Fuji In The Merrie Monthe Of Maye
Good news for travellers who plan to go and dance upon the green in the northern hemisphere to celebrate May - and equally good news if you plan to stay home and dance on the brown. Camera Electronic has a special on the new Fuji X-Pro1 camera kits so you can capture the action in the best possible style.
The Fuji X-Pro1 is one of the most elegant and capable digital cameras on the market right now. Its size is reminiscent of the 35mm camera of twenty years ago but the styling and functionality are absolutely up to date - I suspect they will set the pace for a long time to come. When you use it the controls you need really do fall right to the place you need them, and the result is there is no barrier between you and the picture you see.
Look though that big bright viewfinder on the northwest corner - no squashing your nose on the LCD screen - and no matter which of the Fuji lenses you have on - 18mm, 35mm, or 60mm - there is a clean clear frame line and view. Take the shot and the finder throws back an electronic repeat of what you just captured - a quick check without chimping the camera down to your waist. Brilliant operational concept - you move and shoot without interruption.
Sharp lenses? Oh, my dear goodness, yes. As sharp as their main competitor and I suspect sharper than many of the DSLR lenses in current general use. Certainly sharper than the lenses I use - but I run mine into the diffraction-limited f stops anyway so I have decided to just sniff and shrug my shoulders and be jealous.
But. For the month of May, things might be different. Camera Electronic is lowering the price of the Fuji X-Pro1 kit to $ 2250. That means the camera, the 35mm Fujinon lens, the lens hood and lens caps - and even a hood cap. All cables, charger, battery, and software are in there -the whole thing ready to go. Add an SD card and stir - the soul.
For anyone contemplating street photography, discrete wedding shots, portraiture, field macro, or travel, this has to be one of the most attractive camera systems on the market. Sleek, black, fast, quiet, superb results and build quality. Intuitive operation and near-instant switch from automatic modes to manual control.
$ 2250. Month of May. From now to Memorial Day. In store right now.
