If you have used a rangefinder in the past then this might be for you. If you have a good understanding of the fundamentals of photography, again it might be a camera for you. If your more interested in image quality than ease of use, then this camera is truly amazing.... In my opinion it's not a camera for a newbie or those who shoot fast moving subjects. What it excels at is street and landscape shooting as well as general snapshots. I love my Xpro1...but would lend a friend a different camera if they forgot their's. I give the X-pro1 four stars for Image quality and build. It looses a star for auto focus and battery life. Although the auto focus has improved greatly with firmware updates over time....battery life is still poor. Recently I picked up an Fuji XE1 and if I had to do it all over again I'd buy the XE1 over the Xpro1. The same guts in a smaller more efficient package...with better focusing and the same image quality. Your mileage may differ....Read full review

This is a great camera now at a very good price. This example arrived in very good condition and quickly. I'm a Canon man, so I now need to learn and use the fuji x system, but my first examples are good, and image quality is super. This is a poor man's Lieca rangefinder, and in many ways a better camera, i.e. fuji tenges are superb, I recommend tha f2.0 50mm for starters on this body. It focuses very quickly. I love the silence of this camera, the size in my hands, and the feel of a rangefinder with modern digital capacity. Now, all I need to do is learn it and us it. It's a great value for someone wanting to get into the rangefinder either for street shooting or quiet portraiture.

Take this with a grain of salt of you want being that I'm kinda a "noob" photographer only been doing it for a year and a half or so but the X-pro 1 is my third camera and I fell so much in love with it. Super easy to pick up and use and learn. The menus are set up to flow so well! Plus not only does Fujifilm have some really amazing glass but you can use virtually any lens on this thing. Plus I fell in love with the perfect combination of old school and new. I love all the old film cameras and rangefinders but I'm just not a huge fan of film. One thing I can think of that does kinda suck about the X-pro 1 is if you're looking to do something like long exposure shots it's gonna be a lot harder. You can't get a remote shutter control for it. You have to buy an old school cable release that screws into the shutter button hole. I haven't acquired one yet but I'd like to. But the ergos of the X-pro 1 are just amazing specially combined with the Fuji 27mm f/2.8 its almost pocketable depending how big your pockets are. Example I wear sweatpants a lot(I'm lazy and like being comfortable) and it'll fit right in there. Once I bought the 27mm I pretty much don't leave my house without the X-pro 1 just in case. Hope this helps someone out there!Read full review

I bought an X-Pro1 because I wanted to have a lighter camera bag than my current collection of Nikon iron. The camera gives remarkable photos used with either Leica M lenses (with an adapter) or native Fuji autofocus lenses. The colors are saturated and sharp, and to my eyes are superior to those I get with a Nikon D7000, which has a comparably sized sensor. Highly recommended!

I am a Leica user most of my entire photographic life. Also Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, and Canon user. However the M2 Leica was my main weapon of choice for capturing photos. Of course, film was no longer an ideal medium for me and I toyed with the next best format, the M4/3 Lumix series of GX and GF cameras. My brother bought a "walk around camera", the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and he let me use it one night and I was blown away. This camera came so close to my expectations of an M series camera but better! This camera permits me to use my legacy lenses such as my 28mm Elmarit, 50mm Summicron, etc. I was also intrigued with Minolta Rokkor lenses, Fujinar lenses, Takumar lenses, etc. I shoot mostly legacy lenses and am quite happy with the results. I recommend if you have never shot with an optical viewfinder and you plan on using native lenses that you buy a companion book on the full utilization of the Fuji X-Pro1. If you have shot with an OVF system in the past, you will migrate nicely and quite intuitively to using the X-Pro1 camera and be quite happy with legacy lenses you may now own! Fuji supports this camera with firmware updates and are quite responsive on their customer support and website. Do it!Read full review
