Just like the other Fujifilm X-Series cameras, the X-T1 lets you choose from a variety of “film simulation” modes, that will impact the look of the JPEG that will be output by the camera’s engine (obviously no impact on the RAW file). Let’s have a look at all the different film simulation choices that are available.

VELVIA/VIVID

ASTIA/SOFT

So what do you think of the different film simulation modes? Which ones do you use and for what kind of pictures?

I will be back soon with more infos/articles on the Fujifilm X-T1, meanwhile if you liked this article share it with your friend, subscribe to this blog to be notified when I publish new content, or follow me on Twitter @greenbalbo. Talk to you soon…

Fujifilm latest X-Series cameras are well known for their quality of image at high ISO, and the X-T1 is no different, as quality of image remains the priority rather than joining the race for more Megapixels… All the images below are JPEGs as processed by the camera with all the default settings. The last 3 images are not native ISOs (H ISO mode, available in JPEG only), and the quality deteriorates sharply there, but the noise is well managed up to ISO 6400. Click on each image to enlarge it if you wan to pixel peep 🙂

X-T1 ISO 800

X-T1 ISO 1600

X-T1 ISO 3200

X-T1 ISO 6400

X-T1 ISO 12800

X-T1 ISO 25600

X-T1 ISO 51200

So how does this compare with the X-E2? Same thing, click on each image if you want to enlarge it. Note that there is no 51200 High ISO on the X-E2, but given the way it looks on the X-T1 it does not really matter…

X-E2 ISO 800

X-E2 ISO 1600

X-E2 ISO 3200

X-E2 ISO 6400

X-E2 ISO 12800

X-E2 ISO 25600

So what do you think, are you satisfied with the way the noise was handled in those samples? Do you see any difference between the X-T1 and X-E2? The sensor is the same, but Fuji claims that some tweaks on the circuits should improve the quality of the image on the X-T1… Leave me a comment below with your thoughts.
