The Taiwanese magazine MAG (Click here) made that picture showing an apparently “Fata Morgana” effect. It looks like the girls are holding a Silver X PRO 1 version but some of our readers confirmed that this was just an effect created by the intense light. There cameras are indeed black 🙁
Don’t know if there will be ever a silver version ( I would like it!). Back from the fantasy world here are two real news sent me by the original reviewers:
1) “Image samples from Fujifilm X-Pro1 (not pre-production!) showing ISO-performance and center/corner sharpness of the 18 mm and 35 mm lenses:
http://www.akam.no/artikler/sjekk-bildekvaliteten-pa-fujifilm-x-pro1/107175
Norwegian words:
Senterskarphet = center sharpness
Hjørneskarphet = corner sharpness“
2) “I am a professional wedding/portrait/travel photographer in Canada who has been recently engaged by Fujifilm Canada to shoot some promotional images with a pre-preproduction X-Pro 1 for their upcoming product launch in Canada. They have also asked me to provide feedback about the camera system to them.
They have asked me not to share any images I shoot (yet) as they want to present them to the press/public at the product launch, however, they gave me permission to discuss my thoughts about the camera.
I have written a “working review” as I have been using the camera for a week in my studio on live client work. Fujifilm really wanted to know how the camera performs on the job, so I approached my review from that “working photographer” perspective.
If you would like to see the review (and maybe show it to your readers), you can find it at:

The 18mm looks worthless
i was returning here to complain about x-pro’s disappointing flickr images but whoa! want the silver, now!
The review in holyfspot is a great review. It shows the X Pro-1 as it really is : un very good camera, easy set up, great images. Right the 18mm is a little disappointing, sure. I ‘m expecting M-mount lens adapter and lab reviews to check it out. If M-mount work well on this system (in comparison with the Nex-7), it will definitively be the system I choose. A silver version is very attracting too.
Silver? That’s just overblown highlights. There are other photos from this set show that it is black.
Do you really think that they would be showing a silver xpro at a fuji event without any mention of it till now???
I could understand if it was one of those hidden, spyshots prior to release.
Absurd.
Best info about X Pro1 so far. Seems this system will deliver usability and image quality along with portability. Will be interesting to see reviews from “the big ones” and not least ReidReviews. Based on the reasoning of the later I will make my decision.
They’re not silver, it’s just light reflecting off the metal body making it look silver, they’re black.
Here’s another image from the same event, same models holding the camera http://i.imgur.com/26Ktq.jpg
The silver one is in Japan, the X-pro 1 in the meeting, I can confirm it’s all black.
And there are some x-pro 1 already in stock in Taiwan.
And my forum friend got one, and take some shots with it, Just look at the link below:

You all could judge the performance on the x-pro 1 +35 1.4
Wow…the bokeh of that 35mm 1.4 is sooo ugly!
