Excellent image quality at all ISO settings - impressive resolution and low noise ; Wide choice of film simulation modes offer superb out-of-camera colour rendition ; Intuitive and straightforward traditional control layout (aperture ring, shutter...

Gorgeous design ; Takes excellent photos and videos ; Efficient control system

Cost ; No continous AF in burst mode ; No diopter adjustment for VF

The X-Pro1 is a camera that's hard not to like - the retro rangefinder look is cool, controls are nicely placed and materials, build quality and overall fit and finish are quite nice. Auto focus and shutter lag performance are good, as is image quality...
