I jumped on an x-t1 two months ago as my first step into mirrorless.

I like my cameras to be built like tanks, honestly. I keep it on a cross body sling most of the time so I feel the more rugged body will handle bumps and smacks a lot better. The weather and dust sealing means I can use this anywhere without the need to completely baby it.

Do not discredit the EVF. The xt1's EVF is a huge reason I chose it above the xt20, besides the better build quality. Especially if you want to consider adapting vintage glass, this is a big factor to consider.

It comes down to whether you need the extra MP or slightly better AF and tech wizardry. For me 16mp is enough. For most people (especially hobbyists) I suspect it'll be sufficient, too. But to each their own!

I've made the decision to look at an xt2 upgrade in a few years and stay behind a cycle and a bit.

Cheers,

A very happy recent purchaser of an xt1
