If you can’t get enough of X PRO 1 reviews than enjoy the next four links:
Dpreview: “the X-Pro1 is a very good camera, with excellent design and image quality, let down by a few small but significant operational bugs and quirks.“
Neocamera: “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.“
Digitalcamerareview: “Make no mistake, I really like this camera. The image quality and particularly the high ISO performance are just marvelous. But with midrange DSLR money involved I’m just not sure that the overall higher and more balanced performance of the DSLR doesn’t trump the ISO card of the X-Pro 1.“
Luminous Landscape posted an interesting Hands-on: “Their designs are brilliant, build quality is very high, and optical quality second to none. Now they just need to refine their functional execution to have class-leading products.“
As you see the X PRO 1 is a camera that polarizes a lot. Fuji needs to work on the weaknesses of the camera and find a way to price it a bit lower. Than they will have an even greater hotseller!

Maybe that’s where its at…the price. For that price, any other camera within that range can, functionally, give a better image in low light situations just because one is able to take the photograph in the first place. Even if in relative focus… it will be more in focus than the X Pro 1’s no focus image.
Manual focus on that fly by wire system is also pretty down. Tried it again this week past and I find it hard to accept it. I know many will flame me for this, but really that camera’s shortcomings for a ‘pro’ camera are significant to call it a professional working tool.
actually, price is already “dropping” in canada (kinda).
the body was 15% off in major brick and mortar stores during sales, bringing it down to 1450 CDN (approx 1450USD).
