Along with the leaks of the Nikon D4, the new Fuji X-series mirrorless camera leaked out today. The X-Pro1 may very well be the interchangeable lens camera we’ve all been waiting for ever since the X100 was announced.
The Fuji X-Pro1 will feature a 16MP APS-C image sensor that was custom developed for this camera. It builds upon the X100 with a second-generation hybrid viewfinder, a new filter array and Fuji’s EXR technology. The top image is believed to be a legitimate image of the new camera.
It appears that it will launch with three new prime lenses:
- 18mm (27mm equivalent) f/2.0
- 35mm (53mm equivalent) f/1.4
- 60mm (90mm equivalent) f/2.4
I expect to see more of this new X-Series model at CES 2012. Stay tuned for the latest.

the X100 was an excellent proof of concept product. i did find though the X10 to be a much more useful camera overall. this no intercangeable lens model will be an interesting option.
Well, I planning on getting the X100 this spring…now I know what I am getting instead.
A Fuji X100 interchangeable lens??? It sounds great. Maybe I am going to sell my C3 and switch to Fuji. I guess that Fuji has learned a lot with the comments of professional photohraphers about the X100, so the X Pro1 could be a huge surprise.
The lenses are really impressive, hope to get zooms also soon. Even though I like the primes better, i still will need the zooms from time to time for sure :)
One disappointment is that the 60mm macro is not a real macro, only gives 0.5x magnification ratio:
