True. Likewise there are many (majority?) who seem to expect the new camera model to bring photographic redemption. It won't.Some people have fun with new cameras and that is part of their pleasure. Nothing wrong with it.
HI RicardoTrue. Likewise there are many (majority?) who seem to expect the new camera model to bring photographic redemption. It won't.
But all right, I agree with that you said.

Thank you Vivek. I'm looking forward to raw image support for the XP1, although the jpegs out of this camera are pretty good.Looks very nice, Carl!
Very nice images Uwe and accurate synopsis of the XP1 good and bad points.We had the Fuji X-Pro1 for this morning. All images from JPEG.
-Great JPEGs, excellent truthful colors and good detail
-Good lenses (at least the 35mm and 60mm)
-ISO amazing
-Sensor delivers and no AA filter seems to pay off
-No IS in lenses yet
-AF so-so (you can hear the slowish AF motor)
-slow writing to card
-No raw support in Lightroom yet
-Still the raw files don't seem to be compressed
-OVF is not very precise
-EVF of but not great
-No diopter for the viewfinder (but you can use screw-in corrections lenses)
Auto-ISO can result in longer shutter speeds that may produce motion blur

I might be one of this set, though don't have it as bad as the others My digicam era started with the Minolta Dimage 7 about 10 years ago and I thought it was a technological marvel and I took it everywhere and thought it was wonderful. In order after that: Pentax ist*D, Sony R1, Pentax K20D, Panasonic G1, Pentax K5, Panasonic GH2, Fuji X100 ...I don't see why honestly and saying this in general- why the release of a good camera like the X1-Pro should trigger a complete desire to buy from people with already excellent cameras baffles me at this point, if they are interested in photography that is. Maybe that's my mistake, that assumption.
Seen long enough that a lot of same group that jumped from X to latest pen2, jumped to GH2/K-5's then Pen 3s, then now the EM-5 and X1 Pro. Oh what's on that horizon- the GH3? And later E-7 (yes, it's coming apparenlty) and EM-5 MKII. I am sure there will be some new super camera coming in 6-12 months to upgrade again. And again. And again. And again.
...
I realize that my K-5 is still very much fantastic. Nothing to do with the K-5, all to do with why from having a fantastic camera go to a new fantastic camera.

Lee, Keep posting the photos. I enjoy them. The X Pro 1 images (pretty much every single image posted by everyone) are quite decent to excellent. Amazing IQ!Life is short, time is short, time for having 'fun' is even shorter.

P.S. I need to resolve to stay away from all camera fora for a few years ...
Terry,My first real outing with the camera. I went to the Japanese Tea Garden in SF. It only opens at 9 and there isn't much time before the sun gets harsh and there are too many people in the way. I have to get used to shooting primes again....although when I do that I seem to like to have two bodies. Mostly everything was taken with the 35mm. If I had to pick one of the three lenses or the X100 with the 24mm I would stick with the 35mm. I like my lenses either very wide or a little longer so the 35mm on a crop sensor suits me well. ]
