photos that the Fuji X-Pro 1 can't take
Everyone knows that the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 is a completely inappropriate camera for focusing in low light conditions, taking picture of action like kids running around, and for making a quality martini. Here are some examples to show how terrible this camera really is.
If you would like to share a crappy photo that you took with an X-Pro 1 (or X100, for that matter), please feel free to use the Submit link below. I'll be sure to include attribution and links to your website/blog/whatever.

Focusing in low light is something the X-Pro 1 can’t handle at all, especially when relying on the optical viewfinder.

The firmware 2.00 update clearly did nothing to help getting sports photos with the 60mm lens, which is still slow as a dog.

Fujifilm released a firmware update for the X-Pro 1, despite the fact that you can’t polish a turd.

Kid on a swing? The focus can’t keep up. And forget about trying to isolate the subject with a shallow DOF.

Car moving at ~40 mph, at f/1.4. The front grille is out of focus thanks to the shallow DOF. Shame on the X-Pro 1 for not being able to violate the laws of physics to get the whole car in focus with the lens wide open.

Clearly the X-Pro 1 struggles in low light, despite this commentary from Nate on Yomadic:
The photos on this page are from an abandoned government building in the South Island of New Zealand. In this case, it’s a perfect demonstration of the camera – in a dimly lit situation, the Fuji Xpro1 has no problem focusing. No problem, at all.

Fuji XPro1 : Best Travel Camera Ever – Abandoned Building Shoot
Nate, on Yomadic:
Don’t believe what you read about the autofocus in low-light. The Fuji focuses just fine, even in low light. The supposed AF issue must be one of those internet memes that has somehow turned myth into fact.
I’d rather believe an internet meme than someone who actually uses the camera.

Anonymous asked: I totally agree with you! The XPro1 can't take those pictures you showed. :-)
Showing pictures that the X-Pro 1 can’t take wasn’t possible until the Higgs boson was confirmed.
