Zitat: Pros: + Excellent image quality + Impressive design and build quality + High quality lens line-up Cons: - Imperfect hybrid viewfinder setup - Slow autofocus, mediocre manual focus performance Fujifilm’s X-Pro1 is an excellent attempt at an enthusiast, mirrorless, interchangeable-lens digital camera for a company that hasn’t appealed to professionals since 2006. It looks great, is very well constructed, and has an excellent imaging sensor and lens line-up. It isn’t particularly refined, though -- operating the camera is sometimes clunky, getting in the way of actually taking pictures.

Zitat: Highly Pro: + Superb image quality. + Outstanding High ISO noise performance. + Innovative hybrid OVF/EVF. + Functional analogue controls. + 6fps burst shooting with no viewfinder blanking. Contra: - 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. Since its announcement at the begnning of 2012, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 has been awaited with anticipation by enthusiast photographers eager to witness the evolution of the company´s earlier fixed lens X100. With a groundbreaking new 16 Megapixel sensor, an innovative hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder, traditional retro styling with analogue exposure controls, and a launch range of three quality prime lenses the X-Pro1 combines quality construction, traditional features and cutting edge technologies. There truly isn´t another camera like it. Rather than trying to compete by packing more features into a compact system camera format already established by its competitors, Fujifilm has gone back to its roots to recreate the rangefinder models of its heyday in a modern digital context. And it has largely succeeded. The X-Pro1 is a delight to use and produces images of amazing quality. It would be surprising if there were no issues in a first generation model and with the X-Pro1, focusing is its Achilles heel. There´s no avoiding the fact that if you´re used to fast AF on a high end DSLR you´re going to be in for a frustrating time and that´s going to present some challenges for the X-Pro1 in what could be one of its most natural markets: street photography. Focusing shortcomings aside, the X-Pro1 is a beautiful camera that reaffirms the best traditions of what used to be called miniature photography. It´s well-built, functional and a joy to use, and even with focusing issues is thoroughly deserving of a Cameralabs Highly Recommended award.

Zitat: Recommended Medal Whether the X-Pro1 is worth the real money needed to buy it you will need to weigh up for yourself. If faster and better autofocus, more silent operation and speedy performance are important to you, save your cash and resist the charm of the X-Pro1’s cool retro looks, as you would be seriously disappointed. That said, if visual excellence is what you are really looking for, then I would just say that this is a unique and amazing camera that, in its class, can deliver unbeatable image quality that is worth every penny.
