Wildlife Photography with Fuji Cameras: My First Impressions

It’s been almost exactly 10 years since Fujifilm released the X-T1. The timing of the announcement was perfect. While Canon and Nikon were a bit slow to innovate in the APS-C segment, Fujifilm offered a relatively compact, durable, good-looking body with analog dials and a 16MP APS-C sensor.

But now, onto this week’s news.

I was fortunate to find and photograph two of these species during my time in Fiji. With their extreme rarity and remote populations, almost no high-quality photographs of wild specimens are published.
