Huge! :)
Soundimagesplus (Click here) made a new Fuji X POR 1 versus Olympus E-M5 and Sony NEX-5n High ISO comaprison: “Firstly, using the same Nikon lens on the Fuji and Sony the Sony has purple fringing and the Fuji doesn’t. Secondly, while the Fuji is clearly the best at ISO 3200, just look at how close the Olympus OM-D gets to this much praised Sony sensor at that setting.”
Also the well known Photographyblog (Click here) Highly Recommends the Fuji: “Thankfully the X-Pro1’s innovative image sensor and lack of low-pass filter lives up to all the hype and more, delivering truly excellent image quality. Noise is noticeable only by its almost complete absence throughout the ISO range of 100-25,600, while the Dynamic Range function helps to boost contrast and detail.”

As you may know Adobe just launched the Lightroom 4.1 Release Candidates which supports many new cameras but not the X PRO 1. Don’t worry! They just added a note too:
“The Lightroom and Camera Raw team is well aware of the new X-Pro1 camera from FUJIFILM. We are currently developing raw support for the X-Pro1 and look forward to providing it as soon as support is complete. Thanks for your patience on this topic.”
Let’s hope it doens’t take that long!

Fuji seems to have found the right idea to make the hybrid viewfinder compatible with ANY lenses! Egami (Click here) spotted a new patent describing the solution. The Electronic viewfinder will detect the focal length of the attached third party lens and optimize the optical viewfinder to it. More or less this is the idea behind it :)
