5 Reasons You Should Consider Buying a Fujifilm X-T1 Camera in 2019: "An Affordable Gem"

The Fujifilm X-T1 has been around for half a decade and has been succeeded by two other models – the X-T2 and X-T3 – but it's still an excellent mirrorless camera, according to photographer Mattias Burling. In fact, he calls the Fujifilm X-T1 an "affordable gem," that's worth buying today.

In the below video, Burling gives five reasons to buy a Fujifilm X-T1 in 2019. "Following the release of the X-T2 and X-T3, a used X-T1 is worth almost nothing," he says. "In money, that is. As a photographer's tool, it can still be very valuable."

According to Burling, he's seen used X-T1s available for as little as $200. While we haven't spotted that low price, on Amazon you can get a used Fujifilm X-T1 for $370.

Here are Burling's five reasons you should consider buying the Fujifilm X-T1 today:

#1 Image Quality

#2 Price

#3 Full Controls

#4 Tilt Screen

#5 Performance

"A fully featured, snappy camera that spits out gorgeous looking images for less than $300, what's not to like?" he asks.
