Fujifilm X-Pro1
With almost every major manufacturer, save mysteriously Canon, now offering a mirror-less compact with a larger than average sensor and on which the lens can be swapped for near digital SLR (DSLR) quality, Fuji has belatedly joined the fray.
Pros:
- Stunningly high build quality will tempt those who may have been lusting after an even more expensive Leica rangefinder camera
- plus we love the extremely high resolution LCD and EVF/optical viewfinder
Cons:
- The priciest Compact System Camera (CSC) out there
- auto focus a little sluggish especially during video recording
- rear LCD not angle adjustable
- EVF provides more accurate view than optical finder

Fujifilm X-Pro1 review
We did manage to take some lovely, creamily ‘filmic' results with this Fuji, but with a slightly slow auto focus that encourages manual use, this is a complex beast that requires persistence and perseverance to achieve the stunning results it's capable of.

Fujifilm X-Pro1
Announced in January 2012, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 is the company's first interchangeable lens compact system camera. Like the earlier fixed lens X100, it has rangefinder styling and an abundance of analogue controls going even further into the retro aesthetic than the vintage-styled Olympus PEN range.
Pros:
- Superb image quality
- Outstanding High ISO noise performance
- Innovative hybrid OVF/EVF
- Functional analogue controls
- 6fps burst shooting with no viewfinder blanking
Cons:
- Sluggish and erratic autofocus
- Exposure compensation dial easily moved unintentionally
- Limited lens range - and none are stabilised yet
- Ineffective dynamic range feature in my tests

Fujifilm X-Pro1 Digital Camera Review
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 24-624mm lens that opens to 2.8 at its widest and...

Fujifilm X-Pro1 mirrorless camera review
The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a work of art, and like any masterpiece there'll be some who hate it and others who get into heated bidding wars. If you're sensible and price-conscious, then by rights you should be waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
Pros:
- Filter-free sensor produces amazing images
- Hybrid viewfinder caters for all situations
- Great manual controls and UI
- Cheaper than a Leica
Cons:
- Not everyone digs the bold retro style
- Other ILCs have weatherproofing
- faster AF
- gentler prices

Fujifilm X-Pro1
All of this raises the question: who is this camera for? Though the X-Pro1 delivers pro-level photo quality that should appeal to wedding and portrait photographers, if you have to process large volumes of images on a regular basis, the lack of widespread RAW support may really impede your workflow.
Pros:
- Stellar photo quality
- Beautiful-looking
- mostly streamlined design
- Attractive for deep-pocketed enthusiasts and curious professionals
Cons:
- Poor autofocus performance
- Bare-bones feature set
- New sensor means RAW processing support will take longer to appear

[REVIEW-FUJIFILM X-Pro1]
This 16 megapixel interchangeable lens camera uses an APS-C sensor, like most DSLRs, but with a classic optical viewfinder. The filter array on the sensor is unique to Fujifilm and is claimed to give better sharpness.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 review
With its rangefinder-like dials and knobs up top, plus DSLR-style controls at the back, the 16.3 megapixel Fuji X-Pro1 is every inch the enthusiast's camera. It encourages experimentation rather than just pointing and shooting, plus, with its buttons and dials, a period of familiarisation will be...
Pros:
- Rock-solid build quality
- Full manual controls
- Hybrid viewfinder
Cons:
- Expensive
- LCD not angle adjustable
- Slow auto focus on video

X-PRO1
Despite autofocus that's a bit on the slow side and its retro looks, the X-Pro1 really does stand toe-to-toe with the best 16-megapixel cameras from any of the big manufacturers in terms of image quality. Handling is great and so is the weight and feel of the controls.
Pros:
- : X-Trans CMOS sensor is very resistant to moiré
- lack of a low pass filter captures more detail than any other APS-C sensor we've tried
- controls are logical and well designed
Cons:
- : Pretty expensive
- autofocus is slow especially in low light

Fujifilm X-Pro1 review
Ever since the Fujifilm X100 was announced in September 2010, many people suspected that it would form the basis for a potential Fujifilm compact system camera. After all, it made sense: the X100 uses an APS-C-sized imaging sensor, and it should theoretically be possible to remove its fixed lens and...
