 Nikon D5500 vs Fujifilm X-T1, the Nikon D5500 is recently announced camera whereas the X-T1 is approx 1 year old and waiting for an update.
Sensor
The Fujifilm features 16.3MP APS-C CMOS image, the sensor is built with X-Trans bespoke pixel array, it actually eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter for reducing moiré and aliasing.
The Nikon D5500 features 24.2 MP sensor, EXPEED 4 processor and the best thing is the Nikon D5500 also doesn’t have low-pass filter. So by having more resolution the Nikon have upper hand here.
AF System:
The Nikon D5500 features 39 distinct AF points, including nine cross-type sensors, but unfortunately the AF point is active only when you are using viewfinder, while you are using the live view and video mode, the contrast based system is active.
The X-Trans AF sensor features built-in phase AF pixels, hence it features advance Intelligent Hybrid AF for quick, responsive autofocus system that is fully active all the time, either you are using viewfinder, display or while recording videos.
Hence Fuji features advance AF system compared to the Nikon D5500.
Fast Continuous shooting speed: Due to bit small resolution and small sensor the Fujifilm X-T1 canon record 16MP stills at a speed of 8 fps whereas the D5500 24 MP still are limited to 5fps.
The first and foremost thing what the user is look on the rear side is the screen of camera. If you check out the Nikon D5500, the display screen has 3.2″ rear screen swivel touch LCD whereas Fujifilm X-T1 has 3″ touch screen swivel OLED.
CIPA of camera denotes that after full charge of battery how many shots can be captured by camera. Nikon D 5500 can capture around 820 shots whereas Fujifilm X-T1 can capture only 350 shots.
If we talk about the weight of the cameras then we can check that there is minimal difference of weight in both the cameras. As The Nikon D5500 is 420g whereas Fujifilm X-T1 has approx of 440g.
Conclusion: The overall specification of both cameras is good. It depends on the consumer that for which purpose they want to purchase the camera. If we talk about the mega pixel, display screen and battery life then Nikon D5500 give cut throat competition to Fujifilm X-T1. But if we look in to auto focus points / Hybrid AF and Fast continuous shooting speed then we prefer Fujifilm X-T1 , so the choice is yours.

 Megapixel: The Canon EOS 7D Mark II is built with more megapixel as compared to Fujifilm X-T1, so the 7D Mark II is capable of producing high-resolution, well-detailed still imagery and HD videos.
Bigger Sensor Size: The BIT large sensor size of Fujifilm X-T1 makes it capable to acquire more light while shooting images, But does the result will show significant difference compared to 7D Mk II is still a question until we see image comparison.
The NO-OLPF benefit – The Fujifilm X-T1 is designed with a randomized pixel pattern to eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter whereas Canon EOS 7D Mark II includes an optical low-pass filter. Due to the absence of low pass filter Theoretically the images produced by Fujifilm X-T1 will be more clear and will have a better depth of color when compared with the images produced by Canon EOS 7D Mark II at 100%.
More AF Points: Canon EOS 7D Mark II Fast Hybrid AF system utilizes altogether 65 AF points but Fujifilm X-T1 offers just 49 AF points. So, it is clear that Canon EOS 7D Mark II will do fast and accurate focusing than Fujifilm X-T1.
Better Shutter Range: Canon EOS 7D Mark II features a shutter range of 30 – 1/8000 whereas Fujifilm X-T1 features shutter range of 30- 1/400. With a better shutter range Canon EOS 7D Mark II delivers incredibly sharp and crisp images in comparison to Fujifilm X-T1.
Top Continuous shooting speed: Canon EOS 7D Mark II features fast shooting speed of 10fps and Fujifilm X-T1 offers the top continuous speed of 8fps.
Video Mode – Almost same in both with Full HD @ 60fps
Battery Life (CIPA): With Canon EOS 7D Mark II 800 shots can be taken in one battery cycle and on the other hand Fujifilm X-T1 battery rating is 350 shots. (According to CIPA).
Dimensions: Fujifilm X-T1 is smaller Canon EOS 7D Mark II so it is more handy to use.
Weight: Fujifilm X-T1 is almost half in weight as compared to Canon EOS 7D Mark II.
High ISO TEST
 Image analysis – We are not able to notice any major difference in the image quality of both the camera. But yes Canon is showing bit better images with less noise.
