Fujifilm X-Pro1 details leaked!!!

Yes, even in OVF mode it's using contrast AF so the sensor must be able to 'see.'

It would be kinda cool to have a way to close the shutter during lens swaps.

It definitely would, for peace of mind and simple common sense.

As a note for everyone, we are now accepting $100 Priority Deposits for the X-Pro 1, as well as a waitlist option for those who do not want to put money down yet. You can check out the pre-order page here.

New Imaging Resource interview with Fuji Digital Imaging exec. Kayce Baker, published today:

Well worth reading carefully.

Very interesting.

So, there will be in the future a new body with phase detection AF.

Different lenses have different registration distances. Presumably the first generation M adapters won't be able to take advantage of this feature, but perhaps in the future...

Fuji really listened to X100 user feedback (cf. the discussion of flare).

Fuji has a very interesting and very clear definition of its intended target for the X-Pro system.

" Look, are we Leica? It's not going to cost you $15,000 to walk out the door with one of these things, but at the same time we have a premium model here that's going to give you premium results."

I'm amazed at how locked into the concept of manual RF focusing people are around here! It doesn't matter what new system is being touted by any manufacturer ... it can always be improved by having manual RF focusing!

Buy an M9 or get over it!

😀

Autofocus is the best thing ever! the camera always knows exactly where I want to focus in this complex 3D world from a 2D image feed it's getting.

Ahhhh the wonder of technology. X-Pro2 will have auto shutter with iDM (intelligent decisive moment)
Can't wait!!!
 
Decisive moment recognition? I love it! Imagine the applications; imagine a shutter not opening for someone because the camera decides it's not a Decisive Moment! This is hilarious.
 
The XP1 seems really sweet. Time will tell how the real world responds to it's true performance. One thing I would say for sure... Kayce Baker is doing one hell of a nice job with the PR work. The big peeps at Fuji should be stoked!

One should never joke about these things ... I can now imagine a digital sensor that won't allow the shutter to operate unless composition, exposure and focus are all correct and in line with the DMR algorithms in the camera's software!

M10 maybe? 😀
 
Oh my Lord! Boys, have a gander at this.

It's a mean looking thing that should just about make anybody drool!
 
Just wish that 53mm equiv wasn't so large. I would have settled for f/2 to have a smaller 50. You can't have everything I guess. Well, at least a 42mm equiv pancake is coming. 🙂
 
I just wished more of the AF performance had been shown so far. And about focusing Leica lenses with their first-party m-mount adapter. I had hoped for a true focus peaking function, but so far I haven't seen that mentioned in the frist hands-on reviews. Anyone knows anything about that?
