The editors didn't like

Abstract: No doubt about that – it's this, the top-of-range new beauty from the lately reinvigorated Japanese Fujifilm, which aims soon to become the number-three camera brand after Nikon and Canon . I've already gushed this past year about the retro-styled Fujifil...

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...
