That X-Pro 1 video looked better than anything I've shot in the last 3 years.
Going back to fuji?
Guess you're going back to Fuji? X-Pro 1 this time?
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This was a sign for you to return to Fujifilm. And you can get rid of the Sony a7siii. Just send it to me. 🤪
Na man, that squirrel footage in "Sony A7S III vs Panasonic G9: Closer Than You Think?" was next level.
The X Pro 1 stopped me drinking! I wanted to go dry so promised myself that if I didn't drink for a year I'd buy one and I did. Been on the wagon for nearly a decade now but sold my collection of X mount kit two years ago. I went back to Fuji and bought an X100V last year though! I remember many shots with the X Pro 1 that were focussed on the background! Nice camera but could be frustrating.
Wow that makes me realize how expensive alcohol is.
@@Alexrocks1253 I didn't justify it only on the saved money but the saved cash did contribute a big chunk of the cost of the camera.
@@RogerHyam got it! Health is very important too and the money saved is an added bonus. 👍🏻
Way to go! 6 years for me. Oh the money I've saved... And spent on camera gear instead!
that GH5 image with the anamorphics tho 😍
Seriously, it looks so damn good.
The flare😍😍😍😍😍
I really enjoy these "look back" type videos. It would be really cool to see Chris and Jordan give the same treatment to some of the other icons of the film and early digital eras.
Same! I might have let out a little squeal when I saw it pop up😏
I was thinking back recently about how bad the early digital cameras looked on paper (Minolta Dimage and some flat 110 shaped 4mp Nikon come to mind). I held off. They would surely be a lesson in how far digital has come?
In absolute terms, image quality had already reached a very usable level ten years ago. Before that, low light performance and dynamic range were the biggest issues, only Canon carried that flag of hurt a little bit longer than the rest. Today it is all about perfect 3D bird poo tracking and 17 inch touch capable back-LCDs. Not having that makes the camera feel dated. The age of a camera is way more noticeable in the process of taking the shot than in the resulting picture now, I believe.
Absolutely. And the usability is a very important factor tho. I used an A7Rii with a Tamron 28-75. Switched it "down" to a G9 with full lens setup. And while my image quality may "suffer". The results of my imagery have just improved overall bc I enjoy taking pics more
OK so is that why film photography is so popular right now?. I can tell you that I started shooting film and I used to tell myself that I would never. It’s much more enjoyable 📸🔥
In many ways that's probably why the X-Pro 1 has aged better than other mirrorless cameras of the time - it has all the same drawbacks, but they designed it with the shooting experience in mind, and that vintage shooting experience is naturally one that discourages using those modern convenience features anyway.
Yep it seems to only be video and AF that's relay moved on a lot in the last few years.
Agreed
I've got to say thank goodness for Fujifilm sticking to their guns with APS-C and a more classic user interface - I learnt my photography on a film SLR (Pentax MX) and even though my age suggests I would prefer a PASM setup, the old way still makes so much more sense to me and Fuji give me that. I almost fell out of love with taking pictures when I switched to big, clunky, heavy DSLRs and I'd often just leave my camera behind but then I bought the X70 and I fell back in love. Here I am now 8 years later with an X-E4 and although other brands are pushing the tech forward in impressive ways, still none of them have made me want to pick up and use their cameras because even their mirrorless offerings still look and act like big, heavy, clunky PASM DSLRs. Not to mention the insanely chungus lineup of mirrorless lenses. Who needs the gym when you have to carry those bad boys around.
Yes, so true. I have an 8 year old X-E2 with the new 27mm pancake lens. So much fun and it's pocketable!
I even learned photography on PASM camera... but once I made myself familiar with the direct controls for the exposure-triangle of the X-T1 I really never turned back. It feels so much more intuitive to just change, what you want to change and put to Auto, what you don't want to cope with right now, than the PASM which feels like changing the whole "mode" and controls of the camera.
Lovely… I chopped in my Canon 5D and all the lenses for the xpro 1. I have to admit I found the adjustment hard but with time and ironically a number of pentax k primes with an adapter, it has stretched my imagination. I still have the xpro 1, 18 and 60mm but have recently invested in the 23 f2, 50 f2 and 16-80… and an xt-4. I don’t think I will ever sell it. I still have my dads pentax mx and even on old zenith so there you go.
Also of note Adobe with the enhance mode does a nice job on both my raf files and the Canon raw from the 5D
When now there are brands selling crazy 9.000$ gear, it is amazing the quality of that 10-years old camera.
Speaking of Kaizen, I’m hoping Fuji listens and adds nostalgic neg to their xt4/x100v and other modern cameras outside of the medium format system. They seemed to have abandoned that philosophy.
There’s literally 0 reason film simulations should be locked to certain cameras, they used to be great about adding features with firmware updates but now it seems like firmware is almost exclusively for bug fixes. Fuji owners like me used to criticize Sony for releasing cameras with arbitrarily software removed features to differentiate their cameras and make people buy the more expensive models but now Fuji is doing exactly that with their film sims.
No chance. Fuji actually rarely do it. They have only done it before with Classic Chrome, I think. Them never giving the XT3 Classic Neg is a good example that they just don't do it.
NN is my default import profile in Lightroom, available to all Fuji X cameras by deleting the camera name in a NN GFX camera file where it says restricted.
@@blood_n_guts_murphy but it can be done just in mac ecosystem i heard, cannot do it in windows. And now my mac is broke 😂
Old but gold. I recently bought a X100T with the older X-Trans II sensor. The character and beauty of the photos SOOC blew my mind. Since then my Canon gear is collecting dust 😏
The X-Pro1 and X-T1 still command loyal followings, the old 16mp xtrans sensor is still the favorite for the grain and colors. Great video, guys
I am one of the X-T1 Cult follower except for its notorious rubber skin peeling off/stretching off this has been my favorite camera of all time. I used to shoot a lot with the X-T30 but I found the xtrans iv 26mp sensors to be quite muted and dull in comparison to the first two sensors.
X-T1 had the second gen xtrans
Never ever getting rid of my xpro1.
best size for aps c is 16 mp. 26 mp is too loud for aps c. That's why the xt1 and xpro1 image quality is the best.
@@definitelynotagoodperson5456 send it back for repair. Even out of warranty they’ll usually fix it for free. I did the same for mine and they fixed it. It is just a sticker in the end. Find anything on the camera, mention it and they’ll take care of it. I sent my entire camera in as i came with it into the store (battery grip, 16mm 1.4 and the xt-1 and it was fixed for free) but forgot to mention a loose button……
I love my xt-1 and would have nothing else. Perhaps a bit of stabilisation but that is not necessary for me.
I use my X-Pro1 and X100T almost daily, love them both. After having lost interest in photography a bit about 10 years ago, it was the X-Pro1 which rekindled the flame. I especially like the 35/1.4 and 18/2 lenses.
THANKS, FUJIFILM!!!
I kid you not I dug out my XPro 1 just to have a nostalgic look back at it today and then this comes up. 🙂
I picked up an X-Pro 1 last year and have really enjoyed the experience! Yes, it is slower than any modern Fuji, but it creates such beautiful images. Slowing down is not always a bad thing when being creative.
Slowing down, finding that particular composition and making every shot count. That's what I missed out on while starting out with a Fuji XT3 which is why I'm exploring manual focus and film photography. It really is nice to to switch to a slower pace when shooting sometimes :)
That's very true! Slowing down is not a BAD thing depending how that person think. Nowadays most people RUSH, Impatient and always want the lastest NEW camera coming. I do opposite most of them.
It's still my main digital camera for street photography. I really like the way the colors and B&W looks close to film.
I was not ready for how beautifully shot this video would be. Great job guys.
That anamorphic lens looks wonderful
I recently picked up an X-E1 just to see what the original X Trans sensor would produce, especially with some of the earlier lenses, e.g. 35mm f1.4, 18mm f2. Haven't been disappointed. Great form factor for street work and good copies can be acquired for about $200.
That anamorphic footage is absolute fire 🔥🔥
Enjoyed the look back at the X-Pro1. While no camera company makes the perfect camera, Fuji has worked hard to improve the joy of using their cameras over the years while staying relevant with current technology available. And it's nice to see a company that is committed to APS-C for those of us who don't want to carry a full frame kit.
Man, this episode looked freaking great. Awesome job Jordan.
I'm really glad to see that you guys are devoting so many videos to the Fujifilm X system despite it being such a small player compared to Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Panasonic. It occupies such a unique niche and I find that Fujifilm x system users seem to have more passion for it than users of other camera systems.
Jordan's video segment actually looked great to me. And the photos look excellent. The GH5 footage during the nighttime portion of the video looked so good! Great stuff guys.
Still rocking two X-Pro1 cameras, it's all I now use. To be honest, the image quality is superb, camera form factor and usability fit me perfectly, and the RAW files are a dream to edit. I use one body with Fujinon lenses and the OVF, which I love using. The second body I use manual focus lenses like the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.4 or 7Artisans 50mm f1.1 - now that is a winning combination! The original sensor seems to shine with vintage, manual glass. It slows me down and I enjoy the process much more. Great look back!
Bought a used X-Pro1 5 years ago, still using it now as a back up camera. The images are great, especially shooting on B&W. As long as my X-Pro 1 is still working, will not think about upgrading to the other X-Pros. Its very great camera! I am so glad you have made this video. Thumbs up!
Still rocking the original X100!
I spent a year with the X-Pro 1 as my main camera - absolutely loved it. Learned so much and my photographic skills grew so much. The colours are just magical out of the old sensor. When I sold it, I was quick to pick up an old X-E1. Same experience, minus the OVF in a smaller package. Love it.
The JPG’s from that era of Fuji-X are what attracted me to the system (aside from body style).
I pulled some up just now and I still have no complaints.
The problem with the Xpro1 is that it poduces such wonderful photos that it makes you question why you need any other cameras in the Fuji lineup. I bought years later an Xpro2 to replace my Xpro1, but for almost all intended purposes, the Xpro1 is just as good (I use most of my cameras for street photography). I think the XT10/20/30 are better companions to the Xpro1, because they offer a complete different form factor, great IQ, and such a small size. My only gripe with Xpro1 is that Fuji never included red or blue peaking just white that's very very difficult to use for manual focusing.
I picked up an x-pro 1 about a year ago and I agree with you about the peaking. It's very hard without the red or blue coloring.
I agree with the peaking. I am glad it's there, but it is inferior to any other camera I with peaking I have used. The only things that the X-Pro 1 lack for me are weather resistance and an option for an electronic shutter. I got the X-Pro 1 last year and shot over 1000k frames with it mostly during the summer. I also shoot streets with it. :)
AF is not great in low light and even in daylight it's not always a hit (I think it's contrast only?), and the CPU is a bit slow. For all practical purposes it has no buffer to speak of. And video is straight garbage.
Other than that it's a great camera, if you're not in a hurry you can definitely enjoy using it. There's something I like about the image quality, although if you take a photo of a green field it looks awful (grass smears in a weird way).
My return to photography was brief a stint last year with my Pixel 3a mobile phone and then - due to being impoverished - a second hand Xpro1 with the 23mm 1.4. Sadly the camera is begining to fail, but I love the images that come out if it, so maybe shall buy another until I can afford something like the 3. That said, I'll be hiring a 3 first. My photography and style has been formed by this little workhorse, and I've now become far more picky about the tech in hand. New imho doesn't necessarily mean better. Great video.
Agree,
I have XE 2 & got X pro 1 to try it's sensor. Focus peeking is a lot better in XE 2 .
I love reviewing old cameras. Thanks.
Best digital camera of all time
I still have my X-Pro 1 and still works fine. That being said I did buy an X-Pro 3 about a year ago and rarely use the X-Pro 1. What brought me to the Fuji line originally was the film simulations. Modern cameras prior to the X-Pro 1 always made be long for the film camera era. Very pleased with Fuji.
I bought a X-pro 1 3 years ago, and still use it every week! i enjoy it a lot!!!
Still shooting with my x-pro1 and loving it, especially with manual lenses. Great colours in the video, you really captured the cameras jpg feel
Still using my X-pro1. The best tool to get lost in nostalgia. Thanks for that amazing video, love it!
The X-Pro1 is my favorite camera I have ever owner and still use to this day. I think it saved my photography as I got so bored of using modern cameras. The IQ is incredible for such a compact camera, and it's so much fun to shoot with. I even ended up selling my X-Pro3 as I didn't need the fancy upgrades.
I’m a serious amateur photographer and the first camera I bought was Nikon d5000. A few years later I upgraded to the d500 which I still have and love. The problem is, it’s too heavy!! Then I kind of stopped taking pictures of my kids sports and then started hearing about mirrorless cameras and decided to give it a go. I bought a xt-20’to see if I liked and i did. Being able to the the exposure on screen is wonderful!! I was hooked to Fuji, hit a xt-3 as there were a few things I didn’t like about xt-20. I’m still not prepared to upgrade to xt-4 as I think mine still does its job but I couldn’t resist and just got the xs-10 (ibis, bigger grip and the flip screen for a reasonable price). I absolutely love Fuji cameras!
Nice video, I got the notification for this video while I was looking to buy an X-Pro 1 🙂.
I shot Canon and Nikon DSLRs for years. When I picked up the X-E3 everything was clear for me. I have bought the X-T3 thanks to your recommendation and never looked back - thanks for making great videos!
I still have it! I could not give it away when I upgraded. The X-Pro1 stays with me.
It’s the Fuji Xpro cameras that made photography such a pleasure
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I used my old X-Pro1 so much that I wore it out and I would still be using it today had it not broke on me after years of use.
I bought a X-Pro3, the king is dead, long live the king!
Hahaha! What? X-Pro3 king is Dead?
I still have my X - Pro1 that I bought when it was launched 10 years ago. I don't think I will ever sell it. It has given me so much joy when using it and captured so many wonderful memories over the years.
Hi from the UK. I have had an X-Pro1 from new. Love this camera and would not change to a later model. Thanks for the review.
I bought the X-Pro 1 last year ! It is so much fun to use. I love it and I will shoot with it until it breaks. I have used it with 23/35 F2 primes, Zeiss Touit 32mm F1.8, 18-55mm kit lens. First 27mm F2.8 lens. The ISO performance is solid up to 3200 easily. I've also printed 50x70cm picture from this camera. X-Pro 1 files are great and especially in black and white.
A local photographer buddy sold me his X-Pro1 and two lenses for an absolute steal, and I've loved it ever since. It was my gateway into the Fuji X-mount system and I went on to buy two X-H1 cameras, which I also love. The X-Pro1's only weakness for me is the relatively slow autofocus, but it still makes for a great leisurely street camera.
The X-Pro1 and 60mm was my my first venture into the Fuji X system. Ten years later I am still with them, using the X-T4 and X-T2
i am still a fan of the x-t1! the 60mm images looked better than most folks think. thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.
A new camera/lens system with personality (Fuji-X) as for a 'You Tube" animator and a "UA-cam" videographer with a lot of talent! Thank you guys! And I miss even today the beginnings of TVTCS...
Love my XPro-1! 10 years later it’s still an amazing camera.
Here is the link to that decade-old review of the Fujifilm X-Pro1 by Chris 🤗: ua-cam.com/video/8TOk_0kITBg/v-deo.html
I travelled to a lot of locations around the world with that camera and the X100s. I was never disappointed with the results and even today, enjoy revisiting those images. I still use both of them and they still backup my X-Pro2. I do have all three of the original lenses as well.
I have an x-pro1 kit wit the 18, 35 and 60mm and I stil love taking it out for some street photo once in awhile.
Love the Xpro line. I have all 3 and would never sell.
I absolutely loved my Xpro1 and it's trio of beautiful glass, I look back on LR and still enjoy many of the amazing photography I did with it
Chris, I am long time fan, I thought you look a lot better now than you were 10 years ago. You are the one.
I had an xt10 (older fuji sensor) and an XT3, and I always preferred the images from the older xt10. Old is gold in the fujifilm sensor world.
Silky smooth cinematic look with that anamorphic.
Was my dream camera back in the day. Couldn’t afford it. Was watching your review over and over again. Bought a x pro 2 used in 2019 and it’s still for me to be able to own this thing. I feel so gifted. The quality is amazing, I just do not miss anything and love to have the feel of an analog camera. I hope it gets even more features from old cameras. The optical viewfinder is just a joke next to my Leica m4p.
I still have my X-Pro 1 that I bought used and primarily shot manual focus lenses (cheap Chinese lens and a few vintage lenses) on it. I honestly loved it. I don't need the highest megapixels count nor do I need better low light performance, it's just enough for me.
I just wished X-Pro 1 have more option for film simulations just like later Fujis that come after it
Pal 2 Tech channel hjas shown a way you can hack LR to get older simulations to work with the older X cameras. note - it's an unsupported technique.
@@longboardfella5306 ahh I see thanks for the suggestion. I will try to look at it later on
Nice anamorphic work Jordan!
Thanks! Another great and entertaining video. How this channel doesn't have millions of subscribers is beyond me. Keep up the good work guys!
Nothing wrong with any of your pictures 👌 my old XE1 I still use from time to time 📷
I’ve had an X-E2 since 2016, I’ve wanted to upgrade but the newer models don’t do it for me like this one does. It’s a great little camera.
That xf60mm you're using is suuuuuch a gorgeous sleeper of a lens. Slow focus, not a real macro, terrible focus breathing....might be my favourite lens.
I too have an X Pro1 with the 3 lenses. It is the best camera I have ever owned. The best pictures i have ever shot are with this camera
IT IS A STILLY CAMERA I have never used the video, not even once
I don't know which camera to upgrade to, the xpro2, 3 or wait for the 4, but it will definitely be one with live view.
I just picked up an X-Pro1 last summer. The top plate is brassed like crazy and the LCD is pretty scratched up but this thing is amazing with a 23mm f/2. If I leave the house, it's always with me.
Thank You for this video. Honest and true conclusions. I bought the Pro1 in 2014, last summer a Pro3. For me these Pro cameras suits me best regarding my style. People, portrait, candid street. They are awesome performers in small and silent bodies. I use 16mm 2.8, then the original 18,35,60mm first class optics. Thank You, Fujifilm!
I've bought the XT1, XT10, XT100, XA2, XT20, XE3, XT2... I sold all those stuff and now I have the Xpro1 and everything just feels perfect... I can say it's more sluggish when it comes to performance compared to what I used to own but my shooting style just feels fit with what the Xpro1 can do... no body needs fast AF when shooting streets we do zone focusing
I just purchased one for 300€, can’t wait to try it out and see how it compares to my X-T2
how does it compare homie don't leave us hanging
Great fun video looking back on the birth of the X Trans sensor. So glad we have so many options today!
It's interesting. The image quality still holds up, years later. Things have improved, but not so dramatically. It makes me think about what I'm actually looking for in a camera, and how many overstuffed features I could take or leave. In a lot of ways, I just want something like this, but it really works- snappy start-up and operation, great battery life, well thought out controls.
I just picked up an X-Pro1. I shoot a decent amount of film and wanted a Fuji X100S/T/or F and couldn't find any at a reasonable price. Found a X-Pro1 locally for sale. The previous owner is a USA X-Photographer, which is great because it was very well taken care of. I have a ton of film lenses that I can adapt to it too.
I used an xpro1 for years. I absolutely loved the thing. adapted lenses depending on the focal length looked so good! I had just moved on to full frame mirrorless since all I use really is older film lenses or all manual lenses like Zeiss. I was honestly sad the day I traded it in. but I got more than enough use out of it and better for it to find a better home. This video kinda hit the nostalgia bone for me
Came for the X-Pro - stayed for the GH5/Vazen combo - some beautiful footage worthy of its own video, Jordan. What were the focal lengths, and which one was your favourite? We want details!
Was glad to see Chris mentioned that the X-Pro 1 was broken upon release. When I first tried it out, it was truly terrible. The camera would freeze the display when focusing and other terrible performance hitches. Thankfully, Fujifilm did a wonderful job in updating the camera and turning it into a great imaging machine.
I still use my XT1 to this day! It's my daily carry even tho I have the XT2, XH1 and a GFX50r system. The XT1 - which came shortly after the XPro1 - same sensor, still produces amazing, rich images! And I still have my 35mm 1.4 original and the 60mm F2.4 Macro and I will NEVER part with either one!
I still own an X-Pro1 and using on weekend outings. Love the picture quality and OVF.
Loved the look of the anamorphic lenses! Felt so classic!!
Excellent review. Nice to look back once in awhile. Still 'truckin' with my X-Pro2.
Due to the economic crisis Bolsonaro drove us into here in Brazil, I think I'll have to keep myself satisfied with the Xpro1 for some time, so I appreciate this video, which makes me see the silver lining of having my 10 years old camera.
I started with the X-T2, moved to the X-T4, and then downsized to the X-S10, and while I'm looking to move to Sony for my pro work, there's nothing as enjoyable as shooting Fuji (barring the X-S10). I'll still remain loyal to Fuji in some way, as I have an X100V as my personal camera, and am not ruling out picking up future ILC in the future.
the night shots from the X-Pro 1 look great, and contemporary. I wonder how many people could tell that these shots came from a 10 yr old camera rather than from a contemporary body when viewed on a screen (where 99% of people view 99% of images) ?
I bought a used XP1 about four years ago, and it's the best cam I've ever owned. Granted, it's the most nearly upmarket cam I've ever bought, but I'm still impressed with its sharpness, and nothing else I've ever shot with was any good at ISO 1600, while this one is great. I understand cameras have come a long way since then, but for me, I'd say I got my $275 worth and then some.
Quality shines through the years, ok, you and Jordan as well.
Have D850+Z6ii but I still have and use my Fuji xpro1.....I like to think my cameras from Nikon is like going to a top restaurants you can have almost anything from the pro sheff , but my old 10year Fuji is like going home to your mum's cooking,it's not the best but it makes you feel warm inside and brings that smile that restaurant cannot give you ....this is fuji
The music at 6:06 was great, felt different than what you guys would normally use.
that anamorphic lens for this video is amazing
And according to the lens roadmap on their website, they will be releasing a 150-600 mm zoom this year. Looks like they’re pushing further into the wildlife, nature, sports shooter market. However it is a tough market and as cellphone cameras get better and better, the market will tighten even more.
I had the original X100 back in the day, the AF was sluggish but I loved the images that it produced... it was just fantastic. Now I have a X-T3 as a main camera and a X-E1 as an everyday carry around.
I bought a xpro1 new with 18/2 and 35/1.4 very cheap back in october 2015. In 2021 I bought a used xt1 super cheap so I do not need to change lenses all the time. If you are not in a hurry these cameras are perfectly fine. I prefer the files from the original xtrans sensor though (xpro1)...just more organic and beautiful!
still enjoying using my X-E2s with XF23.4, best snapshot combination for me.
Thanks for the salute to the X-Pro1! I loved my X-Pro2 and now my X-Pro3. Your video makes me appreciate my X-Pro3 even more, if that is even possible ;)
Damn... 10 whole years.
Still remember watching the review and the bad audio inside that car.
edit: beautiful cinematography by Jordan.
Chris, the reason why you now like the X-Pro1 more, is called aging. The X-Pro1 was my first step in X-mount early 2012. It was indeed useless at first. I’ve owned in total 12 X and some GFX cameras and used them for both personal and professional work until early 2020 when I switched. The one that remained is the X-Pro2. The X-Pro2 fixed almost all of the issues of the X-Pro1 without the unneccessary gimmicks of the X-Pro3. I still use it every now and then for personal work. Highly recommended.
Great camera and great review. It was great to see y'all revisit not only the camera but the locations you shot. Keep it up!
This is my travel camera with the kid lens 2-4f. Love it
Kind of surprised Jordan didn't like the X-Pro1's video w/ the internal mic. It gave his voice a kind of ..... sexy tone! 🤣
Nice review guys. It was the X-Pro1 that got me away from heavy DSLRs and into smaller/lighter mirrorless cameras. No regrets. I still have my X-Pro1 and 35mm f/1.4. Took it out shooting the other day and it was just as satisfying as it was ten years ago.
All I use is an xpro1 with adapted vintage glass. It looks and feels like film, feels analog. 10/10 for what it is.
I just bought a used but in great condition XPro1 like almost a month ago. I also own an XT3 and an XT1 and right now I see myself picking up more the Pro1. I just love everything on this camera. Also currently matched to a late 1970’s canon 50mm f1.4 fd lens and I love it!👌🏻
Bought this camera second hand last year. X mount is amazing, fujifilms ergonomics are just brilliant. Plus shooting with the OVF is the only way to go
Aaaaah, my inner monk is happy. Chris has found some puddles :) The X-Pro1 changed photography for me completely... what a fantastic journey that was since then!
