Fuji X-Pro 1
alipaulphotography:
This camera looks awesome. I do wish there was a full frame version, but other than that it sounds perfect for my day to day and travel camera. Could definitely get use at weddings when you want to be seriously quiet to not ruin the moment.
This and the 35mm f/1.4 (53mm on APS-C) should be a killer combination.

What does everyone else think?
Blows the G1X out the water in my opinion.
kubelik:
it's definitely a nice-looking (and probably nice handling) body and set of lenses. but comparing it to the G1X isn't really fair, since the estimated price for the Fuji X Pro 1 is around $1750 for the body and approx. $650 for each prime lens (seen on dpreview). versus the G1X, which is $800, period.
it's sort of like saying the 7D blows the G1X out of the water. the X Pro 1 is meant to be a photographer's primary camera, versus the G1X is clearly meant to be a high-end compact / photographer's backup camera. different price ranges and different niches.
Meh:

Possibly but my gut feel is to agree with kubelik... the price of the Fuji is not worth any benefits over the G1X if you are buying it for a compact, carry around camera in addition to your DSLR. Do you have any specific thoughts on why you prefer the X-Pro1?
rumorzmonger:
The G1X is just another drop of water in an ocean of point-and-shoot cameras, while the Fuji X-Pro 1 is clearly aimed at serious enthusiasts.
Meh:
It will be interesting to see how the colours turn out on the Fuji. Their new 6X6 colour filter array that they claim eliminates the need for the AA filter is interesting. Instead of a repeating 2X2 Bayer pattern they place the B and R pixels randomly in the 6X6 array.
Any mathematicians in the house that can comment on this?
