Conclusion: We like it

Fuji's high-end, retro-styled X-Pro1 isn't for everyone. For the same price, or less, you can get a top-rated — and more versatile — DSLR or mirrorless compact, such as the Sony α NEX-7. However, if you're prepared to pay Fuji's steep price, and you're looking for a camera with full manual controls, great, "film-like" image quality, and, yes, the styling of a classic rangefinder, the X-Pro1 is at least worthy of consideration. Just be prepared for some trade-offs, including slow autofocus performance, and a limited number of available lenses.

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a work of art, and like any masterpiece there'll be some who hate it and others who get into heated bidding wars. If you're sensible and price-conscious, then by rights you should be waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the Olympus OM-D E-M5.

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a nice compromise if you can't afford a Leica but want to approximate the experience and get some stunning photo quality to boot.

It's not just a retro look that distinguishes the Fujifilm X-Pro1, but its cutting-edge hybrid optical viewfinder and emphasis on quality prime lenses. Excellent image quality with very clean detail is the extra surprise inside.

If you want great IQ, RF style and fast primes and have $2000-$3000 to spend, the X-Pro 1 may be the camera for you. With the 35 1.4 it is 1/4 the cost of a Leica M9 body with better high ISO capabilities. You be the judge.

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 feels like the natural interchangeable lens evolution of the incredibly popular X-100 camera, offering similarly refined, intuitive handling, fantastic image quality, premium build quality and three high-quality lenses on launch.
