Thanks, got it!
Camera + 18mm + 60mm preordered
And no 35mm? 🙂
He he… will be getting that at some point too… but my normal shooting tends to be either wide or using a portrait style focal length, so to not completely squeeze my wallet for everything I figured this was a good starting kit 😉
Pre-ordered the body + 35mm!
Pre-ordered 3 bodies + 6 lenses, I’ll put it on ebay of course to make some extra cash because fortunatly it’ll be shortage on this camera for sure… 😉 LOL
he he.. I really hope you put your order in after mine… if I end up having to buy from you through ebay, I will hunt you down and beat you with a pickled herring! 😉
Dont worry, no one will buy this shit, u wont sell
I’m with you, Fuji is on crack. I can see $600 for the lens(Mirrorless Premium) but $1700 for the body is $500 overpriced… I hope consumers speak with their wallets so Fuji drops this down to buy some more market share. Either that or I hope Sony gets their act together and release decent lens for their NEX systems.
I’m sure it won’t appeal to the general photography market, but there are a lot of people who still find the Konica Hexar style of working with a camera to be the one that fit’s them the best and also a lot that want a digital rangefinder but can’t afford a Leica M series. For them, the x pro 1 is perfect. For me, the x pro seems like the perfect blend of a Konica Hexar and a Hasselblad XPan (which was build by fuji)… two of the cameras that I have enjoyed the most, but brought into the digital world. The sensor might not end up being revolutionary or even better than the current crop of pro and prosumer cameras, but from the results that are up now, it is certainly good enough.
And why would anyone buy Canons archaic crap either?
At some point, people who actually wanted this camera (and lenses) won’t be able to get it (at reasonable prices) because of people like you hogging it to make a quick profit. Thanks a lot, ass.
That’s exactly what I meant with this sarcastic remark (and even with my pseudonym) ! 😉
@ Kasper: don’t worry 🙂 I prefer waiting for the reviews and more details about manual focus assist to make a decision if I get the X-pro1…
I had a look at the manual. It doesn’t look like this camera will have anything more than magnification for manual focus assist.
$1700 is too rich for me with this camera! Good luck to you all
Yeah..$1700 is too expensive according to its overall performance. So disappointed.
I just added all 4 items to my shopping cart for a cool $3,549.80, took a look at the price again and decided not to hurry.
Yeah, final price is little hard to swallow, especially with Ricoh GXR-M working out well for me. I think if I splurged, my money be better spent on a used Summilux instead.
admin you getting on my nerves.. what are you a 12 years old kid?
Oh, what a splendidly mature comment!! Congratulations!!!!
What bothers me most so far is that images from the x-pro 1 don’t look as sharp as those shot with the X100. Like this picture :

it’s interesting you’re linking to X100 f/2 shot. I find my X100 a bit soft at f/2, much softer than at f/2.8
For me, and I realize I don’t represent the majority, I am disappointed that there is no image stabilization in either the body or lenses. Fuji’s lens road map indicates IS will be included in the zoom lens so perhaps I’ll wait and give that a try, though I really prefer a three prime lens setup. I really would rather have this camera than the NEX-7 but at least some of those Sony lenses have IS.
Image stabilization would have been nice!
Interesting system, but this is only rev1 and many others are coming, so what’s the rush? I’ll let someone else to deal with upcoming problems.
I agree… image stabilization would have been nice, but as you say.. this is the first cam in a new system.
I’m switching to this from an Olympus E-3… I loved the lenses and color rendering on the Olympus, but the resolution (and soft image at that) was starting to get in my way more and more. So for me, this first Fuji x pro came at the right time, there was still a good value gotten by selling my old equipment, allowing me to be an early adopter without too much of a strain.
I will wait and see. It’s too risky to invest in a $2000, unproven camera system.
