Average to worse AF
Sluggish performance
Poorly implemented manual focus
Poor autofocus performance and a bare-bones feature set make the X-Pro1 harder to recommend for a general audience than it should be
And a new sensor means raw processing support will take longer to appear than I'd like

If you have the money — and it's a lot of money — es, buy it. It isn't just style without substance here. It's 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...

Picture quality is lovely with jpegs having a distinctly film/analogue look. Dynamic range is excellent. The lenses (18, 35 and 60mm) are pin sharp with outstanding resolution. All the controls are smooth and luxurious.
The camera is not as responsive as a DSLR and the 60mm lens is slow to focus and hunts around, even in situations with decent contrast. There is no dioptre adjustment for the viewfinder which meant that we — spectacle wearer — couldn't use it. The user ma
This is possibly the most mouth-wateringly beautiful camera on the market, comparable only with Fuji's other X models and the Olympus Pens. Its price puts it up against more versatile DSLRs like the Nikon D7000, Canon 7D and Sony alpha77. On the other han...
Abstract: Fujifilm's X-Pro 1 was announced at CES in January, just over a year after the first 'X-series' camera, the X100 was unveiled at Photokina 2010. At a launch event in Sydney, officials from Fujifilm declared development of the X-Pro 1 had started three yea...
Filmlike images, Good contrast, Smooth quality defocused areas, Hybrid viewfinder
Centrelocked continuous autofocus, Manual focus tricky with EVF
While it has a few flaws - specifically the speed of its AF system - we think that most serious photographers will find the Fuji X-Pro1 a joy to use. Low sensitivity images impress straight from the camera, having plenty of detail, pleasant colours and be...

Abstract: Fujifilm X Pro 1 Camera ReviewI was lucky enough to snag a cheap deal on overseas travel to Thailand and used the savings to splash out on a new camera – namely, the new mirror-less Fujifilm X Pro 1. This camera builds upon the very impressive market insp...
Abstract: No doubt about that – it's this, the top-of-range new beauty from the lately reinvigorated Japanese Fujifilm, which aims soon to become the number-three camera brand after Nikon and Canon . I've already gushed this past year about the retro-styled Fujifil...
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
The priciest Compact System Camera (CSC) out there, fixed rear LCD (not angle adjustable), EVF provides more accurate view than optical finder
While for us this is a camera that doesn't quite match the hype it's one with personality and in that respect a massive step in the right direction for Fuji
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...
