Fuji X-Pro1 Review | Bede McCarthy

See on Scoop.itFuji X-Pro1

You can’t shoot sports with this camera, and video is for casual use only. Studio is an option, but unless you invest in Fuji’s TTL system, you’ll be setting exposure and power manually, which I don’t imagine will faze most pros who work with big strobes and have to set them manually anyway.

Primarily, the X-Pro1 is a street or landscape shooter: subtle and stylish, feels great in the hand, with a three-lens kit you can carry around all day.

I’m keeping my X-Pro1, and I’ll use it wherever I can, keeping the D700 for those occasions only a mature system like Nikon’s can handle. Who knows, if Fuji come out with a remote trigger and a few other goodies, I may even be able to ditch the SLR altogether. But we’re not there yet.

Buy an extra battery and, if you can afford it, the grip. Use fast, UHS-1 memory cards to get the best out of it. Learn about the focus system and work with it; don’t fight with it. You’ll be rewarded with stunning image quality; the rest is up to you.
