New Fuji X PRO 1 test!
It looks like Romania photographers are having a special connection to Fuji. this is already the second exclusive test posted by a Romanian photographer!
After vladdodan.ro website (Click here) now you can see a new test at F64 (Click here). The reviewer compared the ISO results with the Fuji X100 and Nikon D3. His conclusions in short:
1) At high ISO the X PRO 1 beats both the e X100 and D3 cameras.
2) Shutter noise is similar to that of the Zeiss Ikon.
3) The 18mm lens suffers from some purple fringing (but Fuji could add an automatic lens correction once finalized the firmware).
4) manual focusing has been improved over the X100 but the reviewer is still not completely satisfied with the performance. Also autofocus isn’t really fast.
5) What matters: Image quality is spectacular.
Thanks Romania! Without you we would havn’t seen any ISO test at all!

Let’s face it and not talk marketing terms.
MF sucks and the AF is slow
Not what I was craving for, oh well I guess Fuji is out of the race. Now I am left with the Pentax announcment a NEX-7 (altough not with any of the lenses that are out now).
Or even the Oly OM-D (if the Sensor is as good as the one from the NEX-5N up to ISO 3200/6400 I am pretty much sold)
I really fell in love with the Fuji and the way everything works (aperture ring etc).

NEX-7 seems nice but since its sensor is same as a77 so I’m worried about the image quality on middle to high ISO since a77 did awful work.
It’s nice if X-Pro1 can have a fast AF, but since most of mirror less cameras have contrast AF, so I don’t think it’s gonna make too much differences.
I saw couple videos that shows X-Pro1′s AF on youtube and it was “that” bad.
Only problem I have now is…. how I am supposed to collect some lenses for X-Pro1 since I’m a sony user and having some lenses for its system…

I think reviews will bring this camera into realistic terms again. Sure seems that way to me. Its awfully quiet.

The Ikon is louder than a Leica M film camera (nearly silent), but nowhere near as loud as most DSLRs.
It’s “awfully quiet” as you say

2 years ago |Ok, I’ve preordered one with at least the 18 and 35 lenses, option of the 60.
As far as the AF and Manual focus are concerned, unless it is totally unusable, I’ll just live with it. I’m a landscape shooter so I really doubt the problems are going to be too drastic, but if they are I’ll find out before release and act accordingly.
Sensor results so far are sensational.

2 years ago |Greetings. I am most anxious to see formal test results with a production model of the Fuji X-PRO1. I expect extremely high image quality, i.e., sharpness and detail, due to the absence of a Low-Pass (Bayer) filter as well as the stellar Fujinon lenses!
