Description

Fujifilm X-Pro1 From the Manufacturer The Fujifilm X-Pro1 features a 16-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor, a brand-new X lens mount, Hybrid Multi Viewfinder and three prime lenses (sold separately). Fujifilm X-Pro 1 Highlights Setting new standards in image resolution FUJIFILM have developed a new CMOS sensor called the X-Trans CMOS. The X-Trans CMOS sensor is capable of delivering resolution that is parallel, if not superior, to a full frame sensor. The new color filter array paves the way for an ideal sensor that does not need an optical low-pass filter. While the optical low- pass filter is indispensable for the reduction of moiré and false color generated by conventional sensors, it also degrades resolution. FUJIFILM has developed a new color filter array that is inspired by the random arrangement of fine film grain, removing the need for an optical low-pass filter to solve moiré and false color issues. In the array, RGB pixels are arranged in 6x6 pixel sets with high aperiodicity (randomness). Increasing the degree of randomness eliminates the fundamental cause of moiré and false colors – a problem that occurs in conventional arrays when shooting stripes and other repeating patterns. The presence of an R, G and B pixel in every vertical and horizontal pixel series minimizes the generation of false colors and delivers higher color reproduction. As a result of using a film-inspired array, a more powerful EXR Processor Pro is required to process the image signal data. This development will maximize the full potential of the X-Trans CMOS sensor and deliver high speed and high precision image processing. Prime FUJINON XF lenses deliver the highest image quality Fujinon lenses have long been associated with delivering high quality images, with optics used for both broadcast TV and medium format cameras. Now the expertise borne out of this enviable optical heritage has been put into lenses for the FUJIFILM X-Pro1. Three compact XF Fujinon fast aperture prime lenses will be sold separately. The "XF18mmF2 R", "XF 35mmF1.4 R" and "XF60mmF2.4 R Macro" all offer precise control over depth-of-field and deliver excellent out-of-focus bokeh thanks to the design of the molded aperture diaphragm blades. The blades are curved to create a circular image at all aperture settings, while the very edges of each blade are meticulously rounded off rather than simply cut off, which delivers a sharper image. In addition, the solid feel of the high-quality metal barrel and detailed exposure setting in 1/3 step increments using the aperture ring fuel your desire to capture more photos with every shot. FUJIFILM original "X-Mount" maximizes lens performance Specifically designed to maximize the mirrorless design of the body the X-Mount has a short flange back distance of just 17.7mm. This means the rear lens elements are as close as possible to the sensor. The wide opening allows the lens to be mounted deeper within the body – up to 7.5mm (approx) from the mount surface – reducing the back focus distance of each lens to the minimum possible, thus achieving high resolution all the way to the edge of the image. Hybrid Multi Viewfinder FUJIFILM's revolutionary Hybrid Viewfinder first appeared in the X100. With its ability to instantly switch between an Optical Viewfinder and Electronic Viewfinder the Hybrid Viewfinder has added a new dimension to the pleasure of composing photographs. For the brightest viewing image, and to keep shutter lag to a minimum, users should choose the Optical Viewfinder. Those wanting focus confirmation, exposure information, white balance information and depth of field indicators should switch to Electronic Viewfinder. The Electronic Viewfinder provides an excellent "Live View" of your composition. This fusion of technologies allows users to enjoy composing their images through a bright viewfinder, but has the option to overlay vital picture taking information should this be required. Changing between the two viewfinders is simple, thanks to the switch on the front of the X-Pro1 body. When attaching a FUJINON XF-series lens on X-Pro1, both the viewfinder magnification and bright frame size automatically switch to support the lens focal length. Viewfinder magnification switches to 0.37x for the 18mm lens, and to 0.60x when the 35mm or 60mm lens is mounted, letting you compose your shot with the bright, crystal clarity of an optical image. The X-Pro1 also gives you the freedom to manually set a focal distance and switch between viewfinder magnifications. Cutting edge technology in a beautiful camera bodyThe top and base are made from die-cast aluminum alloy which, combined with high quality touches like precise engraving on the top-plate and hand-enamelled lettering on the lenses, underlines the fact that the entire X-Pro1 system is built without compromise. This eye for detail extends to the shutter speed dial and exposure compensation control that is precision milled from solid metal. Details like the shutter speed dial lock mechanism and the recessed exposure compensation dial are designed to prevent accidental movement of settings. The knurled finish on the sides of the dials feature rows of minutely milled squared pyramids for superb grip and confidence. "Made in Japan" confirms that every part of the construction has had to meet FUJIFILM's highest standards. The lightweight, precision-milled lens hood (included with the lens) has been exclusively designed and machined from aluminum for the FUJINON XF lens. It's compact size delivers superb light shading performance in a design that perfectly matches X-Pro1 styling. Diameters of the aperture ring and focus ring of the 3 Fujinon XF-series interchangeable lenses are only slightly larger than the barrel for sleek uniformity of design. Precision machined from metal, the reassuring click of the aperture ring at each setting and the comfortable torque resistance when operating the focus ring enhances the shooting experience. The X-Pro1's leather-like finish designed for a quality look and durability. The synthetic leather offers resistance to the elements and high durability, while an original manufacturing process produces a texture with the look and feel of authentic leather. The X-Pro1 has been designed with the photographer's comfort in mind. The natural fit of the eyepiece provides excellent shielding from light leakage. A dioptric adjustment lens can also be attached. Extending FUJIFILM's photo film legacyIn film cameras, multiple exposures is the unique photographic technique of superimposing one image on another by double exposing a single frame of film. Through advanced digital processing the X-Pro1 can simulate this technique - just select Multiple Exposure mode and take your first shot. By viewing it in the Hybrid Multi Viewfinder or on the LCD screen, you can see how the finished multiple exposure will look and precisely frame the second shot. Further enhancements have been made to the Film Simulation modes with the new Professional Color Negative Film Modes (Pro Neg. Std and Pro Neg. Hi) designed for X-Pro1 users working in the studio. If you'd like to shoot the same scene in a variety of Film Simulation modes, the X-Pro1 offers Film Simulation bracketing, along with AE, Dynamic and ISO bracketing. FUJIFILM has also included Film Simulation modes, where the X-Pro1 simulates the colors and tonal qualities of popular FUJIFILM emulsions. These include the vibrant colors of Velvia, the softer skin tones of ASTIA and the natural look of PROVIA. Enhance Monochrome Expression with Color Filters - Replicating the effects of monochrome film photography the X-Pro1 lets you use color filters to expand your photographic interpretation. Heighten contrast with the yellow filter and red filter or brighten greens and deepen reds with the green filter. Just as professional film photographers once selected a filter and printing paper to complement their creative vision, you can easily fine tune image quality with these filters. For those after a more nostalgic theme there's a sepia filter too.

    • How Fuji stole my heart and money
Style: Body Only
WHY WHAT WHO I chose to write this review because the reviews on Amazon are so polarizing and sometimes downright pushy, so much so that they made me buy this camera to judge it for myself. I have to admit that it has been a long time since I had to defend my spending to myself. I am sure many must have faced the same internal struggle. Let me admit that this camera is a keeper for me. The decision came after a long search for a discrete both in use and appearance camera with a image quality worth taking prints and blowups of. I didn't personally own too many of micro four thirds, DSLRS and compacts but have friends who shared fair and clear opinion about the equipment they own(ed). What this camera is? It's a collection of wishes in a very ambitious package and just like any other ambitious technology firsts, suffers from lack of polished user interface as well as competition. Some might find it downright offensive but X-Pro1 does not really have a competitor and for those who own M8 and M9s you know that you are eventually going to hit that buy button on your shopping cart sooner or later. You may say what about NEX7 and O-MD? I must say, to me NEX7 seems like a very light and compact laptop running Microsoft XL to take pictures, that is to say extremely flexible, configurable and fast but requires you to dedicate your brain, hands, fingers and eyes behind a thick software interface. Hardly photography for me since it would be so hard to make mistakes both unintentional and deliberate. I haven't touched O-MD so can't say much about it. And then there is the IQ, yeh well.. Fuji Xs can make any photography lover's eye go all watery but X-Ppro1 IQ can really grab on and hold on to a photographer's soul, especially when you get it going past its many issues. Although to be fair all issues are under MY limits of acceptable. Who is this for? I understand why the reviews are so heavily opinionated since people have different photographic needs and have certain expectations from a camera especially an expensive one like this. If you: Do landscape photography: You'd love it. Do portraits: You'd love it. Do street photography: You'd love it. Do kids photography: You'd hate it. Do sports photography: No way, this camera is not so sporty. You'd hate it. Do low light action photography: You'd hate it. Do want your camera to do photography for you: You'd hate it. Want to show off your new toy to friends: You'd hate it. It would be hard to justify the cost to them in the 10 mins they hold the camera and the red dot owners would think that you don't know squat about photography. So why would you go the distance to buy this camera? Just look at the images in flickr. Also it's truly an enjoyable experience to shoot with this camera. Here are my reason why I choose to keep this camera: THE VIEWFINDER The OVF is not complete by itself, it's the combination of OVF and EVF on a flick of a switch that makes this camera probably the best tool to compose great images. The bright lines and a little extra of the world that you see around them makes you think in terms of a `photograph' you are going to take not a `scene' you are going to capture. If you think that's a subtle difference, just try making a frame with your hand in front of your face and see it for yourself how a frame helps you compose when you can also see around it. One suggestion is to enable the parallax adjust focus frames, so that you can avoid about 10 mins of frustration when you think that the camera can't focus correctly. The frame lines are a bit tighter than the actual image that comes out but hopefully a fix to it is just a firmware update away. I have a 35 f1.4 and if I need to get a DOF preview, instead of enabling the function button to do that, I find it easier to switch to EVF and half press the shutter button. Needless to say my camera stays with OVF most of the time. One truly amazing thing is that OVF lets you compose your multiple exposure images, which may as well be a gimmick but is never the less very awesome to experience. The manual override to the magnifier is also sometimes useful like when I am taking images for a panoramic image. Yes I don't like the in camera panoramic composition, I would rather use a desktop software do it. AUTO FOCUS I think since it is almost fashionable to say that the camera has a slow autofocus, it is possibly the reason, I am almost glad that it's not as bad as I thought it would be. In bright situation it's just as fast as your run of the mill SLR. It does hunt in the dark and so does MOST of the cameras. It needs high contrast objects to allow it to focus in dim light. Now I am almost encroaching on the domain of Captain Obvious. One thing that I have already mentioned that you need to enable the parallax adjusted focus frames to correctly relate to what the camera is focusing at. I don't understand why Fuji didn't choose to enable it by default. Some people suggested that you use the continuous autofocus to work around the so called slow autofocus but I found it rather annoying but it's just my opinion and I DON't think AF is terribly slow on this camera or even slow enough to be even considered a limitation of the camera system although I wouldn't mind a firmware fix which can make it faster. Then there is accuracy. I have to admit that I don't spend a lot on modern cameras and I still love my MF Film SLRs but the 35mm 1.4 with AF can cause serious burn in issues on my plasma TV if I ever chose to render the images 1:1 on it. No, but really you get, very very accurate focusing and extraordinarily sharp images. SENSOR AND IQ Does it gets rid of moire without an AA filter?, my test says not completely but you won't see it on 99% of your images. Are the images sharp? Please check out full size images on Flickr. The noise performance is stellar. Someone mentioned on one of the forums (need to look up the link) that due to the modified sensor design Fujifilm will have to do excessive color NR which would result green or red patches on dark low contrast portions of the image and I was able to find a few of those patches but, I am guessing that can as well be a limitation of the in camera JPEG engine and possibly can be fixed with firmware updates but overall the IQ is just down right fantastic. The patches are not very obvious unless you know what you are looking for. The film simulation modes are really what they say they are. Velvia just takes you back to those Fujifilm colors without the noise of course. As for me I don't think I am going to miss the lack of RAW support in Lightroom but on the other hand would LOVE to have it. LOOK AND FEEL The camera looks stunning, even better in real than it ever looked to me in all the images on the internet. People say its not as heavy as the money they have paid for it but I really don't intend to use it for self defence like I would if I had Leica M9 in my hand (and I would need its self defence capabilities if I had M9 in my hand). On the less humorous side, I feel the weight is perfect, does not tire me out and I feel that strap is redundant since I can carry it in my hand the whole day. Just get one of those beautiful Gordy's straps and you are good to go. I live near NYC on the waterfront in a little infamous place called Jersey City and the boardwalk is very touristy and I often exchange looks of people looking at what camera equipment you are carrying. I noticed that people don't even look at my X-Pro1, which is awesome. I am sure the number of camera buffs / intersection is much higher in NYC and I might get caught but I am yet to test my theory. The real dials to adjust aperture and shutter speed is a blessing. The shutter speed dial is a bit stiff but does have an excellent feel to it. The aperture dial feels a little too easy to turn but then you realise that you can change it with a single finger without taking your eye off the viewfinder and you catch yourself saying `damn Fuji'. Don't know if it is luck or its by design but it's perfect. 7 configurable settings and one Q menu to control them all, brilliant user interface, thank you Fujifilm! The display is really good as long as you are not directly under the sun. Some say its the best in the industry but I wouldn't know. I have big hands so even though the camera is big and chunky, I think the grip might help. DEAR FUJI Here is a list of things that I would like the Fuji engineers or anyone who has some influence on them to consider when they start giving firmware updates: 1. Get rid of power save mode - this mode only makes users unhappy, instead try to reduce the cost of the spare battery. 2. Make the fly by wire manual focus logarithmic, so that I can get to the focusing distance quickly and do the finer adjustments with slower turns of the focusing ring. 3. Keep the focus detection algorithm running in manual focus mode and highlight the focus rectangles on the parts of the frame as they get in focus. Kind of like focus peaking in NEX7 but on the OVF as well. My old EOS 20D used to do it for about 30 seconds when you switch from automatic to manual focus. You may choose to run the algorithm only with the half press of shutter to save on battery life. 4. Focus confirmation with the magnifier with the loupe only partially covering the frame like in many micro four thirds and point and shoots like S90/95/100 etc. 5. When the camera is in completely manual mode, i.e. user set shutter speed, user set aperture, user set focus and user set ISO, DONT think, just take the picture. 6. More accurate framing lines on the OVF. 7. Histogram on the image preview in EVF. 8. Faster autofocus. 9. Ultrasonic motor on the future lenses. 10. I would like to have more configurability of the buttons on the camera but i am not sure if that would make it another NEX clone. I know that is a big wish list BUT again the camera is still very good and to me its a keeper. More than anything this is the camera that inspires me to take pictures, play with different settings and be creative. At this point I am totally enjoying this camera and I hope things get better or at least stay the same with the future updates from Fujifilm. ... show more

-Photographer Background & Introduction- I'm an amateur photographer that sometimes gets paid for what I do (therefore making me a part time professional [I guess]). My last camera body is a Canon 5D Mark II and own a variety of L glass zooms and good quality Canon primes. I enjoy shooting landscapes, nature, street, and event work. I was looking for a camera that's lighter than my 5D Mark II to utilize for travel and doesn't short in image quality. I'm pretty passionate in the art of photography. At the time of this review, the current cameras in the mirrorless market for me was this camera, the Sony NEX-7, and the Olympus OM-D E-M5. All of these cameras have pros and cons and I played the game debating which camera system is best to invest in. I eventually went with the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 and am quite satisfied. This reviews covers my thoughts on it. Update (4/2013): I've been shooting with this camera for over a year. I've updated parts of my review. Still a solid entry in the market. -PROS- 1. Image Sensor: This is probably the biggest reason why I enjoy this camera so much. This bold take on the APS-C-sized image sensor design is pretty legit. When the ISO is cranked up to 3200, there's absolutely zero color noise (or any noise) and images look pretty sharp. The dynamic range is impressive with a good amount of detail brought on in darks and shadows and good control over blowout on the high end. Colors are typically spot on unless it's red. JPG file output are screaming quality. Daytime photos look great. Nighttime photos look great. Still a lot of flex with my Lightroom workflow. The image quality is just as good as the RAW output on the 5DMkII. 2. Prime Lens Library: Prime lenses typically equate to high quality photos, and Fujifilm went and released prime lenses for the general range. I went and picked up the 18mm f/2, 35mm f/1.4, and 60mm lenses f/2.4. This translates for 35mm full-frame users to a near-28mm (for landscape work), near-50mm (for the normal-angle style), and near-85mm focal length (great for portrait). The glass for all 3 of these lenses are sharp and contrasty and have performed wonderfully in my use. The bokeh quality for all these lenses is creamy, however, depth of field isn't as shallow as full-frame, as expected, but should be noted. Update (4/2013): Focus has been sped up for many lenses thanks to Fujifilm's constant dedication to pushing through updated firmware. Another firmware will be coming up when they release the new telephoto zoom. I just picked up their 14mm prime and love the performance and build. 3. Hybrid Viewfinder: I'm loving the hybrid viewfinder. Want to shoot SLR style? Hit the switch and you get the Electronic Viewfinder. It's a bit sluggish but gets the job done in low light stills regardless. (Update 4/2013) It's faster, needs focus peaking like the competition. The optical viewfinder is great if you don't want lose that moment with the click. There are electronic frame lines in the optical view finder to help frame composition and it's nice to see them adjust with the quality of light available. The frame lines also adjust for parallax effect as you adjust the focal length which is pretty intriguing and implemented pretty well. One thing I truly enjoy with this camera's viewfinder is the hyperfocal distance meter integrated in the manual focus bar. When the camera is set at a certain aperture and focal length, (which is great when shooting street or group) the camera gives you an idea what's in focus. Pair that with the image sensor capabilities and you get a pretty lethal combination when out on the streets. 4. Weight/Portability/Style: It looks like a vintage-style rangefinder camera. It's light. It's black. It doesn't fit in my pocket, but slings around my body with no problem. I picked up a Street Strap - 46" Soft Round Camera Strap for Leica, Micro 4/3, Fuji Cameras with Round Rings and like how low-profile (black rope), durable, and functional it is and feel it pairs well with the camera. -CONS- 1. Auto-Focus/Manual-Focus: (Update 4/2013) Thanks to Fuji's attention to complaints, the autofocus has been drastically improved for all the lenses. It's quite responsive, but will never replace phase detect focusing that's integrated to other cameras. Here's hoping this is introduced in the X-Pro2. 2. Quirky Firmware: (Update 4/2013) It doesn't really crash or perform funny anymore. It's either I've adapted, or they squashed all the quirks through the firmware updates. 3. RAW Support: (Update 4/2013) Adobe and Apple now have RAW support. No longer an issue. 4. Battery Life: I took it to an Occupy protest with some heavy use. I ran through 2 batteries in a quarter of a day. I have to further study how much of what drains the battery. At other times, the battery goes a good part of the day. 5. It's Not Weather-Sealed. -ADAPTATION- This camera doesn't shoot like an SLR. There's a curve to learning how to harness the camera and the operation manual is a valuable resource in helping use this thing. Please be mindful. As discussed in other reviews, once you get its quirks. The thing is capable of outputting some seriously quality imagery. -CONCLUSION- (Update 4/2013) After over a year of use. The only other camera that has my attention is the Fujifilm X100S, and it's mainly because of its upgrades to focusing and that built-in 35mm equiv focal length lens (have to wait for end of the year for the 35mm equiv prime from what it looks like now). The image quality of this camera continues to impress. Its focus... not so much, however it's much much better than what it was before. It's my workhorse and companion. It goes with me everywhere, I'm looking forward to where Fujifilm is going in the future with this flagship camera and cameras to come. This camera is ideal for photographers that are familiar with cameras already and understand histograms and have a good grasp in manual control. It's great for street photography, low light stills, model photography, travel photography, wedding photography, and landscape work. It's not so great for sports and maybe fast kids. Rangefinders aren't typically ideal for sports anyway, yes? Crank the aperture and ISO and prefocus when working with kids. Comments, criticisms, and questions welcome. I've included some example images and a optical viewfinder example and further discussion of it in the user-submitted photos of this camera. ... show more

    • Getting There
Style: Body Only
When I first got this camera I was not liking it very much and was, in fact, on the verge of selling it. Then, by sheer happen stance, I read an article on using old SLR lenses on modern cameras. Now, with an adapter and a 50 year old Yashica 50mm F/1.8 lens I am getting to really liking the X Pro 1. My biggest problem with this camera was the lenses. Initially, I got the Fuji 35mm (which optically is really quite good). The focus was ridiculous slow however. Even with the firmware upgrades the focus speed was less than stellar. The 35mm would hunt for focus, lose it, reacquire it and maybe when the shutter was released, the image would be in focus. I attempted to use it to shoot images of my grandson who is six months old and just rolling around, and about half the images were unusable. When I put the adapter and my dad's old 50 on the X-Pro 1 though it breathed new life into this camera body for me. With the adapter and lens that actually responds when the shutter is released I am loving this camera. All the stuff that makes modern cameras cool, works like a champ: white balance, image quality, fit and finish, processing speed are all top notch. The menu system, not my favorite feature on any camera, is actually pretty decent in that it allows one to quickly access whatever you happen to be looking for. The shutter is very responsive and quiet when there is a lens attached that can take advantage of it (Turn off the annoying beep that sounds when ever this thing does something it likes). I have started using this as my primary street shooter since it's quite light weight yet still feels solid. It's not the smallest camera in Fuji's lineup, about on par with a Leica M6, but it feels good and is pretty unobtrusive. I have relatively big hands so I was constantly hitting buttons and doing things that I hadn't intended. I finally broke down and got Fuji grip and a Thumbs Up attachment for it and the unit feels outstanding. I no longer worry about dropping it when I'm focusing. I'm shooting this in aperture priority mode most of the time and, of course autofocus is gone, but I guess that is what I am beginning to really like about the X-Pro 1. There are certainly much cheaper ways to rediscover the joy of manual photography but the body of this system is pretty good. I can't give the X-Pro 1 a full five stars since the initial buying experience was so so disappointing (again, because of the lenses that were designed for this). But it has gotten to the point where I actually enjoy using it even though it cost additional time and money that one shouldn't have to spend on a camera at this price point. Overall however, I can say that I like the camera itself. ... show more

    • Just the best camera I've ever held, let alone owned
Style: Body Only
This camera is simply the best camera I have ever held, let alone actually owned! I love this camera and when I am taking photos it is hard to pry from my hands. Let me begin by saying that the person responsible for me owning this camera is Mr. Ken Rockwell from kenrockwell dot com. He writes extremely informative, thorough and eloquent reviews on all things camera. I've never owned a professional camera. I've never owned a mirrorless rangefinder, or any camera that required me to learn about photography. Let me tell you this, I am so glad that I got this. Within a day of reading about photography, aperture and focus, I was shooting pro photographs fit for photography books. It is simply a joy to use. Really the only gripes I have with it are this: The "continuing" focus feature is just garbage, in fact, the autofocus one isn't very good either, set it to manual and use the "AF" button to auto focus and then adjust to your needs if you absolutely need autofocus. Otherwise, if you intend on only using autofocus, go with a different camera. My other gripe is that the buttons are placed kind of strangely and its a bit awkward to hold in your hand. The right side is just so cluttered with buttons you absolutely must use both hands to hold it. Fortunately the lens is mounted on there so strongly that you can hold it from the lens, although this isn't something I'd recommend doing if you're like me and paranoid about breaking expensive things. On to the image quality, the quality of this camera blows me away. I rarely spend any time going back to look at my photos: I already know how they will turn out, perfectly. Really the only problem with image quality is that the focus can be very specific to certain objects. You can't really take a picture of someone with the background being in focus as well. This is fine for my purposes, but it may not be for yours (it probably is fine, heh) . I mostly use this camera for street photography (graffiti, buildings, etc) and portraits. I'm never disappointed with this camera. My only regret about this purchase is that I got the 50mm macro lens. To be honest, it's pretty useless. The lens is very hard to focus with and I just found it too be, in my opinion, a waste of money. It is probably a great camera for getting certain close ups, but not small objects. Think detailed pictures of textures, flowers, perhaps even some face shots or very "personal" body shots. However, I don't intend to derail from this review. This camera is just amazing. I have the FX18mmF2R and the FX35mmF1.4 lenses and both of them are just fabulous. I am always impressed with the the quality of the photos I get from this camera, regardless of the lens. I'm going to end this review here save the rest of my comments on the lenses for their respective pages. One thing you should know about this camera, and I think it is specific to rangefinders in general, is that it absolutely excels in low light environments. In fact it sees better than the human eye in most scenarios. This camera is simply a thrill to use in every environment, and I am always surprised with how well it performs in a low light and just down right dark setting. Any SLR would fail miserably in these settings. Hell why am I rambling, you already know this is a good camera, check out Ken Rockwell's review, come back, and make your decision. I hope this was helpful In conclusion, if you want a point and shoot, 100% hassle free, beginner camera, this is NOT the camera for you. If you are like me, have never owned a professional camera, and want an introduction into professional photography, will take the time to learn how to operate it, then this is the camera for you. You will get amazing quality photos, don't hesitate now. If you're unconvinced checkout Ken Rockwell's review. You can easily find it if you google his name and the camera. Also, you can help him out buy buying it through the links to amazon he provides on his website. ... show more

    • Excellent camera with some quirks.
Style: Body Only
This is a great camera -- excellent image quality, low noise even in very low light, sturdy build, somewhat-retro style, all "important" controls on easily visible knobs and rings, combination of automatic and electronic viewfinders. Plenty was said about those, so I should mention things that either require some attention, or limit the use of this camera. Quirks that should be taken into account: 1. RAW conversion. This camera has unusual sensor layout that works very well with internal RAW to JPEG conversion (done when photo is taken as JPEG, or using camera to generate JPEGs from previously taken RAW), or bundled Raw File Converter software (really modified Silkypix). Unfortunately for fans of other converters, NOTHING other than those two currently supports this sensor with comparable quality. DCRaw and everything based on it has "zipper" artifacts, Adobe software has "watercolor" artifacts, and getting a clean, high quality image from those is a matter of luck. Camera-produced JPEGs are of very high quality, and Silkypix can produce both 8-bit/channel and 16-bit/channel TIFFs that can be easily used as a starting point for further editing, however feeding RAW file to any other piece of software -- even one that formally supports the format -- produces inferior results. If you need RAW processing, convert RAW (.RAF) file to TIFF in Silkypix, and consider it "the new RAW". 2. Autofocus. Not being DSLR, camera uses contrast detection autofocus, and there are various quirks to its autofocus behavior. When it can't "see" a pattern of sufficient contrast along horizontal direction, it may go through a whole range of distances and fail to focus, irritating the photographer and wasting his time. To avoid this, make sure that focusing (half-pressing the shutter or pressing AF-L button in "manual" mode) is performed while the focus area is pointed at a texture with something other than just horizontal lines. Faces, eyes, brick walls, vertical edges of the buildings, poles, trees, backs of chairs -- but certainly not Venetian blinds, empty clotheslines or horizontal wires. It is sufficient to slightly tilt the camera while focusing to make "bad" textures work, but without that you will see focus moving back and forth for two second, and reporting no focus. Focus area can be moved within the frame, and its size can be changed -- what is important because if it covers multiple objects at different distances, the largest or object with highest contrast will get the "priority" because the criterion for focusing is the highest contrast in the whole area. Things that are missing or don't work well: 1. Fast or continuous autofocus. As described above, autofocus has limitations, so it can't be expected to lock fast enough unless the photographer "helps" it by pointing at suitable texture before pressing the shutter. This adds a few seconds from the moment when photographer decided to take a picture while the camera is off, to the moment when picture is actually taken. For the same reason, tracking an object moving toward or away from the photographer, is nearly impossible -- it's better to focus on something at a certain distance, then wait for the object to reach that point. Continuous autofocus mode exists, but doesn't seem to tracks things very well. 2. Video with autofocus. It works but depends on continuous autofocus, so expect painful re-focusing in the middle of a clip if anything moves to or from the camera. 3. Microphone jack, or lack of one. Camera has built-in microphone but has no jack for the external one. While microphone itself is only relevant to video, that is not a strong point of this camera to begin with, it also means that there is no way to trigger the shutter remotely, save for mechanical shutter release cable. X-E1, a similar camera without optical viewfinder, has microphone jack that can be used for this purpose. 4. Auto-ISO combined with aperture or exposure time priority. It works, but often produces unreasonable combinations, such as low ISO and wide open aperture or low ISO and long exposure. This is often contrary to the expected effect (low depth of field or blur with even relatively slow movement). When it happens, it's a good idea to set the formerly "automatic" parameter to something reasonable -- ISO will adjust to match it, and if it can't, an indicator in the viewfinder will show how far you are off. A photographer accustomed to deliberately setting parameters and planning in advance would find this camera great for his purposes, however someone accustomed to a camera immediately ready to take a picture within a second of taking the cover off the lens, would find it frustrating. ... show more

    • Fuji X-Pro 1 in 2015
Style: Body Only
In 2015, if you are seriously looking at this camera (in comparison to other Fuji options), then I imagine your interest is more centered around the design of it. And maybe the price which is getting lower and lower... The XT-1 is the Fuji camera to get if you want all the bells and whistles and weather sealing (never needed it, and I've shot in -15F, rain and sand, my other cameras are still working). So here's why I love this camera... • I love the rangefinder-style design (the parallax correction in the optical viewfinder is great) and the electronic viewfinder makes achieving my desired result a breeze. • The manual dials are great to work with (though I hope Fuji adopts the X100T style controls for all of their future cameras). • The image quality is excellent and high ISO is so clean. I love the colors! I often use the Astia color preset. Black and white is excellent too, of course, and my preference is for high contrast with a red filter. • The size and weight are just right--it feels so solid. I quite like the sound of the shutter over the Nikon CLA-CLACK. Quite a bit quieter than a traditional DSLR, but not much. Any cons? Not really, for me, but maybe this will help you... The X-Pro 1 is not a fast focusing camera. That's okay, I don't need rapid speed auto-focus. You shouldn't even be looking at Fuji if you are thinking of it as a bird and sports camera. In fact, if you need high-speed, erratic subject tracking I'd stay with a DSLR. Their focus system is just not quite there yet. It will be, one day. I tend to pre-focus to overcome this. The manual focus with focus peaking is so fun to use that I have the camera set with back-button AF so I can always see focus peaking and use whatever I need to based on the situation. Finding a flash trigger that works was a pain. Thank God for the internetz. I found the WEIN IR Trigger and that was the ticket for me. Other thoughts... Fuji lenses are out of this world. Super sharp, great bokeh characteristics, and practically no color fringing/chromatic aberration in my wide open shots with light sources behind subjects (read: sun). Right now, I'm using this mainly with the Fuji 56mm f/1.2. Incredible portrait lens. Crazy sharp wide open and it just gets better stopping down. Out of focus smoothness is really nice. My next lens choice will be the upcoming 16mm f/1.4. For lighting, I use manual flash with Yongnuo 560s and a WEIN IR Trigger to give me 1/250s shutter speeds. The Fuji system is a joy to use in all aspects of my photography. It's small, lightweight, and looks sharp, but has all the functions I need for work and personal photos. For me this thing just fits like a glove. I have no idea if this camera is right for you, this is just my experience. Go pick one up and try it out. They've got an X-Pro 2 coming. I'm very interested in it. Will I sell this camera to help fund that? Nope. ... show more

    • Fabulous image quality, but frustrating to use
Style: Body Only
I was always intrigued by the Fujifilm X100, but never pulled the trigger due to early reports of bugs, slow focusing, and the lack of interchangeable lenses. When the X-Pro 1 was announced with companion ~28/50/90 lenses, at a relatively affordable price, I thought the Almighty himself had made a camera just for me. As a longtime Leica fan, I've learned those 3 focal lengths alone re enough for a lifetime of photographic expression. Since then, Fuji has announced a ~21, 35/1.4, and an 85/1.4... A lens roadmap to make me drool with anticipation! Add to that early reports which put the image quality on par with full frame DSLRs and the Leica M9. So how's the reality? I won't beat around the bush--image quality is everything you'd hope, and fully satisfies in the same way my Leicas satisfy me. Every time I open files from the X-Pro 1 I'm astounded by the feelings, the moods, the images created... But getting there is an extremely frustrating experience. I'm not a full time pro, and nowadays am too busy with work and family life to shoot anything but personal work. Much of what I shoot is a byproduct of where I am in life; with a young child, I often capture the fleeting moments of childhood, reveling in the memories I myself have of my own childhood. I want a camera that gets out of my way and doesn't impede the creative process; something like a Leica M3 or any modern DSLR disappears from consciousness, really, and just allows focusing on the creation of your image. Not so the X-Pro 1. With the X-Pro 1, I often feel as if the camera is "fighting me" in a manner reminiscent of compact cameras of yore; autofocus is sometimes fairly quick, and certainly accurate when it locks on the intended target, but mostly the AF pretty pathetic. Capturing the "decisive moment" is often a real chore with this camera, and I find myself shooting whenever the darn thing acquires focus just to "get the shot" rather than capturing the moment I want... Focusing on young children is a real chore, and I often result to prefocusing to a point on the ground and tripping the shutter when the subject crosses that point--like shooting my ancient M3. But even then, sometimes the camera is "thinking" or trips over itself, and shutter lag causes you to miss the moment entirely. It's just a frustrating experience. My prior DSLR, a Canon 5D Mark II, was leagues ahead of this camera in speed of use.... And that's not a particularly fast camera! If I had the luxury of traveling the world all the time, this is possibly a camera I'd take, as with anything but kids it has proven to be good enough, has absolutely gorgeous image quality, I have faith that Fuji will improve it over time, and digital sure is more convenient than film. But to be honest I'm faster with and generate a higher keeper rate from my Leica M3, which is pretty pathetic for an expensive camera circa 2012. Although the lenses are STELLAR, and render beautifully, I'd recommend waiting until the X-Pro 2 comes out, to be honest. This body just isn't that good. ... show more

    • A personal view of a great camera
Style: Body Only
Other people here have reviewed the features of this camera. There are dozens of websites with technical reviews of the X-Pro1. There's no need to get into that all over again. I'd like to share my personal perspective on this outstanding camera and why I love it so much. It gets sorta long winded. Hopefully, my review of this now discontinued camera will be helpful to someone. On introduction, the X-Pro1 intrigued me greatly. I had previously used Leica film rangefinders and loved using them but digital changed all my working methods and film no longer fit into the equation. The new X-Pro1 seemed like the camera to replace the M6's. But I had recently retired and I could not justify the cost of another camera system. Spending $1700 on a camera body alone and then shelling out for a series of lenses was out of the question. So I continued along with my digital Canons and old Olympus 4/3 systems, both of which were performing quite well. So I didn't even take notice of the announcement of the new X-Pro2 and the improvements it offered. Then I stumbled upon the close-out pricing of the X-Pro1. Really? The camera body is selling for 500 bucks? Could I really pass this up? This is likely my last chance to get my hands on an almost Leica rangefinder-like digital camera. So I bought an X-Pro1 with 27mm pancake lens for a bargain kit price. And then I bought another lens. And another body. And another lens. And then even more lenses. And I'm lovin' using this stuff. Why do I love the X-Pro1? It really does handle a lot like Leica rangefinders from the film days. People raved about the Hybrid Viewfinder when the camera was first introduced. To me, the main attraction is not the hybridization of the viewfinder or the electronic viewfinder (EVF), it's the optical viewfinder (OVF) with bright lines for the lenses. If you are gonna use the OVF, you have to be willing to accept some compromises. Compromises like parallax error, limited focal length range, limited close focus ability and only close approximations of what shows up in the final photos by what is shown in the viewfinder. I'm okay with all of these but I know many people are not. Personally, I dislike EVFs. I know they are popular these days but I don't like the video game look of the image, the view that's overly bright in low light and dimly washed out in bright light or the assault to my vision of the electronic image as it pops in my eye. I like the window on reality the OVF offers. So other than the OVF, what else do I like about the X-Pro1? Well, the lenses are superb. Right now I own five Fujinon XF lenses. Not a loser in the bunch. Wide open or stopped down, the images are excellent. I'm sure the techno geek pixel magnifier would find aberrations and imperfections galore but I'm not interested in that stuff. I'm interested in pictures. And my pictures with the XF lenses are just fine, thank you. I'm sure the X-trans sensor has a lot to do with this but I've owned Fujinon lenses in years past (large format lenses for 4x5) and I know Fuji can build outstanding optics. I also like the autofocus of the XP1. I know, I know--the camera's AF has been criticized to kingdom come by reviewers over the years. But, fact is, the AF of the XP1 is faster and more accurate by far than my abilities to manually focus Leica rangefinders...or manually focus SLR lenses. Besides, Fuji has improved the AF performance with firmware updates over the years and, really, the AF now ain't bad. I'm happy with this feature. Negatives? Yeah...nothing is perfect. One of the things I've come to love about digital cameras over the years has been the ability to program the camera to your own working methods and forget about it from that point on. There are tons of features on my cameras that I have never used and will never use. I've been doing the photography thing for nearly 45 years now and I think I've hit on what works for me, what doesn't work for me and what doesn't matter to me. Digital cameras in general make it easier for me to take pictures. There is one thing about the X-Pro1 that sorta drives me crazy--something it shares with every other "mirrorless" camera I've used (my DSLRs don't seem to have this problem). There are so many buttons to configure the camera to so many features there's less room for gripping the camera without pushing a button or flipping a switch. Many times I've picked up the camera to take a picture and it's in movie mode or playback or live view or macro some other mode I don't want. I wish there was a way to turn off the features I don't want and kill the function of the buttons that bring up these modes (like in my DSLRs). It should be easy for the camera designers to do this in the main menu. It should be easy to figure out that a human hand has to grip somewhere and that particular somewhere is not a place to put buttons, dials or levers. Ergonomically, the XP1 could be better in this respect. (UPDATE: There is a method to turn off some of the back buttons that get in the way, I later discovered. Hold down the MENU/SET button for about two seconds and it will turn off the 4-way UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT controller. Also adding a Lensmate thumb grip to the XP1s gives me a place to put that digit. These help considerably in preventing accidentally pressing buttons. The PLAY and DISP/BACK buttons still can get in the way at times but I can live with it.) In the end, the most important thing about a camera is how the picture looks that you get from the camera. This is where the XP1 shines brightest. I've shot Raw format since day one with digital. I've used various Raw processors and worked on each photo carefully to get the most out of it I could. I saved my images as TIFFs for years until I decided the file sizes were burdensome and the difference in quality between my Raw-processed and saved TIFFs and my Raw-processed and saved JPEGs was trivial. I could still print heavily cropped 13x19 images that looked good from JPEG files. When I started shooting with the XP1, I tried out Raw+JPEG and discovered the JPEGs out of the camera was so good I seldom touched the Raw images. (UPDATE: This procedure didn't last very long. I soon found the Fuji film simulations simply don't fit my preferences in color palettes. I know they are popular with many photographers and they initially impressed me. However, I quickly tired of them and started processing the Raw images in Lightroom with the Adobe standard instead. Luckily, the Fuji Raw files are easy to work with and look extraordinary despite some early criticisms of Lightroom's ability to process them. To my eyes, the colors are truer and less yellow biased when the Raw files are used instead of the JPEGs. I also was extremely bothered by Fuji's tendency to turn red into bright orange. It's a personal matter...your preferences might lean in the other direction.) I love this camera. I love using it. I love the way my pictures look when taken with this camera. I love the lenses, the X-trans sensor, the OVF and the retro look and feel involved. It's not perfect but perfection is unattainable anyway. At around 500 bucks, it's the bargain of the decade but it's a bargain that will be short lived. The XP1 is discontinued and, once they're sold out, there will no longer be any new $500 X-Pros. I bought two. ... show more
