When I went to Fujifilm's booth at CES in Vegas at the end of Tuesday, I asked some of the Fujifilm representatives about the plans of the corporation's mirror-less line of cameras. Currently, Fujifilm only has one mirror-less camera on its team, and it's called the X-Pro 1. It debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show during Press Day on Monday before the floor opened on Tues..
Without confirming that his company would boost its mirror-less options, one Fujifilm rep expounded the X-Pro 1 would remain the company's flagship mirror-less if the company were to grow its mirror-less line. In such an eventuality, the company would attempt to compete at the prosumer and consumer price levels with these new cameras, letting the X-Pro 1 pull in the pro set.
Consequently, it could be some years before Fujifilm improves on its top-of-the-line mirror-less camera, so don't expect a brother to the long-anticipated X-Pro 1 any time soon. We think it's likely that the the pro-level camera will lead the way for at least two years, but that's just speculation; don't quote us on that.
Fujifilm's X-Pro 1 is booked to launch in Feb Feb, according to the representatives at CES. We were rather impressed by the units we were allowed to handle, and it's larger than it looks. Still, it's noticeably smaller in comparison to your classic DSLR, and it's certainly worth your inspection if you are in the market for a professional's mirror-less shooter.
This bad boy will set you back about $1,700.00 depending on global conversion rates, and that's not bad considering a DSLR can cost 10x that. It's also smaller than your typical DSLR, though it's bigger in person than it is in pictures. Actually, this is probably one of the few cases where the product itself looks much better in person than it does in official, touched-up photos.
