Want to see exactly what the exciting new Fujifilm X-Pro1 compact system camera looks like in the flesh?
"Fujifilm have torn up the rule book to create a completely new kind of image sensor which is unique to and patented by the company. Bayer pattern sensors have to use an optical low pass filter to prevent
moire occurring thanks to their regular 2x2 pattern, resulting in a lowering of resolution. The X-Pro1’s sensor uses an irregular pixel pattern in the 6x6 format, with RGB pixels in all lines of the sensor, acting more like irregular siler halide film.
This means that no optical low pass filter is required on the X-Pro1, resulting in better image quality that Fujifilm claims will be as good as or even out-perform the Nikon D7000 and Canon EOS 5D Mk II. A brave claim indeed for what is an APS-C sized sensor - can it really beat a full-frame camera?"
