If we are
surfing the Internet to find information about digital cameras in Yahoo or Google
search engine, then we will be typing Canon or Nikon, maybe Sony, but there are
other cameras such as Pentax, Panasonic, Olympus, Sigma and Kodak. This time I
would like to invite you to look at other alternatives, namely Fuji camera
manufactured by Fuji Film. We know the Fuji as a filmmaker like Kodak, Fuji,
but also a camera and lens maker expert. Fujifilm performed with retro camera,
the Fuji X-Pro1.

Fuji
X-Pro1 is claimed to have the sharpness and image quality is fantastic. The
camera also comes with another sensor design of most cameras. DP Review gave
the camera a rating of 79%. This camera has a fantastic performa’s with ISO up
to ISO 6400. The main drawback of this camera is the camera's autofocus system
as it is quite slow (for those who are familiar with the DSLR class), and
perhaps the availability of lenses and parts. But the X-Pro1 is equipped with
an optical viewfinder and exposure controls that give feel like a Leica
rangefinder.
Fuji
X-Pro1 has presented the main features for professional photographers, such as:
• Three

Fujifilm
X-Pro1 hybrid viewfinder that has the ability to retro-modern design and at CES
2012 received the "CNET Best of CES 2012" in the category of camera.
According
to CNet editors, Fujifilm surpass its reputation as a quality camera company
with its first mirrorless models, the X-Pro1. By combining several innovations,
hybrid viewfinder which is embedded in a sleek retro design.

Fujifilm
X-Pro 1 claimed to be able to compete with professional full frame camera. This
claim is quite reasonable because the X-Pro1 has a CMOS sensor APS-C X-Trans 16
megapixel, wherein the sensor is about the same or equivalent amount DLSR
cameras, and has photographed the results and incredible sharpness. Fujifilm
X-Pro A1 has 3 types of hybrid-style lenses Fujinon lens, which is where the
three are not fixed zoom lens, which XF18mmF2 R (27mm equivalent f/2.0),
XF35mmF1.4 R (53mm equivalent f/1.4), and XF60mmF2. 4 R Macro (90mm equivalent
f/2.4).
The use of
APS-C sized sensor on Fuji X-Pro1 somewhat surprising and instantly became a
competitor Sony NEX and Samsung NX. On paper Fuji X-Pro1 can outperform
incumbents such as Micro Four Thirds camp a smaller sensor. The second interesting
factor is the design and quality of the X-Pro1 body very classic yet modern.
Another interesting factor is the existence of a hybrid viewfinder that can
switch from the optical viewfinder to the electronic viewfinder simply by
sliding the lever on the front. Own optical viewfinder has 90% coverage, and if
you want to get 100% coverage then move it to the sharp electronic viewfinder
with 1.44 million dots.
The camera
is shown to produce sharp images, natural, and can minimize the results of moiré
effect that often happens when we are aiming pattern, and is also capable of
producing quality images even in low-light room. Because in addition to the
advanced camera features, this camera is also uses EXR processor as the power
system performance.
