I've sold off all my DSLR gear, and ditched it completely. For the longest time I've loved FujiFilm as far as when I was a kid. Today when taking film photography I still use there film rolls on my LOMO LC-A+ Russian lenses. I'm not getting paid; just a passion hobby. My opinion on DSLR was that it is too bulky, heavy, and taking it around is just babysitting hassle (especially when being in the moment is more important). For 5 years I've used it as a learning tool into digital photography, and now I'm pretty accelerated in the art. The epiphany that got me past the borderline was that I was not getting most of the shots the way I wanted them to be, that they did not have the 'feel' the 'color' the 'sexiness'. Perhaps I just like the Fuji mojo look and sure I can attempt to reproduce the look in Light-room or Photoshop, but it wasn't the same, it was the never the same. You see carrying a DSLR around my area is more of the HIP thing with us teens. Carrying one would mean your some tumbler kid that takes cool photos (mind you most like to use auto mode) and if you had one you deemed as taking pro shots. Bottom line it an eye catcher which ruined some candid/natural shots. In addition I was not allowed to take it into many music venues, or performances due to it being professional in the eyes of the common man (hiding them deep inside massive shrubs with friends boosting me up to the highest point; discreetly inthe darkness of night), but really it was just a 60D with two prime lenses (50mm 1.4 and 28mm 2.8 IS). Most importantly the pictures I was taking was not of satisfactory, what I wanted (due to limitation of my cropped sensor 50mm combo, colors, whites, blacks, luminance, ISO sensitivity). The only thing I see a DSLR good for... in my opinion is clinical work and maybe if I were to go to the Himalayas. If I were to ever go back to DSLR. I would save-up and pick-up a Full-Frame and prime 50mm 1.2 and a 35mm
My personal preference is prime lenses, and people photography. I love to capture the natural beauty of people (their faces, and fashion). Not in a clinical environment, but outdoors, in the streets, window light, or in a well lite cafe. I love taking group photos (was limited with the crop sensor. Even though I had a 28mm, the 50mm just looked more natural and I had steps back sometimes not possible in a room, I kept the 28 for street photography, landscape, nature, video with its Image stabilization) and I love candid shots. My personal taste in aesthetically beautiful shots are those with tons of natural soft whites, luminant, uniquely soft vivid colors, and natural skin with a hint of a soft bright tone. I also love going on morning,afternoon, and evening hikes into nature. Inside a forest or a the massive landscapes of a meadow. I also like street photography. For that I go to Chicago an hour away.
You see I've always the X100S because I KNOW I can achieve my preferences with this camera. I've also seen hundreds of sample photos all over flicker from the novice to the pros. All but breathtaking, but all the sudden this X-T1 was announced?! For the similar price!
With specs similar

FUJIFILM X-T1 - Specifications | X Series | Digital Cameras | Fujifilm USA
Now I have the money to buy one of these cameras. I was locked into just buying the X100S until the announcement of the X-T1. I understand if the X-T1 has interchangeable lenses, though I would only get prime lenses. What does the X100S have over the X-T1?
Price:
Fujifilm X100S Digital Camera (Silver) 16321066 B&H Photo Video
Fujifilm X-T1 Mirrorless Digital Camera 16421452 XT1 Body B&H Photo
With the goodbye of DSLR.
I love bokeh, and I'm satisfied with X100S bokeh based off the sample pictures, and I love the results of pictures the X100S has to offer (colors, tones, whites, ISO, sharpness), but does the X-T1 take the same pictures (or can take the same) are they the same? What are the differences (aside from interchangeable) Which one would you recommend for me? Sure one is interchangeable, and I can get a Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 or 35mm, but would it be the same as the X100S combo in terms of the pictures result IQ? Please I'm stuck, I would like opinions; I just want to get back to taking pictures. I have till March (maybe the x100S will lower in price?)
