GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Film Photography Enthusiasts & Fujifilm X-Mount Collectors — X-Pro1 (2012): The camera that started it all — slow, imperfect, and still uniquely loveable for the quality of images it produces.
Street, Travel & Documentary Photography — X-T1 (2014): The camera that put Fujifilm back on the map — weather sealed, a class-leading EVF, physical dials, and X-Trans colour that earned a generation of loyal fans.
Who should buy what
X-Pro1 (2012)
- Film photographers who want a digital camera with genuine analogue soul
- Fujifilm fans who want to shoot the camera that started the X-mount legacy

X-T1 (2014)
- Photographers entering the Fujifilm X-mount system at the lowest possible price
- Street and documentary photographers who value physical controls and OVF-like experience
