Fujifilm: X-Pro 1 Cam Will Remain Flagship, But Other Mirror-less Cams Are on the Way

By Fausto Mendez


When I visited Fujifilm's booth at CES in Las Vegas at the end of Tues., I asked some of the Fujifilm reps about the future of the company's mirror-less, interchangeable-lense family of cameras. Now, the company only has one mirror-less camera on its team, and it's called the X-Pro 1. It debuted at CES during Press Day on Monday before the show opened on Tuesday.

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 scheduled to launch in late February February, according to the reps at CES. We were rather impressed with the units we were permitted to handle, and it's bigger than it appears. Still, it's seriously smaller compared to your characteristic DSLR, and it's actually worth your consideration if you're in the market for a professional's mirror-less shooter.

This bad boy will set you back almost $2,000.00 depending on conversion rates, and that's not bad considering a DSLR can cost 10x that. It's also significantly smaller than your typical DSLR, though it's a bit larger 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.
