First the good news: For the first time the G1X is in Stock at BHphoto (Click here). Now the bad news: The X PRO 1 will ship in USA next week only (again according to BH).
But let’s focus on new Canon/Fuji reviews:
1) G1X Field report at Outbackphoto (Click here).
2) Steve Huff (Click here) made a quick ISO comparison between the X PRO and the NEX-7.
3) X PRO Hands On Review at ThePhoBlographer (Click here): “This is the camera that many of us have been waiting for. It is smallish, built well, has lenses ready with it, and has some exceptional image quality. It feels excellent in my hands and to be very honest with you, I am very close to selling my Canon 7D in order to fund one.“
4)X PRO Studio test samples at Imaging Resource (Click here).
5) X PRO Full review at ThedigitalPhotographySchool (Click here). The quality is “phenomenal! Razor sharp, precise colour capture.“

In the Steve Huff’s test readers comments, there is strong lack of good faith every time when people feel their camera is not as good as the last one launched on the market. This war between the Nex-7 and the X-Pro 1 is totally ridiculous. These cameras are so different, different approach of the photography. The perfect camera doesn’t exist. I used to teach the technology of the photography in a good school in Europe for many years, and I know that people cannot make the difference, or the link between the pure numbers and on-field results. I can say, as a professional photographer for many years and teacher, that the best camera is the one you kick for. If the fact to feel your camera in your hands makes you eager to shoot, inspire you to make better pics, push you outside whatever the weather, then that’s the best camera…
