One Good-Lookin' Camera

One Good-Lookin' Camera

Fujixt1silver There are two kinds of people in the world—those who like the way cameras look, and those who like to pretend it doesn't matter because they're just tools. (The cameras are tools, I mean, not the photographers who...oh, never mind. I'm mixed up tonight. It's tired and I'm late. Wait....)


Anyway, if you're one of the former group, you probably agree that Fuji makes some pretty great looking cameras. (Oren doesn't agree. He thought the X100—the X100T is the current iteration—is ugly. I don't; I like it a lot.) The lovely thing above is the Fuji X-T1 Graphite Silver, which is $300 more than the regular old black version. It's beautiful, IMO.


It's also smaller in real life than it probably looks onscreen.

With older cameras, when faced with a choice of silver or black, collectors tend to favor more highly whichever is less common. Sometimes that's silver, sometimes it's black.


The X-T1 is not the fastest camera in the world to operate, but it's a lot of fun to use. It encourages you to just go play around with it. I've been enjoying it. Wish I'd gotten that silver one. Though I couldn't have justified the extra cost. They're just tools though, it doesn't matter what they look like.
