Fujifilm X-Pro1 review

Fujifilm has a history of making beautiful cameras, particularly in its X series. The X100 and X10 are more than just pretty faces, too — both deliver gorgeous pictures and video. They're designed more as companions to a DSLR rather than your one and only camera, though, and the entry price is high for that kind of camera. In January at CES, Fujifilm stole the show by releasing a camera that could be your one and only: the X-Pro1, which pairs the company's flair for retro design with interchangeable lenses. Technically speaking, there's a lot to like about the camera in addition to its lens mount or its good looks: a 16-megapixel APS-C X-Trans sensor that Fujifilm claims could rival many full-frame DSLRs, ISO range up to ISO 25,600, a hybrid optical / electronic viewfinder, a 1.23-million-dot LCD, and Fujifilm's fast EXR processor. It's beautiful inside and outside, but Fujifilm's latest won't come cheap: the body alone costs $1,699, and lenses cost upward of $600 apiece. It's no $30,000 Leica, but the X-Pro1 is clearly not for the the light of wallet. Is it worth the price? Read on. Hardware / design Having used the X100 and X10 extensively, I'm accustomed to the looks and questions I get as I use the camera, but the X-Pro1 takes the phenomenon to a new level.

Fujifilm X-Pro1

The brand new X-Pro1 is Fujifilm's flagship digital camera, the ultimate device for old-school hobbyists who crave the style and mechanical control of classic cams. Do not be fooled by the retro design, performance is absolutely state of the art. This camera lit up our labs with some of the best scores of the year, solidifying the X-Pro1 as far more than a simple gimmick, but rather a legitimate contender to the very top of the line. Announced and released alongside the X-Pro1 were three prime lenses to fit the camera's new X-mount. We tested two of them, the 18mm f/2.0 and the 35mm f/1.4, and did some sample shooting with the third, a 60mm f/2.4 macro. All three seem to have been constructed with the same precision and care as the camera itself, leaving us with a very satisfying, albeit very expensive package. In the following sample images, clicking on the larger image will download the full resolution original. Each photo is accompanied by four actual-size crops. For many, physical design will be the selling point of the camera. Iconic faux-leather encircles the body, its dimpled surface grounding us to the 1980s.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 review

The latest addition to Fujifilm's line of attractive retro cameras is the top-end X-Pro1. It comes in a chunky metal chassis with an interchangeable lens mount, behind which you'll find a 16-megapixel APS-C sensor. The X-Pro1 is extremely stylish. It's a camera you'll be proud to show off, and it's less likely to turn heads than a bulky dSLR. So if you're a street photographer, you'll likely get more candid shots with this than a larger, more conspicuous model.You can buy the body for £1,300, or expect to pay £1,800 with one lens. The X-Pro1 is highly reminiscent of the Leica M9. It sports a very traditional design, with a no-nonsense boxy body and a viewfinder that's offset from the lens. Often this is a problem, as the offset means the viewfinder and lens provide different views, but in this case Fujifilm has come up trumps. Not only can you switch the rear display between live view and two levels of information, but the sensor beside the eyepiece can be set to swap out the offset optical view for a live through-the-lens sensor view. The sensor view can be overlaid with the same information as the rear display, including the division of thirds and a live horizon alignment guide.

Fujifilm X-Pro1

Fuji took a bold leap into the compact system camera world with the debut of the Fujifilm X-Pro1. Building on the heritage of the FinePix X100, this large-sensor, fixed-lens digital camera's development was first revealed way back in 2010 at the Photokina tradeshow in Germany. Although fraught with more than a few teething problems, the X100 generated a huge amount of interest despite its lack of an interchangeable lens, and that bodes well for the company with its first true compact system camera offering. In fact, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 sheds most of the idiosyncrasies of the X100, as the company apparently learned quite a few lessons from their debut model. The result is a camera that serves better as an SLR replacement, so long as you're not in love with the idea of zoom lenses. Though it has a reasonable heft, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 concentrates its weight in the camera body, with the lenses weighing less than most despite their metal construction. Body only, the X-Pro1 weighs 16.01 ounces (454g), just barely over a pound. Add the 35mm lens and the combination is 23.07 ounces (654g, 1.44 pounds). Not bad at all.

Digital Cameras: SLR, Micro 4/3 and Interchangeable Lens Reviews

The Fuji X100 was something of a reference in the world of compact cameras with large-format sensors, and many fans were hoping to see it followed up by a version with interchangeable lenses. And with the X-Pro1 mirrorless lens-switcher, Fujifilm has pretty much done just that. Interchangeable lenses aren't the only thing that's fresh in this camera, though, as it has a new APS-C-format 16-Megapixel CMOS sensor, with tech specs that promise excellent image quality. Fuji has launched three top-of-the-range lenses to accompany the X-Pro1 too (18 mm, 35 mm and 60 mm macro), for a set-up that's sure to rival the highest-end interchangeable lens compacts on the market right now. The X100 is to photographers what the DeLorean DMC-12 is to Doc Brown—a time-travelling camera that takes you back a good few decades. Here, however, there are no lightning bolts or flux capacitors involved. The camera's design is very old-school, and seems to play on a retro kind of rangefinder look with the optical viewfinder (complete with frame overlay) in the top corner of the camera—not to mention the chunky dials, the diaphragm-control ring around the lens, the screw thread in the shutter release to keep shooting nice and supple, and the coarse grainy plastic finish. Build quality isn't perfect, however.

Fujifilm X-Pro1

It seems strange that until as recently as a few years ago, we'd come to associate Fujifilm primarily with masses of middling point-and-shoot cameras. But the company has come quite far in a short time, thanks to its premium X series of cameras, which deliver strong image quality in striking vintage designs. Its X-Pro1 interchangeable-lens model now sits at the top of that line, packing a lot of innovative and promising technology into a really retro and mostly well-designed -- if a bit large -- body. While it doesn't win any points for its autofocus performance or bare-bones feature set, the stunning photo quality (for its class) does a lot to make up for that. The X-Pro1 uses a new sensor, the X-Trans, which in combination with mostly intelligent JPEG processing delivers excellent photo quality across low- and midrange ISO sensitivities, and in combination with the sharp XF lenses, very good detail resolution, color, and tonal range. In a typical sensor color filter array, each pixel is responsible for capturing a single color intensity (red, green, or blue), while most of the detail falls to the periodically spaced, more sensitive green pixels.

Fuji X-Pro1 review

Inside Fuji's first compact system camera (CSC), the Fuji X-Pro1, is a 16.3 million pixel X-Trans CMOS that produces images of up to 15.89MP. This means that when images are printed at 300ppi, they are just a small fraction short of full A3 size - ideal for most enthusiast photographers.Although this sensor is APS-C sized, Fuji claims that its cunning design enables the X-Pro1 to produce images that are superior to a full-frame camera's. The secret is in the arrangement of the pixels. Unlike most cameras that use a Bayer pattern of red, green, green and blue receptors (usually referred to as RGGB) arranged in a 2 x 2 grid, the X-Trans CMOS device uses a 6 x 6 RGGB filter array pattern, with a random arrangement of colour filters within each block of 36 photo receptors.Fuji claims this avoids the issue of moir patterning, which can occur as a result of the fine grid structure that makes up the average Bayer pattern sensor. As a result, Fuji hasn't fitted X-Pro1 with an anti-aliasing filter, which means it should be able to produce sharper images from the outset.FeaturesThe Fuji X-Pro1 is the brand's first interchangeable lens camera since the Fuji FinePix S5 Pro, which dates from September 2006.

Fujifilm X-Pro1

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is the company's first mirror-less interchangeable lens camera (ILC). Externally it shares the classic retro-styling of the earlier X10 and X100, but like those cameras features cutting-edge technology within. Indeed for the X-Pro1, Fujifilm has developed a new type of sensor which claims to out-perform even full-frame models, while further refining its innovative hybrid viewfinder. Coupled with three high quality bright prime lenses at launch and the promise of nine more over the next two or three years, the X-Pro1 is undoubtedly aimed at demanding enthusiasts and pros. These features and the target market set the X-Pro1 apart from most mirror-less ILCs to date. The only camera to come close to its high-end aspirations is Sony's NEX-7, but their feature-set, styling and overall propositions are quite different. Then there's the Godfather of luxury ILCs, Leica's M9, which may target a different price-point altogether, but one which Fujifilm has clearly been inspired by, at least in terms of design if nothing else. It all adds up to the X-Pro1 being one of the most promising ILCs so far with a feature-set and claims which will have any photographer chomping at the bit. In my preview I'll take a look at the headline features and see how they compare to rival models.

Fujifilm X-Pro1

Fujifilm had arguably the biggest, bestest camera announcement at CES 2012. Their brand-new flagship, the X-Pro1, is the company's inaugural crack at a mirrorless compact system shooter, and the first interchangeable-lens camera they've launched since the S5 Pro in 2007. Last year's X100 premium compact was a big success (they're still filling back-orders), and anticipation built to a fever pitch for Fuji to announce an interchangeable-lens version based on the same throwback rangefinder aesthetic. And here it is, a retro-chic camera with a magnesium-alloy chassis and faux-leather grip, built around a 16 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, and equipped with the brand new X mount and an updated version of their OVF/EVF hybrid viewfinder. Three bright, prime lenses will be available at launch, with super-wide and zoom lenses available by the end of the year. That's a premium system if we've ever heard of one. While every other major manufacturer has so far targeted their mirrorless cameras at mid-range enthusiasts, and even casual, step-up shooters, Fuji is aiming the X-Pro1 toward the hands of professionals and semi-professionals—street photographers, wedding photographers, or any serious shooter that wants a high-quality, portable complement to a DSLR rig. Fujifilm is waiting until the end of the month to announce official pricing, but they suggested that the body will cost about $1,700 and the lenses about $650 each at a press conference.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 Hands-on Preview (Preview)

When Fujifilm announced its FinePix X100 retro-styled large-sensor compact at Photokina 2010, it captured the imagination of serious photographers in a way the company seemed not to have quite anticipated. The X100's combination of 'traditional' dial-based handling and outstanding image quality brought widespread plaudits, making it something of a cult classic despite its undeniable flaws. The subsequent addition to the range of the X10 compact, with its bright, manually-controlled zoom lens, has cemented Fujifilm's resurgence as a brand worthy of serious attention. The X100 may have looked very traditional but it housed some very modern technologies - foremost amongst which was its hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder. This design not only allowed the choice of a rangefinder-style optical view or a fully electronic view but was also able to overlay electronic data over the optical viewfinder. It was a masterpiece of engineering, but appeared to be a design very much dependent on its use with an integrated prime lens. With the X100's success and the increasing popularity of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, it seemed only a matter of time before Fujifilm would introduce a higher-end model with exchangeable lenses.
