In the 90's I was still shooting my beloved Canon AE-1P that I bought in 1985 at the Base Exchange on Kunsan Air Base in Korea. I shot that camera exclusively along with Kodak film until sometime around 2000-2001 or so when I bought a sony digicam of some kind. in or about 2006 I bought a Rebel XT as my first DSLR. I stuck with Canon because of my success with the AE-1P.

What brought me around to the Fuji X series was the search for a compact camera that actually worked well. Small sensor cameras I tried were a big disappointment to me after shooting DSLR's.

When I read the specs for the Xpro-1 I noticed three things, APS-C sensor , no AA filter and a simple looking body with knobs to control the basic camera functions. It looked like just the ticket for what I wanted in a camera. As I was saving up the cash to buy a Xpro they announced the Xe-1 and the 18-55 mm lens. I decided that is really all I need and that is what I now have. I will by a 14 mm lens soon as well.
