LIghtroom 4.1 updated brings support for the X PRO 1. First tests!

Share

Finally Adobe released ACR v7.1 and Lightroom v4.1 that adds support for the X PRO 1.  Diglloyd posted a first test using the new Adobe RAW converter. Let me know if you find more tests with the new Adobe RAW converter! I am curious to see if Adobe managed to get out more from the X RAW files than other RAW programs!

UDPATE: Soundimagesplus posted a full Adobe converter test: “ACR is obviously a much more responsive and flexible programme, but it does seem that the unique nature of the sensor means that some of my normal techniques may not work so well. Interestingly, I have a preset saved that defaults to the parameters in the previous version of the Camera Raw plug-in, and I felt that I got slightly better results.

New X PRO 1 tests at Camerguide, Cameralabs and Digitalrev (Kai video)

Digitalrev (Click here) posted that short Xpro1 vs OM-D E-M5 vs NEX7 comparison video I embedded here on top. Kai (the reviewer) pretty much loves the Fuji :)

Cameralabs posted the full X PRO 1 review: “you could say the X-Pro1 takes digital photography back to the basics. It concentrates on doing the important stuff really well – the foremost being excellent image quality – adds some truly innovative features and ignores the rest. For serious photographers that’s a very attractive philosophy and one that will win the X-Pro1 a lot of admirers.
