I had a chance to get some more “hands-on” time with the Fuji X-Pro 1 camera at CES.
If you are a Fuji X100 user (like me), the first thing you will notice once you pick up the X-Pro 1 is the bigger LCD screen (3.0-inch RGBW LCD monitor, approx. 1,230,000 dots).
When I tried the autofocus of the X-Pro 1 the first day, I was not convinced that it’s faster than then the X100. I went back to the Fuji booth the next day and did some side-by-side comparison with the X100 that was on display right next to the X-Pro 1. I am now convinced that the AF in the X-Pro 1 is faster, I was even able to focus in some tricky lighting conditions:
Fuji did not make any improvements to the manual focus in the X-Pro 1 – there is still not focus confirmation or “focus peaking” (like in the Sony NEX or Ricoh GXR systems), which could be problematic if you are planning on using the camera with Leica M-mount lenses.
