Compared to the Leica M9-P
It's not rocket science to work out who Fujifilm are really gunning for - the X-Pro1's similarity to the Leica M9 demonstrates the company's refound confidence, having already placed the X100 squarely up against the Leica X1. It's pretty clear that Fujifilm very much sees the X-Pro1, with its hybrid viewfinder and infinitely-variable framelines, as the modern autofocus reincarnation of the classic rangefinder. Let's not forget that the company is no stranger to the high-end professional market - it may have had a hiatus of several years, but made a wide range of medium format film cameras.
