Brandon Remler (Click here) is one of the first to show us some image samples taken with the new Fuji X-E1. He also tested the Leica 90mm Summicron on the new X-E1 (Click here to see these shots): “The camera works great with focus peeking at both 3x and 10x magnification. The EVF is bright and sharp!”
Two more tests: X PRO 1 test at Focus Numerique (Translation here). Fujifilm Fujinon XF 35 mm f/1.4 R lens test at Lenstip.
Here is a new video showing the features of the new 2.0 firmware for the X PRO 1. And check out John Smith’s blog (Click here) to see his latest Burlesque pictures taken with the X PRO 1. These are great shots!
X PRO 1 firmware updated explained at Henrys. And cool photos by John Smith.
Our reader Hexxx found that Thai video comparison between the FW 1.1 and FW 2.0 on the X-Pro1. It compares AF and also MF focusing. There is a noticeable improvement!
It’s not a secret that Ken Rockwell (Click here) likes Fuji cameras. He writes about the X-E1: “I see no more reason for the old Fuji X-Pro1, unless you’re really addicted to the optical finder. Everything else about the X-E1 appears to be superior, with a built-in flash and less size and weight, for less money. I returned my X-Pro1 because its finder had a defective design that rendered it out-of-focus unless you bought an external diopter for it. I’m hoping this is fixed in the X-E1. ”
The question now is, if the X-E1 is better than the X-Pro1 than are we going to see a new X PRo 2 anytime soon?
