6 Months with Fuji X-T1 EDC

I’ve spent the last six months using the Fujifilm X-T1 as my Everyday Carry (EDC) camera. In an industry obsessed with spec sheets and the absolute best money-no-object gear, carrying a decade-old camera might seem counterintuitive. So, do I regret making it my primary travel and daily companion? Yes and no. In this video, I break down why the X-T1 is still an incredibly inspiring tool today. From its compact size that slips perfectly into a day pouch, to the satisfaction of straight-out-of-camera JPEGs that keep me out of Lightroom after a long day, it offers something modern bodies often miss. Using this camera is like driving a vintage Porsche 911: it lacks the telepathic speed of modern tech, but it makes up for it in pure mechanical tactility and soul. If you want a realistic take on whether older gear is genuinely usable or just nostalgic, this review covers the good, the frustrating, and the reason this camera has earned a permanent spot on my shelf. 📷 Gear from this video on Amazon: Fujifilm X-T1: https://amzn.to/4rV1tIK Fujifilm X-T1 SD Card (reliable, affordable): https://amzn.to/3O4vFlx TTArtisan 27mm f2.8 (great EDC auto focus lens): https://amzn.to/40gAhrI TTArtisan 25mm f2 (great EDC manual lens): https://amzn.to/4lkxMhJ 7Artisans 18mm f/6.3 (ultra-compact pancake lens shown on the camera throughout the video): https://amzn.to/3NeDm8N
