You can find the xt1 in the 500-700 USD range. I thought about opting for an xt1. I paid $479 for a used xt10 from Adorama and could have coughed up a couple of hundred more. However, I really wanted the smaller camera. Just to note, Rayvonn, I don't think of the lack of IS a reason to get a Fuji but I kind of like the output so I'll try to fix my own shortcomings.
