Did you order directly from Taobao (China)?

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

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?

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:

Customer Service : 07-235-7755#15 　Fax: 07-235-6600　Mobile : 0973-473055

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

Glad to help.

I think I have reached the point where I can no longer read reviews. I just want the camera in my own hands.

You may find this one worth it.

Here is a very thorough review from WhatDigitalCamera magazine. http://www.whatdigitalcamera.com/eq...mcameras/129263/1/fujifilm-x-pro1-review.html

Looks like they had to really struggle to fill out a list of cons...black paint not hardy enough? 🙂

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.

 

[splitimageview]

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!

Here's a video just on YouTube from DigitalRevTV:

He seems to like it but the auto-focus is at times slow. I have to say i had the same problem with my Leica D-Lux 5 at times so it's nothing new. What do you think of the review?

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.🙄

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*

Cool camera, but it's going to be an EOS 5D MK III for me.

Amazing set of images here.
