a size comaprison between the Olympus E-M5 and Fuji X PRO 1 (via Quesabesde).
Reviewers of all over the world are testing the X PRO 1 and so it comes that I already have to post a new set of links to new reviews 🙂
Check it out:
Fujifilm X-Pro1: First Impressions (Invisiblephotographer).
Long exposure photography at Flixelpix.com.
Second part of the german X PRo 1 review at SystemKameraForum. And the third part is here.
Luminous Landscape (Click here) posted the first part of their review.
The spanish Quesabesde (Click here to read the google translation): “Their level of detail and resolution in combination with the three approaches is very high, and performance with high sensitivity is really excellent, with shots at ISO 6400 where the sharpness and saturation of the image does not suffer and chromatic noise are not makes an appearance.“

Gradually, as the reviews are published, my resolve to buy an X-Pro1 is increasingly strong. The opinions, conjectures, assumptions, and prejudices leave today way to serious reviews that demonstrate that the Fuji X-Pro 1 is a great camera… Hope we can fast find results with M-Mounts lenses.
Early reviews are unanimous thus far, the images are the best from any APSC on the market and really do rival most FF DSLR’s (with exception to bokeh and DOF of course).
Best APSC camera on the market, bar none. For me, it’s either this or a used 5dmkii + 50mm1.2…cant decide.
I might take some flak for this, but the OM-D looks really hideous. Especially put next to the X-Pro 1.
yes it really does look ugly.. especially the hot shoe on top of the viewfinder..
the silver version does look a little nicer
Yeah, not a big fan of the OM-D look. In its defense, it looks the worst full frontal. Errr, wait that came out wrong.
That said, I don’t think the XPro1 looks as good as the X100 limited in black… the Pro just starts to look a bit chunky.
This is how it should have looked:

Yea, but – you must have worked out by now that Fuji put that grip there for a reason…
I agree re the OMD. I still have my OM2, and I have to say that the OMD takes the OM design language in an overly fussy direction. Everything looks like it is tacked on, whereas the OM2 is a homogenous design. I also think they could have used the peaked prism housing from the early OM cameras, they were very unique looking and made the camera stand out – still does.
That grip on the X-Pro 1 is not satisfactory either anyway. For real comfort you need the extra grip. Not having the thin grip would have left the option of cool elegance to people who care about it. Anyway I think I’ll use a leather cover with built-in grip once I win the lottery.

Yes! That stupid grip… Such a shame.
I’m waiting now for dxomark test (I expect great high iso pergormance and pretty bad color resolution), as well as test with leica wides
couldn’t handle the LL review:
1. the guy assumes X-Pro1 is a rangefinder camera just because it looks like one
2. he waited a decade to went an old grudge against a store clerk (even though the R-D1 was released back in 2005)
and this pearl had me:
3. “The X-Pro1 is a handsome camera. Finished in all black, like a serious camera should be…”
Seems some people just do not know what RF is – they take an Optical VF as RF. Strange for a pro at LL…..
A rangefinder is just a device that finds distance (range). Nikon sometimes call the green focus confirmation LEDs in their viewfinders a “digital rangefinder”.
More and more reviews coming in and the picture (!) becomes more and more clear: Very nice camera, HQ lenses, stellar IQ. Handling very good. Major minus: AF is not at m43 state-of-the-art level.
In my own photography, 90% of scenes do not require fast AF. Thinking of buying the Xpro1 but keeping my G3 and essential lenses (12,25,45).

My thoughts entirely.
Too much focus on features when the real measure is output.
I’m beginning to see the same trend. Not very good AF, particularly with the 60mm lens. I wonder how that impacts real life photography. They said the x100 was a dinosaur, and i’m having quite a pleasurable time with it – certainly haven’t lost a shot due to AF so far…
For most of us, I suspect the AF speed will be just fine. Contrast detect requires that we give some thought to our AF target. http://www.fujix-forum.com/index.php?/topic/3805-x-pro1-af-with-60mm-lens/
I don’t quite understand the point of OM-D being better because of its size. Unless you’re only using pancakes it becomes big once you put a lens.
Another size comparison

So what is the over all judgement on AF and viewfinder usalbility size etc?
DigitalRev just posted a review on youtube. Seems like Autofocus is still an issue. And the EVF is still laggy. But it seems the camera is still as fun as the Fuji x100.
(Hugs my beloved Fuji X100).
