Besides price which is the better of the two between FujiFilm x-Pro1 & Canon EOS M?
1846734
Unfortunately, the EOS M is not one of Canon's finer moments. Ridiculously slow to focus and ponderous with an EOS adapter and EOS lens mounted... There's zero question in my mind that the Fuji X-Pro 1 is the camera (out of those two) to have. I had a shelf full of EOS lenses and I still never bought an EOS M. It's a dog :(

I have all kind of cameras (Sony Nex 5 N, Fuji XPro1, Fuji X100, Nikon DSLR, and Three Olympus) , and never attracted to Canon Products!.... but I know about the Canon EOS M, you can compare it to Sony Nex but Not to a highly respected camera like Fuji X Pro1! They do not have any common ground!, Fuji is a professional Camera and you need a rich backgrand of photography to be able to use it. Fuji X Pro1 is a Porsche 911 and Canon EOS M is a VW!!......you have to compare Fuji Xp1 to a Leica Not to a Cheap Canon!

Right now you can get the XSi with the 18-55mm kit lens and the 55-250mm lens for just under $800 through Amazon. Both lenses are image stabilized and I have heard good things about the 55-250, which give great range on a cropped sensored body such as the XSi. Amazon doesn't list these items together but if you add them both to your cart (make sure Amazon is the seller on both) you will save $100 over buying them seperately. This price isn't shown until you get the order confirmation screen. This is the best price I have seen on this camera and don't expect to see a much better deal any time soon. The $100 off is an instant rebate promotion that Canon is offering through it's authorized retailers and it lasts until the middle of January. I would also recommend SanDisk's Extreme III class 6 memory cards in order to fully optimize the speed of the camera. I hope this helps.

Yes, back to your original post. I guess the sx1 is for those wanting the benfits of a CMOS sensor, greater zoom (over the sx200 which looks like a great pocket camera), true 1080p HD video, and standard AA battery usage (rechargable, of course, but standard in a pinch), and RAW+JPEG, all things I like very much.p.s. on that review site above the image quality of the rebel xsi is quite inferior to either the sx1 or sx10!

I also have the X-M1. The IQ is about the same, but the 18-55 is a bit better. Focus speed is also about same between the two cameras.

PEN pros are interchangeable lenses, HD video capure, now available, sane price;PEN cons: smaller sensor... others?X1 pros are aperture and shutter-speed dials, Leica optics, larger sensor;X1 cons are high price point, and it's not yet available.Also, I don't care for a lens that retracts on shutoff, because it:* is a dust trap,* prevents use of lens filters and hoods (shades against flare),* delays startup time, and* needlessly consumes battery power.That said, I still favor the X1.I greatly enjoy the D-LUX 3 and 4, after having had many LUMIX models.Available light performance should be great.I will tell you if I'm happy later.

If price is not the issue, then get the big one. You can do more with it. It's not that difficult to learn and it works with most upper-end Fujifilm cameras. This is subjective, but to me it's worth it.

It's a great camera for those who don't want to slug around more than one lens. It shoots extremely good photos. Its compact size and superb image quality are perfect for street photographers. It's not fast enough for professional work for, say, in wedding photography. I would compare this to a poor man's Leica. I'm upset with Sony for abandoning any firmware work on the camera; that's something you'd probably not experience with Leica. Many people (including me) have complained that the camera's focusing is too slow--something that could be fixed by a firmware patch. But there's no support at all on the Sony website. I think a fair price for this is around $1800 for new. It really is a great camera. But if you can find one for barely used, I think $1500 is acceptable. It's more expensive than the Fuji XT1, but the lens on the RX1 is amazing. The sensor is fantastic. It's easy to use and handles well.

The biggest difference is the new X-Trans sensor which removes the optical low pass filter (OLPF)... making pics much sharper than they were in the x10. Here's more from dpreview's review (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x20/): At first glance, the X20 looks just like its predecessor (the X10), although it's now available in a very pretty silver-and-black finish, alongside the conventional all-black. But inside it offers a couple of very significant differences. The first is a brand-new sensor, a 2/3" type 'X-Trans CMOS' design that uses the same novel color filter array as Fujifilm's recent APS-C cameras. This sensor also has phase detect autofocus built right into it - not new to Fuji cameras, but a change from the X10. The second big change is an updated 'Advanced Optical Viewfinder' that includes a detailed information overlay, showing key exposure data and focus confirmation. This isn't the same as the hybrid viewfinder found in the company's X100/X100S and X-Pro1 models - there's no electronic viewfinder - but it's never been done before on a compact camera. The X20 is available in silver/black and all-black bodies Aside from this, the X20 retains most of the same features that made the X10 so appealing. It uses the same fast zoom lens, with a 28-112mm equivalent angle of view and F2.0-2.8 maximum aperture, which is operated by a mechanically-coupled zoom ring that also retracts the lens and turns the camera on and off. It has plenty of external controls, including an exposure compensation dial and two rear dials, and a hot shoe for external flash. One feature notable by its absence is a direct movie record button - the X20 is clearly designed for still photography first, and video second.

If you are an enthusiast and shoot a wide range of photography subjects, it should be ok. The X-T1 is very good for travel, people, landscapes, etc. For sports, the D600 is far more effective. Also consider the lenses. You can get the 35mm f1.4, which is great optically, but the focusing is a bit sluggish.

I am using it with my X-E1. I do not have any problems with the speed thus far for my uses (enthusiast photography, architectural and stills). I do like the quality, very sharp and great colors. I am not sure what kind of speed you are looking for and unfortunately I have not used the Canon lens you mention. If speed is desired, F2.8 is desirable, but as far as performance and price point is concerned; this is the sweet spot for me. Also, read some of the reviews on the purchase page. Very good info there as well. Good luck!

I like the big zoom range of the Fuji film and the better price, but you need to compare the write type camera's with each other.If you like to buy a Fuji Film HS25EXR i would spend a bit more for the HS30EXR you have a battery pack and some small deference's, the Battery pack works really well.I also ordered a fast 32 GB memory card and a UV lens and a extra double Bat.pack with a Car and 120V via Amason.ZIP NP-W126 (Includes 2-1500mAh battery, pocket charger) for Fuji Finepix HS30EXR, HS33EXR,X-E1, X-Pro1 Just let me know if you like to have more information.Will Mangumwhitehouse B&B; I like the big zoom range of the Fuji film and the better price, but you need to compare the write type camera's with each other.If you like to buy a Fuji Film HS25EXR i would spend a bit more for the HS30EXR you have a battery pack and some small deference's, the Battery pack works really well.I also ordered a fast 32 GB memory card and a UV lens and a extra double Bat.pack with a Car and 120V via Amason.ZIP NP-W126 (Includes 2-1500mAh battery, pocket charger) for Fuji Finepix HS30EXR, HS33EXR,X-E1, X-Pro1... » Read More I like the big zoom range of the Fuji film and the better price, but you need to compare the write type camera's with each other.If you like to buy a Fuji Film HS25EXR i would spend a bit more for the HS30EXR you have a battery pack and some small deference's, the Battery pack works really well.I also ordered a fast 32 GB memory card and a UV lens and a extra double Bat.pack with a Car and 120V via Amason.ZIP NP-W126 (Includes 2-1500mAh battery, pocket charger) for Fuji Finepix HS30EXR, HS33EXR,X-E1, X-Pro1 Just let me know if you like to have more information.Will Mangumwhitehouse B&B; « Show Less

"Old model" refers to the original EOS-M; Canon came out with the EOS-M2, only available in Japan, the M2 is an updated version of the EOS M mirrorless camera, with faster autofocus thanks to the use of a Hybrid CMOS II sensor, as seen in the EOS 100D / SL1.

X-Pro 1 has a hybrid optical + electronic view finder whereas X-E1/E2 only has an electronic viewfinder. The X-E1/E2 has a built-in flash and the X-Pro 1 does not. X-E1/E2 is also smaller than the X-Pro 1. Finally, X-E1/E2 is about $200 less.

It is much slower than using a DSLR. I have a K-5 and still occasionally use my K100D Super, and the X-5 has a considerable delay with respect to those. But for applications such as close-ups of wild flowers, landscapes, pictures of family, etc., it's a lot lighter both in terms of the camera body and you have just one lens, and the result is decent. And you don't have to worry about having a lot of high cost gear with you. So, like everything, there are trade-offs.

Often times Fuji AF system frustrates me. I hear that XF35mm lens performance might feel better with X-T1 but with my X-E1 your description is really familiar to me. When it happens, I put it in manual focus mode which makes a great photo.

I have both and I wouldn't change the D600 for the X-T1 for serious, payed or critical work. Although it's my opinion for the photography I do... maybe for you is different. I would suggest renting one for a week or so, try it extensively and come to a decision. Cheers.

How about a Canon Tx-1? I got a brand new US model on fleabay for $285. It's a fantastic point & shoot and takes 720p video. Best of all, it has beautiful Canon optics with a 10x zoom lens that is active while shooting movies.Negatives are tiny controls (what do you expect on a camera this powerful in this small form factor), tiny screen (ditto), and m-jpeg compression for the AVI files.Check it out. It's a fantastic camera.
