Sample Photos Show Fujifilm X-Pro1’s Crazy Quality at High ISOs

When Fujifilm said that the X-Pro1’s sensor “resolution and low noise will surpass rival 35mm full size sensor[s]”, they weren’t kidding. Photographers Christian Fletcher and Michael Coyne have both been testing out the camera, and have extremely positive things to say about it.

My initial feelings are that this camera is a worthy replacement for a bulky dslr system. If you have to travel light, this is the camera for you. Physically it is only marginally larger than the x100 so slinging it around your neck for a day is no problem. In fact I am wearing mine right now!, it is a fashion accessory!! Man bling! or Girl Bling too for that matter. [#]

Fletcher has published a number of untouched sample photos to his blog, including the ISO 6400 image above shot by Coyne. Click here to check out the full-res version (be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor). Some more sample photos can be seen here, including an ISO 25600 one.

In other news, Fujifilm has revealed that it has sold roughly 100,000 X100 cameras through 2011.
