Fujifilm
X-Series
Fujifilm’s X series has been
creating some pretty impressive waves across the camera verse. It all started
back in 2011 with the X-100, the first compact featuring an APS-C sized sensor
in a body that would send waves of nostalgia amongst the old time
photographers.
ü Fujifilm-designed 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor
ü Novel color filter array to suppress color
moiré, no optical low-pass filter
ü EXR Processor Pro image processor
ü Dual-magnification hybrid optical / electronic
viewfinder
ü Analogue dials for shutter speed and exposure
compensation on top of camera
ü All-new, fully electronic X lens mount; 17.7mm
flange-to-sensor distance
ü Three 'XF' lenses at launch: XF 18mm F2 R, XF
35mm F1.4 R, and XF 60mm F2.4 R Macro
ü Prime lenses have traditional-style aperture
rings (1/3 stop increments) and large manual focus rings
ü Revised rear-panel control layout
ü On-screen 'Q' control panel and redesigned
tabbed menu system
ü Focal-plane shutter, 1/4000 sec max speed
ü 3.0" RGBW 1.23M dot LCD
Still, there's no question
the Fujifilm X-Pro1 is an excellent camera in its own right. It's a different
way of shooting, for sure. While we were disappointed with the X100 for its
many bugs and idiosyncrasies, Fujifilm successfully moved away from most of
that with the X-Pro1, producing a surprisingly excellent digital camera system
that we recommend very highly to anyone who enjoys photography enough to try
something new.
