At the top of the rear panel there is the viewfinder, about which more in a moment, a view mode button for toggling between the screen and viewfinder and a command dial used for menu selection and manual focus magnification.Ī PC flash sync socket is located on left side of the camera body and a plastic door on the right side protects the USB and mini HDMI ports. On the opposite side of the 3 inch LCD panel are three buttons the topmost selects the drive mode and there are dedicated buttons for AF area selection and metering mode. Also on this side of the rear panel you’ll find a four-way controller, playback button and display mode button. This also provides some useful additional grip to stop your thumb sliding off the right edge. The top-mounted exposure compensation dial protrudes at the rear and a cylindrical bulge extends downward the camera back on which are mounted the AE-L/AF-L and Q (quick menu) buttons. Moving round to the back of the camera, one of the advantages of the X-Pro1’s generous proportions immediately becomes apparent, there’s a lot of space between the buttons, so less chance of pressing the wrong one, even if you keep your eye to the viewfinder and rely on touch alone. Just to left of it is a Function button which can be assigned to a number of custom functions. The shutter release is threaded so will take an inexpensive cable release and is surrounded by the on/off switch. It’s a shame the same system wasn’t adopted for the exposure compensation dial which, despite being partially recessed, I managed to accidentally move a number of times. When in the A position for Shutter priority shooting a locking mechanism engages so you can’t move the dial back to manual shutter speed selection without first pressing a button in the centre of the dial.

The most prominent feature on the Magnesium alloy top panel is the huge shutter speed dial with speeds ranging from 1/4000 to 1 second plus T (up to 30 seconds) B and A positions. There are two controls on the front panel a three-position focus mode dial on the bottom left and a sprung toggle switch at the top right of the lens for switching the viewfinder between EVF and OVF modes. The dimpled plastic on the lower half provides an excellent grip and this is aided by a moulded grip on the right side.

This feels like a camera that will last a lifetime. The two-tone textured and matt black finish with engraved white labelling adds to the X-Pro1’s iconic retro appearance and is also very practical. This makes it very similar in overall dimensions to the X-Pro1, although the M9 is heavier, at least with the 28mm f2 lens, although to be fair it is corrected for a full-frame sensor. That’s some goal, so in my review, let’s see how it measures-up.įor the record, the Leica M9 measures 139x80x37mm and weighs 585g with battery add the 28mm equivalent f2 lens and the depth and weight increase to 78mm and 855g. In fact it’s clear that the camera Fujifilm would most like the X-Pro1 to be compared with, in terms of size, performance and general photographic ethos (though not price) is Leica’s M9. The X-Pro1 adopts an entirely different ethos, favouring conventional analogue controls and putting lens quality and sensor performance to the fore and eschewing scene modes, 3D, built-in flash and, other frivolities. The Sony NEX-7, one of the most advanced mirrorless ILCs on the market, seeks primarily to attract enthusiast photographers with its abundant gadgetry. Most compact system cameras to date have been targeted at beginner and intermediate users trading up from high-end compacts or looking for a small lightweight DSLR alternative.

If that isn’t enough to tell you who this camera is aimed at, the name puts it beyond doubt and establishes the X-Pro1’s claim as the first small system camera intended for professional and high end enthusiast use. The hybrid optical electronic viewfinder first seen on the X100 has been further developed to accommodate the varying focal lengths of interchangeable lenses and three prime lenses are launched with the camera, with the promise of six more on the way.

The X-Pro1 features a large APS-C sensor with a newly developed architecture which Fujifilm claims can out-perform even full frame sensors. Like the earlier fixed lens X100, it has rangefinder styling and an abundance of analogue controls going even further into the retro aesthetic than the vintage-styled Olympus PEN range. Announced in January 2012, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 is the company’s first interchangeable lens compact system camera.
