>>3084743>Would the xt1 be a good camera to learn on?As long as you are aware of it's limitations, yes.
The autofocus is slow on the XT-1 body, and Fuji does weird things to their jpegs. Some swear by it, but if you prefer more neutral colors you will be disappointed.
Fuji raws are also a pain to work with, they must be converted before you can do anything with them.
And to be honest, it isn't that much smaller than a DSLR. It is not pocketable by any definition of the word, and you will pretty much need a bag that could fit your DSLR to bring it with you anywhere (pic related).
You'd probably be better of upgrading your current body or picking up some lenses.
Or hell, picking up an old manual film camera and using it to learn the exposure triangle. A properly scanned 35mm film negative has just as much detail as the best digital sensor. Plus there is just something nice about the tactile feel of flicking the film advance lever and handling film spools.
