Verdictwhich should you buy?
X-Pro1 — Film Photography Enthusiasts & Fujifilm X-Mount Collectors: The camera that started it all — slow, imperfect, and still uniquely loveable for the quality of images it produces.
X-Pro2 — Street, Documentary & Travel Photography: The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
