Fujifilm X-Pro1 details leaked!!!

I don't know if it's been remarked, but Fuji will be selling their own M adapter for this camera. Which is good news. The next iteration of the M9, if there is to be one, would have to have some kind of hybrid viewfinder/contrast or phase focusing help to compete now, I would think. Especially at the price they want/need to sell it.

Or... and maybe someone here can answer this... is it possible to have a full-frame sensor without the mechanical shutter? What would be the pros and cons? Cheaper to build, at least...

This assumption comes from my experience with the CV 1.4/35 that's pretty much in this price range. As far as I know it's the only 1.4/35 at that price. And it has quite a lot of distortion.

Two different manufacturers; one manual focus, one AF; two different formats...a lot easier/cheaper to build for APS-C.

What do you need a focusing help for when you have a rangefinder? Just curious.

Not sure I got what you meant, phase or contrast focusing what? M lens are all manual. Are you thinking of focus peaking? Making the new M lines AF is gonna be a R&D nightmare if they have not started already.

Of course it's possible to have a FF sensor without a mechanical shutter, the two thing has nothing to do with each other. Just a matter of is it justifiable or not.
 
The lenses are on pre-order at amazon with out the camera. Fuji is brilliant. Ordered the 18 and the 35 just in case the turns out to be awesome... if not then return or sell them to someone who really likes the camera. I believe it will do well and the lenses will be as difficult to get as a Leica lenses are now.

Naturally, it's not listed for pre-order on any of the European sites for Amazon.

I'll let the early-adopter feeding frenzy take its course and hopefully by the summer availability in Asia will be steady when I go back there.
 
seems interesting new system. never warmed to X100, because of fixed lens, but this is fixing that. sensor isn't full frame, but so are lenses smaller as well. we are lucky to have so many options.

What a handsome design IMO...
 
There is a link at Photo Rumors, but it is listing the item as sold out.

I have to admit that this thing is looking pretty good.
 
I'd love to know if this camera will still be using the leaf shutter in the lenses a'la x100, or if it will have a focal plane shutter in the body - i suspect the latter.

The x100 will remain in my arsenal if that's the case - it's too valuable for 1/2000th flash sync!
