GodfreyIt's an expensive little bugger and similar in essence to the GXR with one of the A12 AF camera units fitted. But every time i look at an X1 or X2, I end up liking the design more. So I ordered one. Should be here in the next couple of days.
I only can talk about the x1 which I find to deliver even better color and pop than the Nex cameras I tried and a little better than the Fuji x100 in pure IQ.Godfrey
same opinion here, I know there are maybe cheaper (maybe also better on paper) cameras out, but I really like the X design. Now with the X2 overcoming lot of the issues of the X1 (AF speed, high ISO noise) this becomes even more interesting!
Please report your real world findings as soon as possible.
Thanks

I reserve judgement as to what "outdoes" whatever, and what way. They are rather different cameras, in both concept and execution. The GXR performs very well and is a superbly versatile piece of equipment. The X2 is a lot more compact, a lot simpler; I'll know how well it performs relative to the GXR on imaging qualities once I have both in hand. I'll also know how well they work in comparison for my shooting needs too, which is a different thing.I think the x2 should outdo the GXR even though I very much like my GXR results with my old pre ASPH 35 on it.
@Godfrey did you also order the EVF?
Anything made in this class nowadays does well enough to satisfy me on basic imaging qualities, I'm much more attracted to the particulars of how the camera works nowadays rather than the interminable minutiae of AF speed, ISO sensitivity, etc etc.... same opinion here, I know there are maybe cheaper (maybe also better on paper) cameras out, but I really like the X design. Now with the X2 overcoming lot of the issues of the X1 (AF speed, high ISO noise) this becomes even more interesting!

Must be a wonderful and capable little camera!Mine arrived yesterday. Have had no time to take a picture with it yet, but it is freekin' beautiful!
Fitted it with an A&A case, self opening lens cap, Voigtländer OVF, Street Strap, and 32G card. This is gonna be a serious picture taking tool!
Here's a couple of snaps (taken with iPhone) of the rig all set to go to the book signing ...Must be a wonderful and capable little camera!
Enjoy it !!!
