I have been using the X Pro 1 for a couple of weeks now with all the three Fujinon lenses and with some M lens and the following are my findings:
Image quality is in my view excellent and I do expect to see further improvement once the support from Adobe and Capture One is available.
The AF is reasonably fast even in low light and generally accurate. Focusing with the OVF required to me some training but now is ok and I do not have much to complain.
Manual focus on the contrary is not implemented in an optimal way, both with native lenses and with legacy lenses. Focus peacking is missing and the image enlargement is not stable enough to allow easy and accurate focusing.
OVF is nice but the frames are not accurate enough (M8.2 and M9 are much better in this regard). The frame lines are available only for a limited range of focal lenght.
The use of legacy lenses is limited by the rather poor manual focus implementation and by the sub optimal performances of most WA's (I have tested only RF lenses).
The operability of the camera is pretty good with the provided knobs and wheels and accessing the menu is seldom required in normal operation.
Light metering is accurate but the auto-iso function is very poorly implemented: the shutter speed from which ISO values start to move up is fixed by tjhe camera at unreasonably low values.
