Our reader Tim found that new Canon to X mount adapter (here on eBay)! It has been made by R-aerphoto (never heard of it before) and is already shipping. Weird that there was no press release for that as this adapter is actually the first that will allow you to use EOS lenses on your X PRO 1.
Soooo many new reviews guys! If you are still having some doubts if you should get the X PRO 1 or not just read these reviews :)
Imaging Resource (Click here) pubslished a full X PRO 1 review: “It’s not just a retro look that distinguishes the Fujifilm X-Pro1, but its cutting-edge hybrid optical viewfinder and emphasis on quality prime lenses. Excellent image quality with very clean detail is the extra surprise inside.”
DSLRcheck is posting many interetsing mirrorless camera comparisons. Here is the list:

The X PRO 1 clearly has the edge!
First Impressions: Sony NEX 7 vs Fujifilm X Pro 1 vs Olympus EM5 OMD at ThePhoBlographer (Click here): “This is a three way tie. OMD wins for autofocusing, NEX 7 wins for manually focusing in real life, and the X Pro 1 wins for the easiest ergonomics and getting your settings right if you’re a manual shooter.“
More and more adapters are being announced for the X mount and here is the next! It is a “Cooke RED Angenieux Zeiss Arri PL to Fuji Fujifilm X-Pro1 adapter” which is right now availbale for preorder on eBay Poland (Click here).
Cnet (Click here) published the full X PRO 1 review: “The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a nice compromise if you can’t afford a Leica but want to approximate the experience and get some stunning photo quality to boot.”

First X PRO 1 impressions at Pfflynn (Click here): “Overall, I commend the Fuji people on sorting out a concise but natural and comprehensive camera control system. Nikon shooters should adapt to the Fuji system quite easily.”
Ken Rockwell (Click here) keeps sharing positive thoughts about the X PRO 1 system: “This Fuji normal lens is as good or better than LEICA’s best: ultrasharp even at f/1.4 right out to the edges, and devoid of distortion. Ha!”
