The editors didn't like
The camera is not as responsive as a DSLR and the 60mm lens is slow to focus and hunts around
Even in situations with decent contrast. There is no dioptre adjustment for the viewfinder which meant that we — spectacle wearer — couldn't use it. The user ma
Abstract: The X-Pro1’s real highlight is its image quality. Fuji claims that it can compete with, if not better, full-frame DSLR rivals, and they’ve backed this up with a camera that takes exceptionally sharp and detailed images, has intuitive controls...

We were also bugged by the X-Pro1's lack of shutter speed and ISO adjustment in video mode. This essentially makes the large shutter speed dial on the top of the camera useless in movie mode, which is a downright shame. Aperture can be set in video mode, ...

It's no longer true to call the X-Pro1's retro inspiration "groundbreaking." After all, Fuji has already found success with its X100 and X10 cameras, not to mention similar efforts by the Olympus PEN series and the OM-D E-M5 . However the X-Pro1 is certai...
Great looks; Good still images; Sharp lenses; decent value body; Loads of manual controls
Small lens selection; Lenses are rather pricey
You can run about snapping quick shots with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 set to auto, or take your time and enjoy the art of composing great pictures with close to full manual control -- it's up to you. Either way, it's a joy to use, and the results won't disap...
Stunningly high build quality will tempt those who may have been lusting after an even more expensive Leica rangefinder camer, plus we love the extremely high resolution LCD and EVF/optical viewfinde
The priciest Compact System Camera (CSC) out ther, auto focus a little sluggish especially during video recordin, rear LCD not angle adjustabl, EVF provides more accurate view than optical finder
We did manage to take some lovely, creamily ‘filmic’ results with this Fuji, but with a slightly slow auto focus that encourages manual use, this is a complex beast that requires persistence and perseverance to achieve the stunning results it’s capable...

Full manual photographic control, Leica-like construction that feels solid enough to withstand a war, very high resolution LCD and sensor activated EVF/optical viewfinder too
The high-end price tag, rear LCD not angle adjustable, AF slow to snap back into focus if adjusting framing when shooting video
Basically a digital version of Leica’s pro-end rangefinder cameras yet with different branding, the Fuji X-Pro1 is a superb interchangeable lens system camera option for anyone looking to find a compact good enough to justify leaving that pro-grade DSL...
Incredibly impressive CMOS sensor: excellent image quality up to 6400 ISO, superb sharpness with good lenses, Good build quality, good grip, Hybrid viewfinder: nice to use in optical and electronic modes, Practical to use in manual exposure mode
Finish could be better in places (buttons made from lowgrade plastic), Controls and handling can sometimes be strange (clickable thumbwheel with practically no uses, no lock on exposure correction dial), Autofocus is inconsistent, especially in low light, Low battery life, no battery guide (to help you get it in the right way round)
The Fuji X-Pro1 is a very nice camera that takes excellent-quality pictures—better than any other APS sensor camera out there, in fact. However, it's let down by its rather strange handling and its unreliable autofocus in low light. In the end, it's no...
