Questions & Answers
Barry K : I have just received my first set of prints using X Pro1 from a large high street store. They are all very dark and the store says there is nothing they can do! Am I doing something wrong with my camera?MICHAEL A : I am not sure how best to answer your question not having seen the images, but it is more than likely a user error. First, I would check the exposure compensation dial to make sure you did not mistakenly more it. This can cause the problem.
Two, the high street store is incorrect that nothing can be done. This is where you download the images and correct with your photo-image software the exposure. Unless they are so severely underexposed, you should be able to produce useable images. Once you correct the photos then take them to the print house for processing.
I am surprised that you did not review the images as you were taking them. This would have been a guide that something may have been off. Also, were you using the OVF or the EVF? With the former you will not see the image as it will appear, but with the electronic you will. I would suggest you review the manual, and customize your viewfinder to include the compensation factor so that even if using the OVF, you will be able to see in the viewfinder if you have moved the dial. Also, make sure you have uploaded to the camera the latest camera and lens firmware. Fuji recently released updates for all equipment except the 55-200mm zoom.THOMAS R : Couple of tips: check the top exposure compensation dial, it should be on 0, unless you are compensating for the exposure. Look at the histogram to see if the exposure is normal, not with everything going to the right, in this case. secondly I am guessing you are not bringing these images into software to process, which is a must for any image. Without seeing your work in question I would suggest a basic photography class, and online study to get the most out of a wonderful camera.
As a photojournalist and adjunct professor I can promise you that basic photo education and learning camera controls will go far. You also cannot trust your monitor as it is not calibrated, but the histogram cannot lie. Each printer can be unique and for critical work there is calibration exercises and profiles.RONALD B : I concur if they look good on the camera screen you should try another print shop. My experience is that the images usually match the camera screen very closely. If another printer also comes back dark, I'd call fuji supportHERB S : Check your exposure compensation dial and make sure it's at zeroADELLA T : Without seeing the prints, I can't really say what's causing the problem. What sort of post-processing did you do? Were the images dark when you downloaded them? Could you have lightened the exposures more during post work?Barry K : Thanks Simon All OK from the LCD!Barry K : Thanks MattBarry K : Thanks Roberto I'll give them a trySHANE M : Barry are you using the histograph to check on your exposure? The in camera display tends to be a bit brighter than the actual exposure. Also are you doing any post processing of your images or are you getting prints made directly from the card?ARNOLD K : The question does not provide enough information about how the camera settings were made to offer an answer. In general, however, when a dealer says something like "there is nothing we can do" I become suspicious. I could offer more useful feedback is the questioner would send one or two files and describe how the camera is set. The Fuji manual has a lot of useful information and is difficult to read.
good luckPETER W : That's kind of a vague question. But IF the files look good on the camera's monitor they shouldn't be 'dark" once they are printed unless you did something to them in post processing.RONALD B : Without more info regarding the settings you are using, it is impossible to answer this question. I suggest starting by placing it in program mode, auto shutter and aperture, and setting auto iso to auto 6400. Set dynamic range to 100 or auto. Take a set of photos in good outdoor light. Check the resulting photos. If the are still severely under exposed there may well be a problem with the camera. Also insure the metering is set to multi segment. Good luck!Roberto R : I don't think you're doing anything wrong. If the prints do not match what you see on your monitor, then there is something wrong with the print store. I only order prints from White House Custom Colour. They are an awesome company. Don't waste your time and money with regular print stores. The xpro1 is such an amazing camera, so amazing in fact that I use it to shoot daily assignments at a newspaper. Try the print store I mentioned. At first they'll ask for you to send five images, this way you can caliber the monitor accordingly. Good luckMATT C : If the files looked good and just the prints were dark the store is completely in the wrong. Even if the files were a bit dark the can lighten them up.
If the files were extremely dark to start with ( which I doubt because why would you want them printed?) then yes, you're doing something wrong.
SIMON K : There is nothing wrong with your camera. If the photos you toke were
properly exposed, by verifying with the histogram function, and the
photo looked expectable too you on the LCD monitor, the " high street
store" is your problem. I would try using another photo service.ROBERT K : Sorry to ask an obvious question, but are the jpegs ok? If so, the problem likely lies in post-processing (or the store), not in the X Pro 1.
Shopper : Is this a fully manual focusing camera without an auto focus system? How about the metering system. ThanksHERB S : It's both. You can focus on auto or manual same thing with exposurePETER W : The camera does both.I'm a 35 year pro and gave up my Nikon dslr system to switch to this one. The camera can besomewhat quirky to get used to but produces outstanding images. The manual focusing mode works with the evf and even has a magnifier. A new software update (Fuji is excellent with those) is supposed to ad focus peaking. I predominantly use the 18-55 zoom and its autofocusing is very good, even in low light. I do think the meter is one of the few shortcomings in the camera, its not particularly useful or accurate in manual mode, but you have the display as your "polaroid". The camera isn't perfect, but I've used it for magazine covers, editorial, corporate and landscape work. I think its the best system for the money right now.TERRY B : Manual or auto focus, no problem with auto focus have not tried manual. Can use manual, or any method of auto exposure. Only problem so far is spot metering or I haven't learned it yet. Roberto R : It works well as a fully manual camera and with the latest firmware update it makes easier to manually turn the lens to focus. The autofocus however now works much better and faster, it's hard to beat it with manual.MICHAEL A : The camera has both a manual option and AF option; and, even in manual, one can hit a button to get a quick focus. The AF has improved substantially with the firmware updates that have come out over the past few months, usually a reflection of the new lenses that have been launched.
I have found the metering system to be good. I have not experienced any problems. It is worthwhile however, to fully understand all the features of both the AF and the metering system to take full advantage of the camera. To date, i have not taken a photo that could not be used and I always shoot in RAW+JPEG.TOM N : The XPRO-1 is capable of both auto and manual focusing using the Fuji lenses designed for it, or one can use lens adapters and manual focus lenses such as Leica with the camera. Metering is fully auto or a simple switch to manual mode enables one to have additional flexibility in metering. Works well either way!
Shopper : Is the X-Pro1 suitable for any aspect of wedding photography? I was considering it as a light weight alternative to a D700 when I'm done with the power shots- big groups, fast shooting and long lenses at ceremony. How well does it handle portraits, candid? Flash and low light auto focus performance? Noise?
Thank you,
F.WolffCHRISTOPHER R : I tried on a wedding shoot once. My wife was shooting with our 5D MKIII and MKII as a back-up. I was shooting with the X-Pro1 w/35mm f/1.4 mounted and a film rig. The wedding was outside in the late afternoon shaded by trees. Composed shots where I had time to focus turned out fantastic. The X-Pro1 will produce a beautiful image if the conditions are right. It all fell apart once the sun dropped. The reception was part indoor and outdoor lit by candles, chinese lanterns and string lights. The X-Pro1 struggled to find focus. I found it to be so troublesome it went back in the case and I switched to the 5D MKII. The general thing i've found with the X-Pro1 is it will not replace a mid to pro level SLR if you are used to relying on AF speed and RAW write speed. It's just not fast enough and doesn't have the low light AF range needed. The images, once you get them sharp, are remarkable considering the price and weight. Operating the camera feels very natural if you have experience with range finders and older film SLRs. If you know only modern DSLR, you may have to get used to the manual controls.DON F : The camera is great for weddings the lens make this perfect, if you don,'t mind changing the lens, DOF is easy to control and the sharpness is bar non, great for weddings if you have all the lens.ARNOLD K : I'm not a wedding photographer so I cannot answer that part of your question. The x-pro1, however, is robust, focuses fast, and is a pleasure to use. I have now sold my Leica equipment because focusing manually was becoming difficult. The x-pro1 gives the good qualities of a rangefinder-optical viewer coupled with a very good modern sensor. Its operating characteristics are why you are buying in a particular camera. The noise levels, even at iso 6400, are very good and useable.SIMON K : To answer your question, I owned a D700, great camera and recently
switched to a D800, even better camera. I had thought a larger sensor
would better suite my landscape and close-up photography, especially moving to larger print sizes. I purchased the X-Pro1 because of the weight of the D800 camera system. I also purchased all the current lenses for the x-Pro1. My experience is that for portraits, and general photos the camera is quite good. The camera is small enough that I have a tendency to carry it more often. I even had one comment that my photos looked different, in a positive sense. I was using the 35mm,f1.4 at the time. Low light focus is not as good as I would have wanted and close up work with the 60mm lens was more difficult then the D800. I have not used flash with the camera and prefer natural lighting. Noise has not been a problem, but does show up at the highest ASA settings. Color rendition and over all picture quality are very good. The only negative I found was the need for a larger selection of lenses in the telephoto range.THOMAS R : As a main camera it would cause you to weep, you seem to understand that, it is a bit of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde camera. Image quality is sharper and better in every way compared to the D3/D700, who are now showing age compared to the best available. This is the best interchangeable lens, small, portable camera period, great skin color and gown detail, even slow parts of the ceremony as the dynamic range is great. Auto focus is accurate but not as instant, compared to any popular camera available. Focus is the only week area, I would try one out if you can. Flash is same as any camera except I am not sure if it has ttl, I would use a flash on manual. The x100s is apparently faster. The camera and lenses are very light for the size, viewfinder is awesome. I use an ebay leather everready type case to keep it safe from bangs and sometimes an external handle to help hold it steady.
Other small cameras I use are the D7100, great camera but Fuji is much better image quality. I also own the Oly Em5, with the 12, 45 and 75 lenses, amazing lenses, however the image quality is nowhere near Fuji but it is amazing at fast accurate focus and the anti-shake works to help get very sharp images all the time, sometimes that is as important to the image quality.
BestNINA D : I have found low light and autofocus performance to be good, but the camera is not as responsive as your D700. I would say that it's fine for portraits, but the DSLR would outperform on candids. I use the camera mainly because it can be set to take bracketed simultaneous shots varying the ISO's...great for HDR processing. I also do not use a hot shoe mounted flash on the camera.ALEJANDRO I : Although I am not doing weddings, I've been shooting parties at night with ambient light. Using the 35 mm at 1.4 the images are extremelly good. With ISO 3200 I did not see any grain or artifacts. Bokeh is superb and skin colors are perfect. The only caveat is the sometimes is hard to lock the focus on the subject; using spot focusing the problem is almost solve; otherwise since the focus moves back and for until it locks it might risk to be slightly off. An alternative will be to use a more narrow aperture. It will be interesting to see how it will perform with the short zoom that is coming; it might give more flexibility in a wedding setting. I did not use flash at all.MICHAEL K : The x-Pro1 is a different kind of a camera than the D700, but no less good. It has similar (if not better) low light performance as the D700. You can shoot comfortable at ISO 3200. Noise is easily handled in post. In low light though, focusing--while adequate--is certainly not as sure as the D700. As far as flash is concerned, there is no built in flash, so you'll need an external flash. I have the Fuji 42 and it's a good basic flash--although it doesn't rival the better Nikon flashes and Nikon's CLS. You'll probably want to shoot in manual exposure mode when the flash is in TTL mode. I don't want this review to seem negative. Indeed the x-Pro1 is an outstanding camera that is much less intrusive than SLRs. The Fuji lenses are just great--even the 18-55mm zoom. Fuji has long known how to produce great skin tones. Plus, it's just plain fun to use. My wife uses two x-Pro1s and I use an x100s in addition to my D800. The Fuji cameras are different from the Nikon, but complement it well.SEBASTIAN K : well, auto focus isn't as good as DSRL, so you won't get the same fast response. Image quality is great for such small size, but honestly I would not bother with this camera for wedding.
It is great for travel, street photography etc, but for wedding I would still use second pro DSLR body.
Remember that for this camera you can only get few lenses so far.Roberto R : The fuji Xpro 1 is an amazing camera for wedding photography. I shot one wedding with the 35mm F1.4 lens and it was fantastic. This is the ideal camera for candid shot, they won't even notice you're there but the true strength in his camera lie in portraiture. It is flawless and I'm assuming you'll be shooting Raw and processing the shots in Lightroom? The only area where I ran into an issue was at the reception because it was so dark and the this camera, and I'll bet any camera, would have a hard time focusing. The camera works best under a contrasting scene for autofocus. In the end, to take advantage of the sensor in this camera, I personally think it works best with the 35mm f1.4 lens. I would not waste my money on another lens. I shoot for a newspaper and I constantly shoot assignments with this camera. So far, everyone I've shown the photos to are impressed that this little beauty can produce such high quality imagery. You can't go wrong with the Fuji XPRO 1.ILIA G : Im not doing any wedding photography, only landscape. My subjects dont move;) I think you can find better alternative because fuji autofocus could be too slow for it. On the same note there are some photog who used it for wedding successfully, you may give it a try. Dmitry K : I would not use XPro1 instead of my D700 for weddings. Its just too slow, unreliable for that type of shooting. AF poor in low light. IQ not better then D700. If you want a lighter package put a fixed focal lengths on the D700. Probably not what you want to hear.

Beautiful experience
I purchased this several years ago new from Adorama, and kept it for about two years. It is a beautiful camera with a unique shooting experience. The 16mp X-trans sensor renders lovely images. I found it to be extremely solid and durable despite it's light weight. I actually dropped it twice onto concrete from about 2 and 2.5 meters and it only produced a minor scratch on the bottom corner. The hybrid viewfinder is very bright and large and a marvel of engineering. I eventually sold it only to downsize to one system shared with my wife, our Nikon DSLRs. I only gave it one star less than a perfect five for one annoyance, that the effective or apparent viewfinder focal distance was different between the optical and electronic viewfinders. This was a major challenge wearing bifocal glasses, and an add-on diopter correction lens helped but did not completely solve it. I see the new XPro2 has added built-in diopter adjustment. Loved this camera, and might just pick up a used one again as they've become so inexpensive.

Not The Newest But Still Great!
Like many folks I spent many years in the SLR/ DSLR world. My introduction to Fujifilm cameras was the X-100 T. The quality of that machine made me want to build a Fuji system. I know that the new version of this camera will be out soon but I also know that it will be quite a bit more expensive. So when I saw the closeout price the decision made itself. I also bought (from Adorama) the 35mm f2.0. The build quality of this little set up takes me back to my old Nikon F3. The IQ is terrific and the firmware upgrades make it focus fast enough for me. Overall I don't think it can beat me for the money.

Excellent tool for the type of photos I take
Excellent tool for the type of photos I take. Great for street, candid, portrait and landscape. Image quality excellent with the 2 prime fugifilm lenses 35 mm 1.4,and 14 mm 2.8. I use my 2nd X Pro 1 with my 55-200 mm zoom and it also serves as my backup body. I shoot RAW, manual mode mostly. Neither camera has ever failed with use. Love the OVF feature. 1 camera and 4 lens fit neatly into shoulder bag so not a pain to lug around.

Satisfactory performance
I have had this camera for about a week, and since I have experience with the Fujifilm technology through my ownership of a Fuji X100, this one felt a bit familiar, not a big shock coming from my use of digital Nikon bodies. There are some cons and pros. I'll start with the cons so that I get them out of the way: 1) Slow wake-up time. When the camera goes to sleep (which happens fairly quickly), it takes some sweet time to get back to life. I decided to turn it off instead of letting it go to sleep, or just keep it awake by pushing the shutter release button every so often. 2) Battery life. Looks like it's a bit shorter than my Fuji X100's, and I find that alarming. My battery took about a day and a half to start showing the low battery icon, and I had played with it at home only. I recharged it for four hours this time, and will keep it under observation to see if it's really short-lived. 3) Slow AF. My kit came with two lenses, the 23mm and the 27mm. While I like the focal length of the first better than the latter, the 23mm seems to sleep on the job as far as AF is concerned. The 27mm is quick and snappy... but I've never been a fan of pancake-designed lenses, so I sold it. Now, the pros: 1) Sharp lens. The 23mm lens is SHARP beyond belief... even wide open. And it's not the camera setup (with the adjustable unsharp mask); the lens is wicked clinical... and I like that, because all the OOF areas are deliciously smooth. 2) Interchangeable lenses. That's more than enough. I own Leicas, and I like changing lenses, so this particular aspect of the X-Pro 1 was the most appealing feature to me. 3) Nice ergonomics. Despite the fact that some two buttons were placed behind the "grip" (and then to be pressed, howerver lightly, with the thumb), the camera lies and handles very easily. Also, I find the optical viewfinder quite nice, even though the magnification is just brutal (perhaps 0.6), so that compensates for all the problems mentioned above. This Adorama kit came nicely equipped. I ordered it mainly because I liked the two-lens offer, but the bag and SD card were a nice bonus. The software included is only for PC computers, so if you own Macs like I do, it won't help. There's also the set of filters included, which I may use some time in the future. All in all, this promotional package is a nice introduction to the Fuji system, and a good bargain too. Even if the release of a new camera is around the corner, this particular deal is worth the effort, even if you only have Macs. :) Just be aware that the X-Pro 1 is not a dSLR but a fairly discrete camera with painfully sharp glass...

first I don't know why people complain about technology this is a different camera and it holds up to anything being out there right now.a I don't need 10 frames a second there used to be something called the decisive moment and this camera teaches you that its files are beautiful and as far as weight goes does anyone remember caring and mamiya or Pentax 6-7 with 3 lense film backs. Film and 5 strobe. This year cameras are way lighterb today even the heaviest one and the fact that you can do you nice lighting and three Leds and high iso compared to stobr and c stands.. photographers need to stop complaining about the weight issue it's a way better than it ever was it's a ridiculous argument especially your professional I take what I need to get the best picture possible

Surprisingly good!
Although its 3 years old, the deal for the camera + the 35 1.4 and 27 2.8 was too hard too resist. But surprisingly its a really good camera ... the focus is much better than expected from what I've read online and its so small compared to my old 7D. The pictures are great and the in camera processing is great. The controls are set up as a film camera so I work a little more, take less pictures but have more keepers. I am happy to purchase this and can only dream of the X-pro2 whenever it comes out.

Twice as good as a Leica at 1/8 the cost
Simply the best apsc sensor available today. The range finder styling, and the size and weight of this camera suits my needs perfectly. Fuji's support through firmware updates has improved the camera's functionality immensely since its introduction. The wide range of Fuji X mount lenses makes this a true system camera body.

Like
I wanted this camera when it was first released, but it was beyond reach. Lately with the price dropping and the bundled lens discounts, I decided to purchase it - even though it's now two-year old technology. The most obvious aged-technology is the EVF. It's a bit dated (already). But the OVF is beautiful and if that's your thing, then the EVF is a moot point. Another oft "complaint" is the slow (by today's standards) auto-focus. The latest firmware upgrades have helped quite a bit here (make sure you upgrade both body and lens). I'm guessing if you want to photograph very fast action or video, this camera isn't for you. But not all cameras are for everyone. The camera does take some getting used to, but I'm finding it's worth the patience. It's also a little bigger than some of the other mirror-less cameras, but I like the size, personally.

Still learning
Admittedly, I'm still learning the X-Pro1. It was a recent purchase, recognizing that it's two-year old technology. This is reflected in the slower than state-of-the-art AF, and the Electronic Viewfinder resolution and updating speed. However, if you want the hybrid OVF/EVF, along with the ability to change lenses, it's still the only game in town. From what little I've shot with it thus far, the image quality is amazing. I've been mainly doing street photography, and I do feel there's a learning curve there - at least in terms of using a different technique than what I've been accustomed to using. I agree with the chorus of people wishing the X-Pro1 had the innards of the X100S and the X-E2, but then again, the current price of the X-Pro1 is quite good. Even better if you're able to bundle it with discounts on the lenses - as I did with the Holiday specials.

This thumb grip completely transforms the handling of the Fuji X-Pro1. I was constantly unintentionally hitting a button on the back of the camera with my right thumb. This grip makes the camera easier to hold and operate. Highly recommended.

Fantastic!
Love this camera! It is compact, but has a great feel. The controls are easy to use, and the menu system is good. The Q button allows a very quick way to change the settings. The images are great! I take this camera everywhere. Its small and quiet, and does not impose its presence like a DSLR with a moderate zoom lens. Cons: battery life is short relative to my Canon 5DIII. I don't like the battery charger, as it does not confirm the battery is charged. Carry an extra battery. I would not use this for sports or action, but for street and people, it is superb. I love my Canon 5DIII, but the X Pro-1 is now my go to camera! Get one...you will love it.

I love this camera
I've been shooting with the Fujifilm X100 for about two years and absolutely love the camera, but I've had my eye on the X Pro-1. The X Pro-1 is perfectly sized and feels great in my hands. The controls are positioned nicely, and the Q menu is about the slickest way to present common menu items I've seen yet. I like the way the spot-metering adjustment are shown live on-screen while composing a shot. The camera's images are about as close to film as I've ever seen from a digital camera. The new 3.01 firmware upgrades makes focusing rather quick - not pro DSLR quick, but resectable. It also added pixel peeking for manual focus which is nice too. I carry the X100 everywhere I go except on weekends when I'm out and about with my X Pro-1.

Mirrorless camera
Most important feature for me is its stunning low light capabilities. Shoot into a dark closet on auto ISO and the closet is perfectly lit as if in daylight. Learning curve steep and there are significant differences from DSLR. Not smaller or lighter than some DSLRs. It's as heavy as my D5000 and nearly as bulky.

X PRo 1 Image Quality is as great as ...
I replaced my first X PRo1 and lenses that went swimming accidently. What more can I say than I bought it again after a year! In comparison to my Canon 5D, I had images taken by myself with the 5D and my wife using the Pro and upon enlarging, the X Pro 50mm f1.4 lens images appear sharper. The unit is lighter than the Canon but still feels substantial and I am awaiting the X 100S as well. I now have teh 18-55 zoom adn am testing and getting used to that.

A camera that gets out of your way
I really miss a manual, light weight travel camera. I had a Canon 7D and it was driving me crazy and I had almost stopped using it because it was such a pain. The X-Pro has saved me. Light weight with quality lenes or the X mount that allows you to use M base lenes opening a new world of possibilities. Simple shutter setting and yes folks, an aperture ring right on lens!!! No more dials and menus to fiddle with. A manual focus that works like a charm with an enlarged image in the view finder that allows you to get a sharp focus. If you are an old photographer like me, you will love a camera that gets out of your way and lets you do your job or just have fun.

Pro Level -with Leica Image quality!
As a working Professional in NYC,I rely on my camera's to provide me with near perfect image quality, after all that is the bottom line. And I require that my cameras are easy to use, and built tough to take the day to day grind that working in NYC as a working photographer entails. The bottom line is that The Fuji X-Pro 1 with the 35mm f/1.4 lens is simply stunning. The images are nothing short of superb,and easily compare with Top of the Line Canon L series glass and the Top of the line Nikon glass as well as Sony Zeiss glass. The rangefinderesque look and feel of the camera and the very high build quality make it very easy to use and carry.Shaving off pounds to my gear. One extra nice feature is that in spring of 2013 ZEISS is coming out with 3-5 AF lens specific to The Fuji X-Pro and they will be amazing. The Fuji X-Pro-1 is in my opinion,a game changer camera, and bodes well for getting razor sharp images and great color from a smaller lighter camera.

Great Promise
If/when there's an X-Pro2, it will probably be the best small digital camera available for professional use. The X-Pro1 is well headed in that direction already: it makes superb images and doesn't clutter up the user's photographic work with unnecessary options and choices -- viz: choices between types of scenes, cute variations of light and color, and, in short, all the treatments that can be done in post-processing if they become important. The X-Pro1 concentrates on simply acquiring the essential basic picture in full detail. Why not five stars, then? First, this camera under some circumstances drops out of the RAW mode unexpectedly, and the user has to remember to turn RAW on again when those circumstances have been finished. There are other occasions when RAW is just plain unavailable. The X-Pro1 does produce superior JPGs, but one would like it also to make RAWs when the photographer wants them, rather than when the camera does. Second, there is no built-in image stabilization. This is promised for several of the future lenses (the 3 zooms only), but would serve the photographer best if it were included as part of the camera itself. It may be that the very short back-focus of the X-Pro1 obviates this possibility. Third is the much-discussed issue of a lack of speed in the making of an image. Actually, if the image is pre-focused and the shutter release held at the locking position (half-way down), the final exposure barely lags once the release has been pushed all the way down. What takes up most of the time that some users complain about, really, is the pre-focusing action, not the final exposing. Fourth (ultimately least important) is the fact that right now there are only three lenses available for the camera (apart from several dubious non-Fuji fish-eye optics that have been announced but not yet delivered). None of the three is a zoom; so far Fuji has introduced a fairly wide-angle lens, a "normal" focal length one, and a pretty short telephoto that doubles as a close-up optic (though it will not make a full 1:1 copy). The three lenses are all relatively fast, and the "normal" 35mm f/1.4 lens is also truly fine in all respects. I almost always use the X-Pro1 in Aperture-Preferred auto mode, and try to avoid the higher ISO ratings that are one source of the dropped RAW file problem. Used thus, it's just about the best picture-making instrument I've handled in these electronic years. While it's too bad that there's still room for improvement, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Fujifilm X-Pro1 right now, as it stands, to anyone whose work doesn't usually hit the far-out extremes among our photographic possibilities.

LIke it ALOT
Just got rid of my prosumer DSLR/lenses in favor of a lighter, more subtle rig, which the X Pro 1 fulfills superbly. I love this camera, and I am blown away by the outstanding image quality. Handling is fantastic, it's easy to use, and did I mention the image quality? Incredible detail and color. Focus was quick enough for action shots at my daughter's recent soccer tourney, though shooting was pretty limited with only the 35mm f1.4 in the bag. (More lenses coming soon.) Every once in a while, you get your hands on a piece of gear that you immediately know you'll never part with. The X Pro 1 is that for me. It represents a return to the art of photography where the focus (sorry) is on the image, rather than the operation of the camera. Playing with gadgets is fun, and cameras are no exception, but the X Pro 1 gets out of the way and lets me shoot undistracted. Are there limitations? Considering how early we are in the development cycle of a new system, the answer is yes. But there are lots of new things coming, and this camera is worth it.

Pro Level -with Leica Image quality!
By Photographica
As a working Professional in NYC,I rely on my camera's to provide me with near perfect image quality, after all that is the bottom line. And I require that my cameras are easy to use, and built tough to take the day to day grind that working in NYC as a working photographer entails. The bottom line is that The Fuji X-Pro 1 with the 35mm f/1.4 lens is simply stunning. The images are nothing short of superb,and easily compare with Top of the Line Canon L series glass and the Top of the line Ni...

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 (a.k.a. Fujifilm XPro1) is Fujifilm's newest camera which seems like the next step in a logical progression that began last year with the Leica-esque, high-resolution X100, followed by the smaller-sensor-based x10, a street-savvy little camera with a similarly retro feel. The X-Pro1 is a new interchangeable-lens compact camera that appears ready to take on that more expensive rangefinder camera. The X-Pro1 will hit the market with a range of three X-Mount lenses-an 18mm (27mm equivalent on a 35mm sensor camera) f/2, 35mm (53mm equivalent) f/1.4 lens, and a 60mm (91mm equivalent) f/2.4 macro lens. Lens diaphragm blades are curved for pleasing bokeh. The company says nine more lenses will be rolled out within the next three years, and that an M-mount adapter is in the works.
The camera is built around a newly-developed CMOS sensor that Fujifilm claims is capable of resolution that is superior to other APS-C sensors. A new color filter array eliminates the need for a low-pass filter that is inspired by the random arrangement of fine film grain. This pattern is supposed to eliminate moire and provide truer colors.
Other key features:
• Hybrid Multi-Viewfinder was first introduced in the x100, allows the user to switch between optical and electronic eye-level viewing.
• Optical viewfinder magnification changes depending on lens mounted
• Magnesium-alloy chassis and die-cast aluminum baseplate
• Shutter speed dial milled from solid metal
• Leather-Like Finish
• Film simulation modes mimic looks of Velvia, Astia and Provia as well as print films.
Fujifilm X-Pro1 Features
- By enhancing aperiodicity (randomness) in the array arrangement, the color filter minimizes generation of both moire and false colors, eliminating the necessity for an optical low-pass filter in the lens and enabling X-Trans CMOS sensor to capture full "unfiltered" lens performance
- The EXR Processor Pro is supported by an integrated co-processor for higher speed and higher precision image processing performance
- The optical low-pass filter prevents the occurrence of moire and false colors but results in a loss of resolution
- A higher degree of randomness with an array of 6 x 6 pixel units. Without using an optical low-pass filter, moire and false colors are eliminated while realizing high resolution. Inspired by the natural random arrangement of the fine grains of silver halide in film
- Designed especially for the X-Pro 1, the FUJINON XF Lens series promises enhanced resolution and light volume in image edge areas as well as reduced chromatic aberration for exceptional image quality
- Taking full advantage of the mirrorless design, the mount boasts a short 17.7mm flange back distance, a wider opening and deeper mounting of the lens, resulting in reduction of back focus distance to the minimum possible while achieving high resolution extending to the image edge areas
- Featuring the freedom to switch between an optical and electronic viewfinder, the Hybrid Viewfinder has evolved to meet the challenges of interchangeable lenses
- Viewfinder magnification automatically changes when an XF series lens is mounted and because there is very little noticeable difference in the angle of view when switching between OVF and EVF, viewing in either mode is smooth and natural
