Fuji X-E2: Anyone excited?

... and perhaps inevitable?

That said, for street/travel, a 24-28MP APSC sensor will be plenty IMO and I'd hope the XPro-2 will be in this ballpark. Looks like those fuji lenses will easily be able to lay down the detail needed by such a sensor.

With fine detail in photosm with the need to stand up to close scrutiny, my experience is that:

12 MP is great for A3+
20 MP is great for A2
18 Mp Leica Monochrom is great for A1 :D

I am an X Pro-1 owner and I am not excited because Sony just sucked all the oxygen out of the room with their new full frame camera. I keep thinking what Fuji might be thinking. I hope Fuji is taking note and we will see something from them soon.
 
At this point I'm hoping the X-Pro2 is going to be FF and will be a fast camera. I'm not into camera competitions generally, but the new Sony has to have Fuji thinking.

...Although more expensive, the new Sony Alpha line is going to have a massive impact on the market and for a pro to have a two body kit of the A7 and A7R, so with flexibility on AF and resolution, and use Leica glass... and Canon (and I'm in both systems). Wow.

I had been thinking about the Xpro 2 (assuming it had maybe 24mp), but now think I'll sell my X100 and a few other bits and pieces and jump into bed with Sony. They're offering exactly what I have been waiting for.

Yeah, Sony sure stole everyone's thunder. It's hard to get excited about anything now. They raised the bar for the entire industry.

i'm a huge fuji fan...but the shadow of the A7r is just looming to large for me to be excited about anything else. FF, 36mp, no AA, microlens structure supporting RF lenses, big bright vf, 1/8000 SS--my head is exploding!

i don't buy first gen products, so i'm excited...that the x-pro2 will have these upgrades.

some other cameras that undeservedly got lost in the shuffle: panasonic gm1, sony rx10, fuji xq1.
 
Why is everyone so certain the X Pro 2 is going to be FF? I thought the way the mount was designed would make it physically impossible/exceptionally difficult to engineer something like simply stuffing a bigger sensor in instead of the APS-C one (I remember some Fuji exec saying this, but I could be mistaken).

Something to do with the overall mount size or flange distance vs lens elements necessary to cover full-frame images (ie: oblique rays in the corners or vignetting)...

Who says they have to use the same lenses... Sony just split their mirrorless lineup into APSC and FF versions. Why can't Fuji do the same?
