Fujifilm X-T1

Top Pro

You can put your most often used menu options in a separate menu tab called My Menu for quick access. See More

Top Con

AF tracking in continuous shooting is highly lens dependent

With some lenses the tracking is fast and the hit-rate is high while others give highly inconsistent results.
