Yes manually focussing takes too many turns and the AF is rubbish – but the point of the X Pro 1 is that you get an interchangeable lens mount to put all your lovely manual focus glass on. The optical design of the Fuji X Pro 1’s viewfinder is superior – probably because it has more room to work with, being a bigger unit than the assembly on the NEX 7. If you don’t have your eye perfectly square to the viewfinder on the NEX 7, bright parts of the image ghost a little and corner sharpness falls off very readily. However it soon becomes apparent that there are subtle but important differences where the Fuji X Pro 1 does better than the NEX 7’s OLED. It is just that the NEX 7’s OLED panel set a very high benchmark. Compared to the GH2’s it does not throw rainbows around as you pan and it has a higher contrast with more lifelike colour. It isn’t actually that far off the Sony NEX 7’s OLED TruFinder and it is better than the one in the GH2. I feel I was too harsh on the EVF in my first look. It is the highest performing mirrorless camera in the world for stills and high ISO.Bespoke sensor design unlike any other CMOS.To a certain extent Fuji may be milking the interest they created with the X100 in the expansion of the X range and the price of the X Pro 1, but there’s a very solid non-speculative hardware related reason for the high price as well.
#Xpro 1 review 1080p
And the 1080p video mode – once you know the limitations – is capable of producing incredible results. Now in a surprised double-take, I am beginning to believe it is actually the best mirrorless on the market for stills. 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.
There is more to this camera than meets the eye.
