The video on top (found via fotoactualidad) is actually the first “professional” video we saw from the X PRO 1. Youtube can’t really give us an exact idea of how good (or how bad) the video quality of the X PRO 1 is. But I am certain cameras like the Panasonic GH2 and Sony NEX will deliver much better results. The big deal of the X PRO 1 is the image quality and you can check the latest image samples posted by non-english websites like Nikkei Japan (Click here), Zol China (Click here) and Pixinfo Hungary (Click here) -> found via Fujirumors.

The video does not look good, but that’s not the purpose of this camera anyway, but I wished it had a better video.
Right in the beginning her face color changes, the highlight in his face doesn’t look good either.
The video from The Camera Store review is also pretty lame, so this camera is definitely not for video. But the pictures seems pretty nice, let’s wait for a full review and comparison.
Lighting looks harsh during the whole shooting session. I still enjoy this video though.
It seems to be polish, not czech made…
yep
Google translate from Czech: Testing the video camera features Fujifilm X-Pro1. The film produced by a professional photographer Wojtek Wojtczakem Railway Museum in Warsaw
short correction,
not czech fuji team, but by polish team 🙂
the original file have about 1.2GB nad looks much better
Let’s do an A/B comparison test with the Nex-7 and GH2 as soon as we can !!!
the titles say “shot in Warsaw”, that’s Poland…
Nope I am right. It has been made by Fuji Czech team in Warshaw 🙂
nope, original caption for this video in Czech language:
“Testovánà funkce videa s fotoaparátem Fujifilm X-Pro1. Film vyrobený profesionálnÃm fotografem Wojtkem Wojtczakem v Železni?nÃm muzeu ve VarÅ¡av?”
translation:
‘Testing of video recording feature on Fujifilm X-Pro1. Produced by professional photographer Wojtek Wojtczak in Rail Museum in Warsaw’
Wojtek Wojtzak is Polish.
forgot to add, I’m fluent in Czech language
Not the camera for video.
youtube is for cellphone video of guy doings stupid thing, not for pro video 🙂 Video are compress heavily, the download file is an amazing 16Mo for 1mn in 1280×720 size 😉
There are polish names not czechish. Titlles are in polisch written too.
Very disappointing that Fuji did not fully enable manual controls on the Xpro1, its the one thing that’s keeping me from pulling the trigger. If you can’t control exposure, the video is worthless. I was really hoping to dump my X100 and my 5d2 in favor of the Xpro1 because I love the images my X100 produces, I just want more versatility.
The GH2 and the 5d2 still have a much higher bitrate so the Fuji video will not stand up against them, just as the Nex 7 falls short. The way Fuji handles the highlights and shadows in still could make for very nice video, but its just not meant to be. Hopefully manual controls will come in updated firmware. Anyone looking to do lots of video will not look to this as an option, just like the Pentax K5.
X-Pro 1 is not at all aimed for video and I think Fuji should have omitted the video function altogether. A camera with Pro in the name should be pro all the way, not semipro when it comes to video!
This is A Fuji Poland shoot described many times.
Wojtek Wojtczak is a Polish photographer.
Rail Museum Warsaw is in the Polish capital.
.pl is domain for Poland.
Czech Republic lies south of POland.

P.S. it is polish site
Sorry, guys. This is a still photographer’s camera. I wish videographers would stop complaining about still cameras lacking video features/quality. I don’t complain about the Red One’s still photo capabilities.
I wish still photographers would open their minds and realize there’s a place for both within the same camera body – video is going to continue to improve in all still camera bodies – they’re all hybrids whether still only shooters like it or not. Fuji markets the full HD video capabilities of the camera, but then implements it in a half baked manner. If its a “still” camera as you say, why include it at all?
Fuji obviously wants to promote the video of its cameras, so stop putting crappy videos like this one out to show it off. Nothing says poor viewing experience like watching the exposure change.
U don’t say.
Please moderate your site. There is no room for this childish jabbing at one another. You all sound like spoiled little children. Fuji has the wherewithal to produce a true photographer’s camera, listen to their users and yet you still complain! Not only that, you spew racist remarks at each other. Please, most of we readers do NOT want to see this immature foolishness. Ever hear the saying “If you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything?”
OK, back to the camera.
Seriously, I don’t know why you are even here. Wait till DPreview finish their review or buy the camera and try for yourself. You are on a rumor site read rumors but cannot handle people expressing their opinion?
The “racist” remark you call it are actually nationalist remark because those European are all considered white by American standard. There is nothing wrong with nationalist remark. Top Gear has it, DigitalRev has it, NYTimes has it and half the freaking DPreview forum have people talking how Zeiss and German made camera and lenses are better than Asian made product.
Time to reconsider this American standard.

Couldn’t care less about the video, happy with whatever they throw in with a good stills camera. Happy for them to leave it out too.
This looks just fine.
I removed the “stupid” posts.
yet you’ve left comment from Denis there – the one who started it 🙂
ops. Removed!
I don’t know a lot about video, but if you check on the japanese and chinese website, the pics samples are just incredibly sharp, especially with the 35mm and the 60mm. The video will be good enough if the picture have this resolution ! Really impressive.
It could just be that the makers of the video did a half-baked job. For all we know this camera probably shoots amazing video. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens when more people start posting videos made with this camera. Personally I might spring for either one of these two DSLRS: the Canon 5D Mark III or the Canon1DX. But it would be nice to have a powerful camera in a smaller form factor to carry around.
I played around a bit with the Samsung NX200, the Sony NEX7, the Canon G1X and still couldn’t make up my mind. Didn’t get a chance to handle the Fuji X-Pro 1. The Fuji X Pro1 caught my eye after I saw some sample images somewhere. But I’ve yet to check out any videos.
High bitrate is very important to me as far as video is concerned. Let’s see what this month brings
