Thread: Is everyone loving their X-Pro1...cos I'm not!

I think I will try and shoot in RAW and see if I like the files even more. I may need to get LR4 or even try Capture one Pro 7 which looks like it does a better job than LR. I'll keep plugging away at it, you never know I may like it more as time goes on.

LOL!! I think Andy already said he didn't like the feel of the XE1. :)

The 1st time i picked up the X-E1 I though.. WOW! What a cheap bit of plastic! It feels better with a 35mm lens and feels kinda OK now i have handled it a few times but initially it was very disappointing! The X-Pro does feel much nicer than the X-E1. The funny thing is that everyone in our shop (staff) said the same as me! Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh on the XP.

The X100 is definitely the most "tank" like feeling out of the X10, X100, XP1 and XE1. Maybe the XP2 will have top and bottom brass plates! :)

I doubt it but the new Pentax MX-1 has!

Yes, I actually like the "look" of the MX1. It's more appealing than its inspiration, the Oly XZ2. I do wish manufacturers would stop scribbling the names of the cameras on the front of the body.

I likely would not get an XE1 because I prefer an OVF. But I am a bit surprised at the 'cheap plastic' description. It may indeed be light, but it feels to me very well constructed; very solid in every regard. Of course all this is subjective, but that description seems a bit out of touch. Perhaps in a camera shop, where all types are held each day, the relative feel is more apparent.

+1 And if you add the grip, to me at least it's one of the most comfortable cameras to hold, size, weight, and form.

I really hope they don't do this until next year. I don't want to end up on an organ donor list.......

Perhaps i was being a bit harsh but it is pretty light and does feel a bit like a toy without a lens on. Well built though just like all the fuji X range.
