The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is Fujifilm’s digital camera which gives a retro feel. The X-Pro1 is a new interchangeable-lens compact camera that appears ready to take on that more expensive rangefinder camera with three X-Mount lenses-an 18mm (27mm equivalent on a 35mmsensor camera) f/2, 35mm (53mm equivalent) f/1.4 lens, and a 60mm (91mm equivalent) f/2.4 macro lens. Lens diaphragm blades are curved for pleasing bokeh.
The camera is built around a newly-developed CMOS sensor that Fujifilm claims is capable of resolution that is superior to other APS-C sensors. A new color filter array eliminates the need for a low-pass filter that is inspired by the random arrangement of finefilm grain. This pattern is supposed to eliminate moire and provide truer colors.
Hybrid Multi-Viewfinder was first introduced in the X100, allows the user to switch between optical and elecronic eye-level viewing. Optical viewfinder magnification changes depending on lens mounted, magnesium-alloy chassis and die-cast aluminum baseplate, shutter speed dial milled from solid metal, leather-like finish, film simulation modes mimic looks of Velvia, Astia and Provia as well as print films.
Fujifilm X-PRO1 Features
- By enhancing aperiodicity (randomness) in the array arrangement, the color filter minimizes generation of both moire and false colors, eliminating the necessity for an optical low-pass filter in the lens and enabling X-Trans CMOS sensor to capture full “unfiltered” lens performance
- The EXR Processor Pro is supported by an integrated co-processor for higher speed and higher precision image processing performance
- The optical low-pass filter prevents the occurrence of moire and false colors but results in a loss of resolution
- A higher degree of randomness with an array of 6 x 6 pixel units. Without using an optical low-pass filter, moire and false colors are eliminated while realizing high resolution. Inspired by the natural random arrangement of the fine grains of silver halide in film
- Designed especially for the X-Pro 1, the FUJINON XF Lens series promises enhanced resolution and light volume in image edge areas as well as reduced chromatic aberration for exceptional image quality
- Taking full advantage of the mirrorless design, the mount boasts a short 17.7mm flange back distance, a wider opening and deeper mounting of the lens, resulting in reduction of back focus distance to the minimum possible while achieving high resolution extending to the image edge areas
- Featuring the freedom to switch between an optical and electronic viewfinder, the Hybrid Viewfinder has evolved to meet the challenges of interchangeable lenses
- Viewfinder magnification automatically changes when an XF series lens is mounted and because there is very little noticeable difference in the angle of view when switching between OVF and EVF, viewing in either mode is smooth and natural
