What a lucky chap, but then I suppose that’s what Andrew does all the time:
have new cameras loaned to him for review.
But I’m not sure how you might have got the impression that the X-T1 has a
large body, Brian. I reckon that it’s very similar in size and shape to an
OM4. And the EVF must have been set up for your friend’s preference as I don’t
reckon that it’s at all dim.
But did he like it?
I recognise that view of photos as I’m a bit like that myself. I have bought
photos, at exhibitions, but normally I think that I’ll go away and do better .
