Fujifilm’s latest X-series camera is its least expected yet. Infrared landscapes have always been a fascination of mine; seeing a native IR-optimized sensor from a large manufacturer holds quite a bit of promise.

Last year Fujifilm announced the X-T1 which at the moment is the company’s flagship mirrorless camera, and based on all the reviews of the camera so far, is probably one of the better and understated models available in the market today. In other words, the XT1 IR can capture things which humans cannot see with their naked eye. Infrared imaging is critically important in these fields because it allows users to see information that is not visible to the human eye. The remaining specs are the same as original X-T1 like there is an EXR Processor II, a max ISO range of 25,600 and a weather-resistant shell. Its X-Trans image sensor is sensitive to light from 380-1,000nm, which includes the ultraviolet (UV) and IR spectrum. It’s a sturdy camera, constructed from magnesium alloy, that can shoot in all types of weather thanks to its sealed design.

The X-T1 IR focuses on both excellent image quality as well as delivering incredible speed. At up to 8 frames per second, the X-T1 IR is fit for any specialized workplace in need of first-rate photo quality, durability and performance.
