Neocamera detailed review
Discontinued: No longer produced by the manufacturer. May still be in stock or found used.Fuji X-Pro1 Assessment
The Fuji X-Pro1 is a 16 MP digital camera with delivers class-leading image quality thanks to its unique X-Trans sensor which does not use an anti-alias filter.
Paired with one of the three excellent XF-mount lenses, the X-Pro1 produces some extremely sharp large prints up to ISO 6400 and even remains usable for mid-size prints until its maximum ISO of 25600.
Its retro design features a good number of direct mechanical controls. Usability is generally good and the camera stays responsive. Unfortunately, autofocus speeds go from sluggish in good light to very slow in dim light, making it not very suitable for action photography.
No doubt the biggest limitation of the X-Pro1 is having only 3 native lenses to choose from. Fuji probably made a good choice by starting out with such outstanding quality lenses but having only an 18, 35 and 60mm lens to choose from leaves out a good number of photographic subjects. It will change soon as Fuji announced 2 more lenses this year and 5 more next year.
