Why do we always get ripped off on price here in the UK?
Again, I want to buy this camera, but no way I’m doing it before I read some serious reviews and see more pictures. What the hell is Fuji doing? Why this almost zero pre-launch pictures or reviews? It makes me suspicious of it and that’s another reason to wait before buying into a new, unproven system.
I became so deflated when it launched because of:
No weather sealing.
No Focus peaking for legacy lenses (let’s see how fast they implement this with a firmware update).
Focus-by-wire for system lenses with no variable control like some of the Zuiko’s for M43.
Seemingly uncompetitive AF.
Price.
Plus poor video capabilities but that matters least to me. This is what happens when you add “pro” to the camera’s name. If you can’t have either stellar MF or fast AF then you have nothing. They also should’ve gone the Gillette model and made the camera body cheaper (or add weather sealing to justify price somewhat) and charge a buttload for lenses (or at the very least complement what’s there with a sort of “heritage” line with beefed up construction and hard stops for hyper-focal distancing).
The OM-D may have the set of compromises I’d be willing to deal with. NEX-7 was close but is so hurt by its current lens lineup it’s not funny. The future roadmap is not very fruitful either.
It is rather suspicious that we have about a week left before the Japan release date and still no reviews at all. The Fuji Guys havent even released the 2 videos that they had promised.
But we shall see… There is still time. I do see new images popping up every week it seems. Hopefully they will give someone who is used to doing reviews a pre-production model to review. Steve huff, DPreview, Ken Rockwell, Kai @ DigitalRev…. SOMEBODY!
That pricing is absurd.
At this pricing Fujifilm needs to show something top notch. Maybe that’s why there’s no testing yet.
More comments on slow auto-focus and now slow image processing? 😡
those image samples dont stand out at all, and it claims to be BETTER than current full frames how?
still dont get how the pinhole looking “external” autofocus will work with different lenses. looks like a rangefinder, without the rangefinder, and manual focus no focus peak?
Considering the new Olympus’ offering in OMD is at $1000, Fuji should consider to offer one standard lens free of charge to go with X-Pro body at the current body listing price. Or the earlier success story of X100 can’t be replicated for certain. At $1699 + lens price of $599, All the potential fan base would have gone for OMD(low budget) and Nikon D4/D800(potential professional uses) by the time of X-Pro’s arrival.
Also will go for olympus omd becouse no lens with it & there is a slow autofocus, fuji you must learn on old mistakes, X10 is great but usless for night shoots.
