The editors didn't like

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 priciest Compact System Camera (CSC) out there

Abstract: There's was a time, not long ago, when the Fujifilm X-Pro1 was at the top-of-the-heap of the mirrorless camera world. Nowadays, though, you can get this retro-style digital camera for a reasonable price, which is why classic camera reviewer Mattias Burlin...

Great high ISO images. X-Trans image sensor. Hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder. Sharp rear display. Excellent control layout. Sturdy build. PC sync flash socket. Continued firmware update support.
A little slow to focus. Lacks built-in flash. Not a good choice for video. No mic input
The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a top-notch mirrorless camera that is sure to appeal to optical viewfinder fans that are put off by the high price of Leica rangefinders....
Abstract: The Pentax K-3 is the company's latest range-topping DSLR, which means another robustly constructed, well-proportioned camera built with photographers in mind. The 24MP K-3 does without an anti-aliasing filter, instead offering the unique option of shifti...
Abstract: The photography enthusiast has never had such a wide choice of great cameras to choose from - with the advent of mirrorless cameras swelling the ranks of highly capable cameras available for around $1,200. Although there's not always a difference in image...
Abstract: What a camera. Despite my whining above about the v1 firmware autofocus speed, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 has accurate autofocus. The v2 firmware update eliminated some of the camera's usability quirks, and improved autofocus speed and SD card write speed so...

If you have the money—and its a lot of money—yes, buy it. It isnt just style without substance here. Its not a point-and-shoot. It is a camera that might make you work a bit, but it will reward you with great pictures (and jealousy from your photog fri...

Relatively compact and somewhat inconspicuous retrostyle, interchangeablelensbased camera system, extremely highquality images for the price, excellent skin tones right out of the camera, additional system lenses and accessories expected soon
Slightly quirky operation including some questionable placement of buttons, inconsistent and slow focus in lowlight/lowcontrast conditions, optional Assist Grip must be removed in order to access the battery/SD card compartment
During my first day of shooting with the Fuji X-Pro1, I did a simple side-by-side comparison between it and a Canon 5D Mark II, the popular 21.1-megapixel full-frame professional DSLR. Screen images and actual prints from both cameras had very comparable ...
Very good still images, Exceptional high ISO performance, Good ergonomics, styling
Cost, No continous AF in burst mode, No diopter adjustment for VF
The X-Pro1 is a camera that's hard not to like - the retro rangefinder look is cool, controls are nicely placed and materials, build quality and overall fit and finish are quite nice. Auto focus and shutter lag performance are good, as is image quality ...

Unfortunately, the Fujifilm X-Pro1's positives as a video camera—strong color rendition and impressive low light performance—are severely outweighed by the camera's poor controls in video mode. The unreliable autofocus system drove us crazy at time...
