Top Rated Gear: Used Fujifilm X-PRO1 Mirroless Digital Camera Body, 16.3 Megapixel, APS-C X-Trans CMOS Sensor, 3.0" LCD Monitor, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 undefined

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: &#149; Hybrid Multi-Viewfinder was first introduced in the x100, allows the user to switch between optical and electronic eye-level viewing. &#149; Optical viewfinder magnification changes depending on lens mounted &#149; Magnesium-alloy chassis and die-cast aluminum baseplate &#149; Shutter speed dial milled from solid metal &#149; Leather-Like Finish &#149; Film simulation modes mimic looks of Velvia, Astia and Provia as well as print films.

I purchased this camera to have a backup camera body to my Fuji XE-2.  It is a great camera and I love that it is weather sealed.

Gr8 Camera body Currently Selling at Gr8 Price!

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.

Beautiful experience

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.

Not The Newest But Still Great!

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.

Excellent tool for the type of photos I take

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...

Satisfactory performance

very nice camera body as new came in the original  box with all the accessories and manuals.

very nice camera body as new came in the original  box with all the accessories and manuals

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

Grear

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.

Surprisingly good!

This camera is beautiful. Not the fastest camera to AF but it allows me to think before taking the shot. It creates beautiful file. It also looks very classic. I love it. Highly recommended.

Great camera

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.

Twice as good as a Leica at 1/8 the cost

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.

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.

Still learning

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.

100% Recommended

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.

Fantastic!

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.

I love this 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.

Mirrorless camera

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.

X PRo 1 Image Quality is as great as ...

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.

A camera that gets out of your way

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.

Pro Level -with Leica Image quality!

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.

Great Promise

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.
