I'm having some serious GAS for this.... I think it could be the one that makes me test the mirrorless waters. I'd been considering migrating to full-frame with a 6D, but I think the size has me sold as a travel kit. Anyone tried one out yet?
Everything I've read has had people praising the AF. Speedy and even able to track oncoming subjects in servo mode. It's a hybrid system I believe, using phase detection when needed. Still suffers battery issues like the other mirrorless systems, but its to be expected I guess. The EVF is supposed to be 2nd to none. This coupled with their 18-55 f/2.8-4 kit lens would seriously lighten the load my upcoming trip. I heard the primes are amazing as well, but they'd be out of my reach until I sell some of my Canon gear.
Another major selling point for me is the option of using the tilting LCD when needed for taking photos at low angles. I'm a viewfinder shooter and it's my first requirement for a mirrorless, but live view LCD stuff can be handy when needed. Also the ability to control / shoot with my phone via WiFi opens up interesting opportunities for family portraits.
Getting settled in with the X-T1. Have managed to sell all my Canon lenses except for the Tokina 11-16 which is still listed. Picked up the 10-24 as my UWA replacement. I find myself shooting in Av more instead of full manual, and usually with Auto ISO. Also have found myself using facial detection which has proved pretty reliable. I have it mapped to function button to quickly disable if needed. As for shooting in Av vs Manual, the metering is usually spot on for me. When using facial detection, more weight is given to the facial area making the metering pretty reliable. The WYSIWYG EVF w/ histogram lets you know right where you are. Manual focal point selection is still cumbersome for me without lowering the camera, but I'm working around it / getting use to it. Just a week out now and debating on grabbing a EF-20 flash as a small TTL solution I can use with my coiled remote cord. I went with an Op/Tech Mirrorless Sling as a strap. Was a really big fan of their Utility Sling on my 7D and really liking this one as well. Excited about using this kit for our upcoming trip!
On a side note, Zack Arias has a video posted with his experiences and tips with the X-T1 in his recent Morocco travels:
how about the sale on the Zeiss touit lines... basically two lenses for the price of one

You should be able to convert your raws to DNG using the free converter Adobe provides, and those DNG's can be edited in anything adobe makes (even older versions)...

that didn't work for me when I had an XPro1 for a short time... it was pretty annoying
I've heard that it's hit or miss. I was able to do it with Nikon Raw's from the D7100, but my friend with a D5300 wasn't as lucky. It makes no sense as to why it wouldn't work, seeing how the DNG converter is using the SAME raw engine that is bundled with LR/PS (in fact its updated the same day), and DNG is adobe's "Universal" format.
