Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 16, 2012 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2012 [html][img]http://www.eoshd.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/fuji-x-pro-1-without-lens.jpg[/img]There is more to this camera than meets the eye. In my first look I was rather taken aback by the eccentricities of the camera and just could not work out what it offered over the cheaper NEX 7. Now in a surprised double-take, I am beginning to believe it is actually the best mirrorless on the market for stills. And the 1080p video mode – once you know the limitations – is capable of producing incredible results.[url="http://www.eoshd.com/content/7505/fuji-x-pro-1-second-look-and-video-mode/"]Read full article[/url][/html] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The still images really are special from all the samples I have seen. My local shop gets them in soon - might get one because there are now a few Leica M adapters for it. Have you had any fun with the film simulation modes? I LOVED shooting Astia when I was younger - all my girlfriends and boyfriends skin looked so smooth and velvety when we would shoot through rolls. Cheers!

sley43 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hello Andrew, could you upload sample RAW files from the fuji, that show of the better per pixel resolution ? Which RAW converter do you recommend for this camera? with regards, Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 16, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm using the bundled Silkypix raw converter as Camera Raw and Photoshop doesn't support the X Pro 1 at the moment - since it is new, and they are slow. Yes agree on Astia, Sara, favourite film mode on X Pro 1 by a mile!! The standard one brings out the shadows better but Astia has better tonality.

Antoine Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 "Video optimised image processing, encoding and sensor output counts for a lot in video mode – even though the X Pro 1 has a far superior sensor than the GH2 has, it is nowhere near in terms of clean resolution without artefacts." I guess all this is a matter of firmware management of the sensor data and video quality can be improved with video optimized firmware change, no? ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 How does it's video quality compare to Fuji X10 camera? Regards,M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doing Alright Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks for sharing your insights on this camera. It helped to tip the balance and I purchased the camera via Amazon, I like their 30 day return policy. On the adapter front, I took your guidance and purchased an F Mount adapter from Kipon. The quality seemed high, the machining is really clean but read on. Luckily, I mounted the Lens on the adapter first. Grrrr. If I can figure out how to dismount the lens, I will risk it and put all three together. Make sure you test in some way the machining of the adapter. My wee technique might be the only way I just hope it is not terminal. Will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
