Go on minute 2,45 to see the first Fuji X PRO 1 sniff test ever made 🙂
So, now that you have seen that weird sniff test you can focus your attention on the “serious” ISO testing made by these websites:
1) The famous blogger Ken Rockwell (Click here) compared the X100 and X PRO 1 with all recent FF cameras: “The Fuji X-Pro1 looks great, as clean as the D4 and usually sharper.”
2) Focus Numerique (Click here) also posted an ISO test comparison with the Sony NEX-7 and Olympus E-M5. They say that you can up to 6.400 ISO “without any hesitation“!
More bits: DC.watch (Click here) tested the X PRO 1. First image samples from Mike Kobal (Click here). The X PRO now gets beaten by the NEX-7 at Amazon (Click here to see the full ranking).

nice write up and very journalistic images on kobal’s blog, he loves the camera,hates the af
agree, fantastic shots on kobls blog, and krockwell’s teddybear iso crops make the xpro1 look really good, just wish they had added some samples with from the Nex7
And BorrowLenses.com has them for rent. http://www.borrowlenses.com/product/Fuji_xpro1 My rental starts Wednesday!
From MikeKobal.com :
“Oh baby, please, just focus! There was nothing challenging to focus on during this shoot, plenty of contrast and texture, nonetheless, I can’t recall a shoot in recent years with so many mis-focused images. This is serious, my friends, because the best sensor/lens/hybrid viewfinder won’t matter if the images are blurry! ” 😉
the kobal shots really capture the moment, another set of photos that screams buy the X Pro 1 🙂
That quote sure doesnt sound like I would want it to if I were to pay that much for just a body…
MF can be all the shite it wants to be (it has been since split screens) but AF on a 2012 body needs to be so fast nobody will even talk about it.
This is just bad publicity. Fuji needs to jump on this quick!:-/
I have to say the Nikon D7000 looks great as well. Still, I don’t see how the D800 wins that high ISO test as Ken says, to my eyes the 5D Mark III wins that test.
Yeah, I couldn’t believe how many D4 shots were out of focus in Knockwell’s test. Pathetic.
Man, that’s some bad hair. Bad, bad hair.
Did I say the sniffer has baaadddd hair??? 😐
Well, looking at Ken Rockwell’s ISO-test… imho the DSLR’s
are the winners! Especially at low ISO and some of them at
high ISO also!
greetings from Germany!

Admin, do you really think Ken Rockwell is creditable?
Is the sniffer creditable? His Steve Huff creditable? is Barack Obama creditable? Who cares?

Fuji X-Pro-1 Un-Boxing
http://photoheadonline.com/2012/04/07/fuji-x-pro-1-unboxing/
many thanks to admin for posting the link to my blog here, and thanks to everybody who took the time to check it out. My first reaction after that set of photos was to send it right back and be done with it. I still have the XPro1, it’s like being in love with a beautiful girl with (AF) issues….;)
JMO, I would love to have another objective review, but this comparison is hideous. None of the shots seem to be focused, and the comparisons are done differently. Is it that hard to get the same monkey head in all the shots? This makes Ken seem very suspect.
