Fuji Fuji X-Pro 1 hands on and samples

Here's a full-size JPEG I created from the RAW file using the enclosed Raw File Converter EX beta version:

Found another 18mm shot and put it through the Raw File Converter EX beta.

The "real" Silkypix was updated on Feb 16 and works like a charm. Since version "DSPro5" isn't available for the Mac, yet, I used SILKYPIX DSPro 4.1.53.0.
Here's the 18 mm shot with maximum dynamic range again:

Thanks for all the photos Flysurfer. I noticed that on the lens tip website, the 18mm photos of the two gentlemen seemed rather soft and/or out of focus. Did you encounter any issues with the 18mm? Thanks again!

Offtopic ... I just booted up my new iMac 27. Looking at this last photo of the lady putting on the lipstick on the 27" screen. Looking at the photo at 100%, and the image quality looks AMAZING on this screen.

The 18 mm is pre-prod. with some known issues that will be fixed, but so far I am quite happy with mine.

Interesting. Thanks for posting and keeping us up to date.

Here's a making-of pic using the 18 mm, underexposed by 3 EV to preserve the scenery outside the window, hence ISO800/DR400 plus a manual -1 EV correction.

Once OOC and one with Silkypix, the latter including some perspective correction.

I can't make up my mind about this series of pics. They all seem rather sterile to me somehow so I remain on the fence!

 

[christilou]

Yes, the Yodobashi ones seem much more promising. Less electric colour and one shows very subtle tones. I'm going to keep on looking and waiting for more pics to appear online. We have bright sunshine today but our colours are distinctly Northern!

I think I've seen pretty much all I need to see re: image output. It's obviously a camera with a very good APS-C sensor, excellent low light capability, two very good lenses (35 & 60), one seemingly a still a bit iffy (18) from the samples I've seen but I can't imagine the final production version should have any glaring faults. Let's face it; it would take a screw-up of monumental proportions for a company to deliver a camera with these specs that isn't capable of taking amazing photos in the right hands. From here on in it's the operational characteristics of the camera that I'm interested in learning more about.

I'm keeping myself on a short rein!

I'm pretty much in the same place. I think the 18 will turn out alright too.

Review site stuff will be interesting, but I'll really be looking at field reports from, for example, Luminous Landscapes.

Given that I've canceled my preorder, someone moved up in line in the Amazon preorder list. I'm sure I'll regret it!




Already have!

Hey
What moved you to cancel?

I replaced my dying PC desktop with an iMac this week. With other big time expenses coming up this year, financial responsibility started to overcome me. I hate it!!!

Ah, well - that's a reasonable excuse

 

[christilou]

Oh, no. Looks like I will just have to have one

 

[christilou]

Yuk, unforgivable! Boden barged into my lens sideways but fortunately no damage was done to either

Cnet has its review up also, amazing high iso comparison to nex-5n:

High iso IQ looks very good. Didn't expect such a difference with the NEX-5N.
