Fujifilm X-Pro1 POV Street Photography in 2021

The Fujifilm X-Pro 1 is going to be 9 years old this year, but it has gained a cult following recently with claims that its older sensor creates a more "film" like image. Does it live up to the hype? Tldr: yes, it does. The standard film profile is great, and the images are beautiful. But it does have some quirks that have since been ironed out in newer cameras. At $300 I do think it is a great buy, and one that I may be considering in the future as more of a collector or nostalgic camera. Let me know what your thoughts are on this camera, especially if you own one!

    Nicely done on the AT&T silhouette: Vibrant colors, good sense of scale & sharp. Prices on most of the Fuji 📷 are 🚀. The X-Pro1 is $400+ now &, for me, it’s worth the asking price. When paired with a vintage lens, the quality of the images is even more film-like.

    My friend there is nothing wrong with the X-Pro1 OVF. Your framing was way off probably just because you are used to x100, x-pro1 OVF displays framing reference lines which change depending on focal range of the lenses you are using. You can't use the whole OVF as your framing reference point, it was simply a user error and not the cameras fault.

    Yes, a great camera. That sensor is so nice. Try the xf 23mm f/2 instead. Then it suddenly is not slow. AF is fine. And the bit clinical look on that lens, is nicely gone with that wonderful sensor. Like that combo more than the x-pro2/23mm f/2. For that price, you can't get a better camera! It has soul...

    Hi there, I just bought the X-Pro1 last december. Very happy with it. Had the x100t for the last 5 years. What is the problem with the OVF? You need the activate the ‚corrected AF frame‘ mode. That will give you the corrected focuss point and framing. Not ideal I must admit but workable. Thanks for the video 👍🏻 Cheers from Switzerland

    I still have a Fuji XE2 and I really want to buy a X-pro1 soon, because I need the extra film simulations and better EVF, above all. It looks amazing and I really like the first generation of X trans. I was going to buy the Nikon Z50 first, but I'll get it later, finally, because I realized that I really love The "painting" or "oil painting" effect of Fuji, For now it is ideal for what I want to do. I will have to grab the Nikon for fast focus and hot colors, that's another universe. Fuji has it's own universe too. These are great cameras for artistic photography. May be all cameras are today, but I'm used to Fuji and it's unique resulsts. Also, the experience shooting, of course. I can do anything with the physical dials, it is possible when you really know your Fuji body. Thanks for the nice video. There is a very nice feature I discoverd with fuji and XE2: you can do manual focus and have auto focus in the same time, I mean auto focus in manual focus... if you use Fuji lens, of course. May be other brands do that, I don't know, but it can be done in a fraction of second with the available dials, while using the evf. These are bodys that are made to the hands and the eye. Really great, flexible and simple. It's a physical shooting. I guess the Xpro1 is all about that, as the XE2, but just better. And boy, soooo beautiful ! If you shoot with 18, 27 or 35mm lenses most of the time, or even 50, grab one ! Fuji has very very good small lenses that will look great with the Xpro1. Excellent for stills, and litle.
