Techradar meet with the X-Pro1 designer

Techradar met with the X-Pro1 designer at CES 2012 in January.

Jun Sato, Fuji’s Design Manager for the X-series, revealed that the X-Pro1 was about half-way finished when he received feedback on the X100 that would allow his team to finesse the new camera.

This means that Fujifilm seems to have a long term strategy. The X-100 was a starting point and the X-Pro1 should confirm what they are capable of.

As Kodak fades, FujiFilm embodies a new generation of photographic technology driven by genuine innovation rather than strict adherence to marketing formulas. A powerful lesson is hidden in this story.

Exactly.
