Fujifilm X-Pro1

實拍照片

Easy to handle, good image quality. Good for travel, like weight, not intrusive, good for street photography. Anyone cannot afford a Leica M, should consider to buy this, better than M4/3, can use any manual lenses on the market or you have except M4/3 lens. There are a lot of lens adapters on the market, cheap or expensive one.

AF is a bit slow, but if you know how to use it, it is still quick. When doing focusing, must point the sensor to something with edges. Then it has no problem. Actually, I like to use manual focus instead. One problem with this camera, still waiting the answer from Fuji, when the battery is very low, the image in the OVF/EVF is enlarge, like cropped. After recharging the battery, need to do a reset of the camera from the menu, then the image becomes normal again. Battery cannot last for one day shooting, need extra batteries for travelling. Also, don't know why there is no diopter adjustment with the viewfinder for this price, hard to find or determine a right diopter, Also, from the manual, they said using Cosina diopter, actually, we can use the old Nikon FE, FM diopter, they are the same, hard to find a Cosina diopter in the market.

Received answer from Fuji technician, they said if you hold the switch of OVF/EVF for few seconds, the image will reset to normal. Actually, this function was not mentioned in the user manual.

I bought it with the 35mm f1.4 lens. Image quality is excellent; Low noise; Very sharp; AF is bit slow, but if you know how to use it, it is OK; MF is good; EV is accurate; OVF and EVF are useful, a lot of informations. Anyone using it must understand the manual first.

Just read from DCfever review for Fuji X pro1 and Olympus OMD EM5, the following are quoted from the review.

"不過機底的三腳架插孔位置卻竟然不是位於鏡頭中軸，以腳架拍攝 Panorama 全景相片時會出現少許偏差。這雖然可能是微不足道的缺點，不過連小巧至 NEX-5N 般的無反都做到了，這兩部體積更大、號稱更專業的無反相機卻做不到，真令人百思不得其解"

The writer overlooks one thing is, the corrected AF frame 自動對焦偏差補償 of the X-Pro 1, the 偏差 should be for the OVF viewing, if you press the shutter for focusing using OVF, the frame will change automatically side way a bit. May be that is why they positioned the tripod hole not at the center of the body.

After I used it for nearly a one month, I successfully found the suitable diopter for my eye, is a Nikon +2 diopter. I needed to consult with my friend, owner of an eye glasses shop, have to do some test physically before I bought the +2 from eBay.

After all the latest firmware updated, I found I have no problem with this camera. I used it for a bicycle race recently, It could take billiant sharp photos using the 35mm f1.4 lens. I also used my old Jupter 9 f2 85mm lens for these action photos too. See the link below :

There is no prolbem for the quality of the image when comparing with other high end cameras, sometimes is even better, specially using high ISO.

1. Elegant body design
2. Very good picture quality
3. Very good noise control
4. Accurate white balance
5. Large aperture lenses
6. Very good colour saturation
7. Not heavy
8. Good design of viewfinder
9. Good leather case design

1. Slow AF
2. Build quality of lenses are not good
3. No Auto Aperture Lock
4. Not convenient to use Movie function
5. Marco function has to switch on instead of continue focus to marco distance

I am a user of several camera system, including Leica M9 and NEX7.
It is not fair to compare it with Leica since the price is almost triple including lens as Leica wins most day light situation. But for night shooting, Fuji has its' strengths on ISO and noise level.
When comparing the NEX7, I would say the picture quality is better as the noise level is a bit high for Sony. Moreover, the colour is more saturated. Despite these aspects, I love the build quality of Sony Zeiss 24mm F1.8 as the build quality of Fuji lenses are a bit weak. Besides, the focus response of Fuji is slower than Sony.

高iso可用
外觀唔錯
造工都過得去
Q menu 好用
操作尚算順手

OVF我唔識欣賞，覺得麻麻地好用
拍片唔掂
原廠鏡MF廢到極
快門的轉盤個LOCK制麻麻
EV +/-制容易轉到

之前出得XPRO 1 一部機，冇參考價，貴D都買佢，因為市場少有的外觀及畫質
畫質OK，比起其他品牌無反都好少少
高ISO可用到ISO2000
ISO再上都OK，少許油畫可接受
色水見人見智
Firmware上左2.0後，機能明顯改善

出左XE1之後，我建議大家睇定D先決定買邊部，個OVF唔值貴咁多....
而家只好安慰自己，用萬3蚊買唔到一部咁有型O既換鏡機仔啦

Very cool looking . Picture Quality is very Nice.

Auto ISO only from 200-3200. ISO 100 or 6400 only for manual.No Flash. No zoom len at this moment.

New firmware 1.1 on both lens and body have released . I like fujifilm attitude.After I see the result (PQ), I thnk most of the quirks I will accept .I am no regret to buy even it is very expensive.

現時買真係抵玩，其他的也不再複述了。更新了軟件，反應改善了。

暫時未發現，留待發現。

首次用無反機，追求的是輕，部機無令我失望，勿要求它能夠反應好快，要快的用DSLR更好，兩個不同系統，是不能比較的。用它要重新適應，要花點時間去學，總可以再發掘它的優點。

手感好色靚等等.....大家都講了

對焦慢,但用定焦鏡又唔覺慢

我第一部數碼相機係富士,當年用SUPER CCD,朋友又有一部富士單反,又係SUPER CCD,當我用X-E2,感覺好正,SHARP,色靚,但當我再用PRO 1,先知X-E2欠甚麼,就係當年富士CCD嗰種影子,不是用SHARP,高對比去吸引人,而係用顏色通透柔和又艷麗,不會一看就殺那間"嘩"一聲好正,而係越看先感到,PRO1自然無數碼味精,後悔當年無入S5 PRO,好采今日有PRO 1
