Fuji Guys - Fujifilm X-Pro1 Focal Plane Shutter Demo

This is a quick look at the Focal Plane Shutter system on the Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera. Due to the design of the focal plane shutter, the fastest flash sync speed on this camera will be 1/180s (Auto Mode). We tested in Manual mode to work up to 1/125s.

Horrible shutter lag!!i 'm surprised they call it a "pro" model. This is just perfect to miss the moment!

@aleregi87 Video is to demo "shutter sound"

[TheTukTuk2008]

Horrible shutterlag. That is embarrissing and unexpected for such a highcost camera!

[fujiguys]

@TheTukTuk2008 Video is to demo Shutter Sound

[MfromGVK]

Is there a delay ??

[fujiguys]

@MfromGVK Shutter lag is less than DSLR. Video is to demo Shutter sound and not speed of operation.

@fujiguys As @BlouseFashion said i would too want to see a comparison between a DSLR and this, i know this video isn't about the AF but the other videos out there have shown that the AF problems haven't been reduced since the X100.

Love Fuji's ambitions in getting cool concepts out on the market, but a delay to finish the products entirely would be a whole gamechanger.

@fujiguys hey guys?

Why not just reply with a quick video demonstrationg the shutter lag with a side by side comparrison of a similar priced DSLR?

Perhaps that will settle the moans from the armchair togs lol.

[fujiguys]

@CyCreativeMedia No memory card inside (internal memory), no attached lenses. Compare to DSLR, shutterlag is less due to lack of flipup mirror. Shot-to-shot time speed based on fast SD card, recommend Sandisk Extreme Pro.

@BoxxyFan Please be patient, however some things can be improved over firmware.

[fujiguys]

@TheChill0ut This video is about the sound of the focal plane shutter. I don't think using this video to judge AF nor shutter lag is correct. Without the mirror like most DSLR, the X-Pro1 has less shutter lag than DSLR.

[TheChill0ut]

Bad AF and that Fuji delay on the shutter ain't going to cut it, pre nor post if the price is set to what it is by todays standard

[BoxxyFan]

Hey Fujifilm, where is my x100 firmware update?

Auto focus on the x100 is very slow and often misses focus completely in low light situation.

Manual focus on the x100 is completely un-intuitive and takes dozen of turns to go from macro to infinity.

Do you think people will want to invest in your X-Pro1 system if your support for existing products is so abysmal?
