Fuji XPro-1 Preview

Even though I've been a Canon shooter for more than a decade, over the past couple of years I've become increasingly interested in what Fuji is offering serious photographers. I've had the quirky X100 since 2011, and it's been my favorite camera I've ever owned. The compact retro design of the X-series cameras with the incredible low-light capabilities of the sensors and a growing batch of quality lenses, make these cameras a compelling alternative to the Canon/Nikon dominance of the photography world.

I've been eager to try other cameras in the X-Series, and with an assignment coming up at the end of this week, I decided to rent the Fuji XPro-1 with the XF 35mm 1.4 lens. I'll be testing it out over the next several days, and I'll post a more complete review later, but here are a few sample images from my first couple of days with the camera.
