GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Film Photography Enthusiasts & Fujifilm X-Mount Collectors — X-Pro1 (2012): The camera that started it all — slow, imperfect, and still uniquely loveable for the quality of images it produces.
Landscape & Outdoor — KF (2022): The Pentax KF is a rare thing — a weather-sealed DSLR with in-body stabilisation and an articulating screen at an accessible price. Video is modest at 1080p/60p, but for outdoor and landscape photographers who prefer optical viewfinders and want real weather sealing, the KF delivers in a format that is increasingly hard to find.
Who should buy what
X-Pro1 (2012)
- Film photographers who want a digital camera with genuine analogue soul

KF (2022)
- Outdoor and landscape photographers who want weather sealing at an accessible price
