I took a first look at the Fujifilm XPro-1 early last month and it’s safe to say that I fell in love. The heartbreaking news before that day was that I wasn’t going to be able to get my hands on one to review; Gord from Fujifilm managed to pull some strings, and I didn’t just get to spend some time with it–I had enough time to shoot a wedding with it.

It’s not a bad idea, but it will be interesting to see how viable it is moving forward.
