Ther eis no day without a new X PRO 1 test. So here is the next wrap up:
Engadget (Click here) posted their final X PRO 1 test: “The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a work of art, and like any masterpiece there’ll be some who hate it and others who get into heated bidding wars. If you’re sensible and price-conscious, then by rights you should be waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the Olympus OM-D E-M5. Or you should be looking at the X100, or even considering a DSLR, before investing this amount of money. But if the retro form factor befits your personality, you have an abundance of cash and you care about the subtleties of the sensor’s output, a powerful viewfinder and great controls, then there’s every reason to buy in.”

Ken Rockwell (Click here) the most famous photography blogger posted his final X PRO 1 review: “The Fuji X-Pro1 is an amazing one-of-a-kind camera. It has image quality and lenses more like my LEICA M9 than any DSLR, and it’s smaller and lighter than any DSLR — or LEICA. The X-Pro1 does what the LEICA M9 does well, even better than the M9 does it!”

Overall he is pretty impressed by the Fuji and recommends it to anyone that doesn’t shoot mainly landscapes (for that FF cameras are still better).

Brandon Remler (Click here) is testing the 60mm macro lens which is also the best of all three X lenses: “The sharpness is great and it’s a terrific lens to own.“

Our reader John Smith (Click here) posted a set of X PRO 1 pictures taken with the “old” Leica Tele Elmarit lens. I hope to see more tests with third party lenses. I think they will work better than on other mirrorless cameras. The NEX-7 for example has terrible corner issues on many lenses. But I hope Fuji will “steal” the peaking mode idea from Sony. That would help us a lot to focus with manual lenses!

The video on top has been made by Kai form Digitalrev and compares the three hottest cameras of the moment, the Fuji (of course), the Olympus E-M5 and Sony NEX-7. All three are on top of the Amazon sales rankings (here it is).

Of course this is a very personal statement made by Ken Rockwell (Click here) made it’s nice to read it anyway: “World’s Best Digital Camera? It’s been the LEICA M9 since 2009, and the X-Pro1 just might take that crown away from the M9. We’ll see. The M9 wins because it makes great images and handles well, even if the M9 is noisy and klunky compared to a real LEICA, but the X-Pro1 seems to offer the same or better image quality, with the same brilliant simplicity, with a body design that’s 60 years ahead of the primitive LEICA M9.”

Mike Kobal (Click here) made a short NEX-7 versus Fuji X PRO 1 comparison.

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:

50mm JPEG comparison between the X PRO 1 and E-M5: http://dslr-check.info/2012/0418a.jpg
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.“
