    Dpreview tested the X1 and here's their review:

    -Autofocus distinctly slower than most
    -Unimpressive battery life
    -Accurate manual focus impossible (lens stops down uncontrollably)
    -Low light operation relatively poor (very slow AF and screen -refresh rate)
    -Live histogram unreliable, disappears when setting exposure compensation
    -ISO only visible in detailed display mode; Auto ISO doesn't show selected value at all
    -Click stops for control dial 'A' positions not positive enough (particularly on the shutter speed dial)
    -Camera locks up completely when buffer is full shooting raw
    -Electronic image stabilization of limited usefulness (only works in JPEG mode)
    -Unrefined JPEG image quality
    -Playback mode slow and unresponsive

    Conclusion: RECOMMENDED

    You fucking kidding me?

    • That's actually the cons list of the pros and cons. But it certainly looks like it's due a firmware upgradecomicsans
