Fujifilm X-Pro1 Mirror-Less Camera Worldwide Launch Begins February




There had been only one mirror-less camera, the X-Pro 1, that awed the crowds at CES this year, so we are happy to see it booked for release so shortly. Fujifilm announced the interchangeable-lens camera for the Japanese market at the end of Jan, and the company failed to hold back release details this time. The camera should launch on the 18th of February, so it should find its way to other markets soon enough.

The launch will start in Japan, and we imagine it might find its way to other Asian markets before it hits Europe and America. That's just speculating. But this Fujifilm mirror-less camera is designed and built entirely in Asia, so it's less complicated for the company to get it to those markets first. There is no reason why they'd hold out on their own folks, but anything can occur. Don't quote us on that.

We had the opportunity to have a hands-on experience with a retail-ready X-Pro 1 at CES in January, and we were shocked at how gigantic it is. It's not noticeably heavy, and it's noticeably smaller compared to your everyday DSLR. But it's bigger than it appears to be in photos. Of course, it feels like a solid, fine quality piece of machinery, precisely what you'd expect from a Fujifilm product that is built for execs. We won't talk about the picture quality since we did not test it extensively, but it is supposed to be stellar.

We also adored the classic design style. That looks to be a popular trend with camera makers this year, and we actually like where Fujifilm is taking it. It isn't so retro that it actually appears old; it retains just about enough modern influence.

Now, we haven't forgotten that it's our main job to find you access to the new electronics that you crave. Whether its an imported Japanese model or the real-deal US variant, we'll find the stores that sell it first, so that you can be the first to have it. Stay tuned as we find out more about the new Fujifilm Mirror-Less Camera.
