Can't order directly (need China bank account right?). Got it through an Taobao agent.

Ordered a lens through DigtalRev and a body from ebay (Taiwan). Although the price collectively was much more than $2300 USD. Is there a way to get a better price directly through Ruten? Do those in the US have to use an agent with them as well?

The X-Pro1 is listed as available on Ruten in Taiwan. Price is set at approx. US$2300 for the body + 35/1.4

Ruten is only accessible in Taiwan.

You might try contacting some of the sellers directly.

The one that looks like they have current stock is Rawson Camera in Kaohsiung:
Monday thru Sunday: AM:10:00-PM:22:00
Customer Service : 07-235-7755#15 　Fax: 07-235-6600　Mobile : 0973-473055
email : rawson0055@gmail.com　


I have no connection to the seller. Just trying to be helpful.
 
Much appreciated!

There it is again. Having started by calling it a "rangefinder-style" camera, it takes only one page of the preview to elide style and achieve status: "As the camera is a rangefinder..."

Amusing to see how nobody calls the OM-D a single lens reflex on account of its styling, yet the XP1 invariably becomes a rangefinder.
 
I noticed that as well.

Since it's a rangefinder, perhaps they should do a focus speed shootout vs the M9. :)

Perhaps the reviewer should not lump the gear all together in a bag, that might solve the black paint 'issue.'

"some of the paint was coming off due to knocking against other metal parts in a camera bag"

Kind of an embarrassing moment of self-admission! Turns out those bag threads aren't so frivolous after all: divider inserts, people, divider inserts!

I think that the reviewer needs to make use of a dictionary or thesaurus. From the article:

"...but consider that this is more resolute than a 720p HD screen, making the Fujifilm screen the most resolute on any consumer camera to date..."

I'm glad that the display is so "resolute" -- just what the photographer needs in trying situations.:rolleyes:
 
I think the overuse of "rangefinder" is a result of its being a rare, and thought dying, breed. It's unique, among the dead sea of DSLRs. So if it looks like a rangefinder, it must be :)

Think about it. DSLR are so prevalent that you get people to tell you "today most DSLR are digital" *sic*
