X-pro 1 for 380 dollars (340 euro) used. Go for it?

[petergabriel]

Used from nov 2015. Taken 500 shots. That is cheap right? I was actually going to wait for the x-t2, but that means I would not have a camera for my summer vacation. Just sold my x100t.

 

Should I go for it?

Seems you are looking for a different camera, X-T2. The X-Pro1 is a great camera, I would go for it but I would prefer the style of the X-Pro2 over the X-T2. 

But you're coming from an X 100t, so  . . . .  Here is my advice again " Try before you buy". The X-pro1 and the new X-T2 might be very different. There is no X-t2 yet so you might try a X-t1 in the shop.

On this forum there is lots of info about the X-Pro1, you will see that there are different opinions, if you haven't done it already you might do so you could check.

I know the x-pro 1 (and 2) and x-t1 from my local camera store. But I just thought the price being so cheap I could use it until the x-t2 comes out. And then keep it as a second camera body or sell it again.

Buy it. I did. Was really waiting and wanting X-Pro2. But it cured my gas. So i just put my money on lenses instead.

So, I bought it. Will get it tuesday with the 18-55. Can't wait.

The only negative of the Pro 1is the processing power it has.  Even on the fastest cards it takes a few seconds to write, but you don't even notice unless you're a chimper, or a spray and pray shooter that fills up the cache at every turn.

 

I shoot the Pro 1 way more than the T1 anymore.

So, got the camera today with the 18-55, and so far I am impressed. The camera seems to be more responsive than the x100s and on par with the x100t.

 

The auto focus, even at dusk, I am very satisfied with its performance. Especially with the 18-55 which is dead quiet and very fast.

 

I don't know what people are comparing the x-pro 1 to when they bash its AF. I know it is not the worlds fastest, but it more than gets job done.

 

The image quality, well, it is Fujifilm. Gotta love it! Oh, and opposite my x100s and t's waxy skin when using high iso is no where to be found on the x-pro 1. I am starting to understand why some people call the x-trans 1 sensor the best :-)

There was an underexpose raw workaround to get camera JPGs from Xtrans 2 cameras. Luckily the Xtrans3 has no waxy issues, even above 6400.

[petergabriel]

Yeah, read about that. Cool enough, I just hate having to do these workarounds.
