Fuji X-Pro1 User's Guide shows promise · 131 words posted 01/27/2012 09:35 AM
As much as I love the X100, Fuji released the camera in a state that felt like “beta” and never brought it up to production quality. For example, there are four ways to insert the battery and only one of them works. Also, Fuji ships the battery charger with a small plastic insert that seems expressly designed to be lost.
But it looks like Fuji listened to these complaints when designing the upcoming X-Pro1. The newly published X-Pro1 user’s manual (PDF) shows they took time to get some of the little details right:
- The battery now has a dedicated charger. No more cheap plastic shim.
- The battery has been redesigned and only inserts one way.
Takeaway: ya gotta sweat the small stuff. I can’t wait for this camera.
