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...

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...

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...
I had high hopes for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 when it was announced and, having tested it, I am pleased to say that I am not disappointed. Like the companys own X100, the X-Pro1 does have its quirks, and aspects such as AF speed could be improved, but it hand...

Doesn't come cheap

Centre, locked continuous autofocus, Manual focus tricky with EVF
If you are an experienced photographer who's not concerned about having scene modes and ultra-fast autofocusing, there's lots to like about the Fuji X-Pro1. Setting the exposure via an aperture ring and a shutter speed dial seems to come naturally, and t...

Expensive, LCD not angle adjustable, Slow auto focus on video
Without access to a computer or a printer on which to study the images, it’s quite difficult to evaluate how well the Fufifilm X-Pro1 executes its main purpose. Judging entirely by the camera’s own LCD, we're looking at stellar picture quality—as it s
