttons really (contrary to the dials)
