During my work in Venice I spotted the Fuji X PRO 1 in a small store close to Canal Grande. Actually a bog surprise for me to see it there! P.S.: I didn’t buy it because the price was actually higher than the price set by Fuji. Another X PRO 1 has been spotted in Holland at Fotohanskeuzekamp (see image on top). And if all works fine than also our USA readers will have the chance see the X PRO 1 in Stock at BHphoto tomorrow (Click here).
Now let’s talk about the new X PRo 1 tests and reviews that have been posted around the web:
– The Hyperprime 50mm f/0.95 got tested on the new X PRo 1 at f8photography (Click here).
– Image samples at Letsgodigital (Click here).
– X PRO 1 review by Derekclarkphotography (Click here) who says “The sensor alone makes the X-Pro1 worth buying, but even if it had the same sensor as the X100, it would still be a great camera and I highly recommend it.“
– Wedding pictures at The Scades (Click here).
– second look and video mode at EosHD (Click here).
– Another review at Cederphotography (Click here) and he compared the image quality with the 5DmarkII (not the new markIII).
Enjoy the reading!

So – booth Admin of this site and the collegue of Fujirumors has been in Venice and spotted a X-pro1 in a shop… What a small world of rumors? 🙂
Look over Function
In the Netherlands, only the body is available at many places. No lenses.
Henry’s Canada called last week notifying me that my Fuji X-Pro 1 was ready for pick up, but I declined to pick it up. After the poor performance from reviewers I’ll keep my Pentax K-5, Leica M8, Panasonic G2 and GF2 and my pre-ordered Olympus OM-D E-M5.
I was able to buy from Henry’s Canada (for US shipment) so I appreciate everyone who cancelled. (I’m being serious)
Wrong choice ! Nex-7 had better reviews at first but seems struggling a lot with most of lenses. Fuji X-Pro 1 has more and more good reviews and pics samples on Flickr are really impressive…
Could it be?!?:)
may i hear about an update to the order i placed on amazon within the hour it was available for preorder?!?!
Pweaseeeee!?
so, you are here and you do not tell anything?!
drop a line to my private adress if you want to have a coffee or a beer tomorrow night.
🙂
eat your own bad review EosHD.
Imaging Resource now has samples up:

Guess what? It’s soft with odd artefacts (check out the text on the proportional scale). Looks like Fuji’s seemingly brilliant bayer arrangement isn’t so brilliant after all.
Be sure to click those with noise reduction turned off, or wait for RAW support.
In Sweden camera and lenses are available. The price is 20% higher than in rest of Europe though.
In Russia it is available through one of the major consumer electronics retailer at USD2k body only.
Just got my hands on a X-pro1: Not big, light, yet feels solid. No lens on it though. The front is very neutral/anonymus good for street photo.
Hexx: Thx for your impressions from X100 experience!
There is room for software improvements as proposed by ReidReviews, but camera “hardware” is definately great and what I need/want.
The X pro 1 and lenses are already on sale in London. £1429 body only if you want one.
Apparently it’s already out in Canada. These guys seem to have all the X-PRO 1 line!: http://fuji-x.camtecphoto.com/index.php?ENC=0&SS=58
I don’t know if the ships in the States though.
I bought the X-Pro1 + 35mm last Monday here in Switzerland. The shop I bought from had several in stock this week. More to be shipped to them today…
Still no sign of the 18mm lens though.
Hi guys, I live in Italy and it’s about 15 days that I have the Xpro1 with all 3 lenses… it’s easy to find all of them here 😉
