The X-Pro1 is built around an all-new 16.3-megapixel ‘X-Trans’ APS-C CMOS sensor. The big deal here is that the sensor breaks with the standard 2×2 Bayer colour filter array and instead uses its own bespoke 6×6 pixel arrangement. This has allowed Fuji to remove the anti-aliasing filter (also referred to as the low-pass filter), which in turn leads to increased edge sharpness in images (the low-pass filter is essentially a light softening filter), but without the moiré problems that can often dog cameras lacking a low-pass filter. It’s a smart idea in theory and the good news is that it works in practice too. We’ll talk about image quality in more depth on the next page, but for now we’ll put it straight out there that the X-Pro1 and the dedicated 35mm f/2.8 Fujinon EF lens we tested it with is one of the sharpest combinations we’ve yet seen – sharper than many high-end DSLRs even.
