The X-T1 is a blindingly good camera, worthy of world-class shutter operators. If there’s one complaint, it’s the lack of in-camera image stabilisation. If you’ll allow us another, there’s the price of Fujifilm’s X-mount lenses. You’ll get beautiful glass, but covering off a decent focal range will take you well over a grand on top of the body cost. We’re not overly concerned about the lack of a touchscreen, but there are plenty of people who enjoy tap-to-focus, and for them the E-M1 will be a better option. To answer the initial question of whether the X-T1 can shoot the Olympus E-M1 off the top spot: not quite, but there’s very little in it. READ MORE: The 10 Best System Cameras in the World right now
