Typically that have tried the camera for 10 minutes in a store, and feel compelled to write a 20 minute review about how bad there 10 minute experience was ("and the sales assistant new nothing!")If you are looking for a camera that has super fast AF that can track high speed moving objects - you will be best with a DSLR

does not solve sluggish AF focus issues""US$1700 is just too much for a gimmicky camera like this""too many quirks and bugs""truly bad focusing"Update

But, fact is, the AF of the XP1 is faster and more accurate by far than my abilities to manually focus Leica rangefinders...or manually focus SLR lenses.

It has real limitations like slowish AF (better than at launch due to various firmware updates), limited (by today's standards

Macro is great and consisten but with slightly slower AF but GREAT for portraits+Film simulations are fun to use and the Velvia really makes the colors "pop"+Quality feels great in my opinion+Aperture control on the lens makes me feel "involved" with the picture and allows more

I'm typically deliberate and patient with my photos and not interested in action or sports photography - so the AF has not been a problem

the X-Pro 1, I often feel as if the camera is "fighting me" in a manner reminiscent of compact cameras of yore; autofocus is sometimes fairly quick, and certainly accurate when it locks on the intended target, but mostly the AF pretty pathetic

After firmware update, chatter is mostly gone but still does not solve sluggish AF focus issues

the focus was off and the image was blurred!""The AF is slower than in my P&S""firmware update . .

Besides, Fuji has improved the AF performance with firmware updates over the years and, really, the AF now ain't bad.

The closest thing is the Sunpak-sourced EF-42, which has tilt and swivel (non-locking), a vestigial AF illuminator that does not work with the X-system, no built-in bounce card, no snap-on diffuser dome, and a strangely modal EV compensation switch

The AF is slower than in

On 14 June I placed the order for the "used-like new" body from Amazon Warehouse for $1274, as well as for the Fujinon XF 35mm "used-like new" lens from Amazon Warehouse for $533 and the XF 18mm lens "used-like new" for $521 (also from Amazon Warehouse).
