Especially given the competition in the sub 50K range
Abstract: What a camera. Despite my whining above about the v1 firmware autofocus speed, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 has accurate autofocus. The v2 firmware update eliminated some of the camera's usability quirks, and improved autofocus speed and SD card write speed so...

If you have the money—and its a lot of money—yes, buy it. It isnt just style without substance here. Its not a point-and-shoot. It is a camera that might make you work a bit, but it will reward you with great pictures (and jealousy from your photog fri...

Relatively compact and somewhat inconspicuous retrostyle, interchangeablelensbased camera system, extremely highquality images for the price, excellent skin tones right out of the camera, additional system lenses and accessories expected soon
Slightly quirky operation including some questionable placement of buttons, inconsistent and slow focus in lowlight/lowcontrast conditions, optional Assist Grip must be removed in order to access the battery/SD card compartment
During my first day of shooting with the Fuji X-Pro1, I did a simple side-by-side comparison between it and a Canon 5D Mark II, the popular 21.1-megapixel full-frame professional DSLR. Screen images and actual prints from both cameras had very comparable ...
Very good still images, Exceptional high ISO performance, Good ergonomics, styling
Cost, No continous AF in burst mode, No diopter adjustment for VF
The X-Pro1 is a camera that's hard not to like - the retro rangefinder look is cool, controls are nicely placed and materials, build quality and overall fit and finish are quite nice. Auto focus and shutter lag performance are good, as is image quality ...

Unfortunately, the Fujifilm X-Pro1's positives as a video camera—strong color rendition and impressive low light performance—are severely outweighed by the camera's poor controls in video mode. The unreliable autofocus system drove us crazy at time...

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 will appeal chiefly to enthusiastic (and affluent) amateurs, as well as to pros seeking an alternative shooting experience—people for whom pride of ownership is a factor.This may help mitigate its shortcomings: slower autofocus than a ...
I can honestly say that the X-S1 is one of the most impressive cameras I have seen in quite some time, due to its incredible versatility straight out of the box. Technically branded a “compact” camera, the fact that it features RAW capabilities a ...

Gorgeous design, Takes excellent photos and videos, Efficient control system
Expensive, Lens ecosystem is new and very small, Relatively slow autofocus
Beautiful, sturdy exterior, Elegant and efficient exposure controls, High image quality,
Average to worse AF, Sluggish performance, Poorly implemented manual focus
As enthusiasts ourselves, we can’t help but to be slightly disappointed by the Fujifilm X-Pro1. On the one hand, the X-Pro1 certainly looks the part, it’s a solidly made offering and a pleasure to behold, and we love the elegant control setup that make...
