  • I had high hopes for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 when it was announced and, having tested it, I am pleased to say that I am not disappointed. Like the companys own X100, the X-Pro1 does have its quirks, and aspects such as AF speed could be improved, but it hand...

  • Outstanding image quality, Classleading high ISO performance, Oldschool manual controls, Supersharp LCD screen
  • Doesn't come cheap
  • Picking the Fujifilm X-Pro1 up for the first time the first thing that strikes you about it is the size; by no means is it a small camera. Indeed, compared to its immediate APS-C touting compact system rivals such as the Samsung NX200 or Sony NEX-7, the X...

  • Film, like images, Good contrast, Smooth quality defocused areas, Hybrid viewfinder
  • Centre, locked continuous autofocus, Manual focus tricky with EVF
  • If you are an experienced photographer who's not concerned about having scene modes and ultra-fast autofocusing, there's lots to like about the Fuji X-Pro1. Setting the exposure via an aperture ring and a shutter speed dial seems to come naturally, and t...

  • Rock-solid build quality, Full manual controls, Hybrid viewfinder
  • Expensive, LCD not angle adjustable, Slow auto focus on video
  • Without access to a computer or a printer on which to study the images, it’s quite difficult to evaluate how well the Fufifilm X-Pro1 executes its main purpose. Judging entirely by the camera’s own LCD, we're looking at stellar picture quality—as it s

  • 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...

  • Abstract:  Fujifilm's most ambitious camera ever has retro appeal in abundance, but it's one frustrating step from perfection. Whereas the gorgeous but non-lens-swapping Fujifilm X100 had the silvery look of a 1950s Leica, the lens-enabled X-Pro1 is a little more '7...

  Published: 2012-07-02, Author: Swapnil , review by: digit.in

  • New sensor design delivers very sharp images even at base apertures, True Rangefinder-like experience, Good selection of prime lenses that take good advantage of the sensor
  • Relatively slow AF, Changing from photo to video mode a little cumbersome, Too expensive, especially given the competition in the sub 50K range
  • Rs. 1,04,999. That's how much the X-Pro1 costs, without a lens. Let that sink in for a bit. Clearly this isn't a mirrorless meant for the average user, given not only its price, but its design as well. This isn't meant to match DSLRs that cost as much, bu...

  • Retro classic design; good selection of fast prime lenses; superior low-light performance at high ISOs; excellent image quality; pleasing color rendition.
  • Slightly sluggish AF performance; below average battery life; lack of dedicated video recording button.
  • However, its slower-than-average autofocus performance and unimpressive battery life are notable shortcomings. The X-Pro1 will wow you with its excellent image performance and low-light capabilities. ...
