rub it in, California girl, rub it in!

Vivek, if you want hard core, an 18mm on this camera would be great...prefocus, aperture priority...unbeatable for street, IMHO.

Re: new Fuji X Pro1 camera (formerly called "new camera")
I'm too mean to buy a subscription - so I can't read it at all! Still, I'm not going to buy a camera with one slopey shoulder and one straight one.
How can they have designed something as beautiful as the X100 . . . . and then lost the plot so badly with the design of this one:facesmack: (very strange).

I just read his review and from what I have read so far I will be holding off buying. Hopefully Fuji can fix some things in a firmware update. Anyway at least until a dealer has them in stock and I can try one I will hold off.

(I will probably add the 18 a bit later.)
I think the 35/1.4 would suit me well.Vivek, if you want hard core, an 18mm on this camera would be great...prefocus, aperture priority...unbeatable for street, IMHO.

Re: new Fuji X Pro1 camera (formerly called "new camera")
Yes, Jono, if you want a sexy looking camera there are other better options.
Here is my 'Texas' Leica in front of the X-Pro1. I put them in that sequence for Jono. Well, it's not really a Texas Leica, as in a medium format Fuji, but it *is* a Leica and it's in Texas.

Remember Sean often writes his reviews as much for the manufacturers as he does for his subscribers! It often works too, Leica in particular listen to what he preaches and others will do what they can in firmware changes. Sean's review is a rolling story with many more details yet to unfold.
The one thing that came out so far for me is that he considers the X100 a pretty neat and useful camera and that didn't quite come out when reading his X100 early reviews either!
What is it in Sean's review that particularly puts you off?

Re: new Fuji X Pro1 camera (formerly called "new camera")
The small things he mentions in the article, mostly the focusing issues and the aperture blades that keep adjusting even in manual mode. I don't think i could use anything slower than the Nex7. I would have liked the autofocus to be on par with the Oly EP3.

Interesting AF demo of the XPro1 here: Fujifilm X-Pro1 Focus Test: Continous - YouTube
Looks faster than I can Manually focus anything!

Re: new Fuji X Pro1 camera (formerly called "new camera")
I understand that but they picked ideal subject and lighting to do the test. Unfortunately when it comes down to really using it in other than ideal situations the focus speed is generally nowhere near as fast. I hope that I am proven wrong. Just saying I won't order one blind but will wait till I can try it out.
Re: new Fuji X Pro1 camera (formerly called "new camera")
Well only if you think subdued kitchen lighting with a window with backlight is ideal. And with postcard-sized subjects 9 feet from the camera. I did the video. There is another one in the set with the same setting done at night. This is pretty typical AF speed in all the situations shot so far.
