No. I specialized -after my career on photography- one year on each, on the three main fields in commercial photography: product, fashion and architecture/interiors.

That background and some years of experience put me in a certain place... For each professional photographer buying a compact digicam there are 10,000 hobbyists who will buy it. I'm not blinded by that camera in the slightest way. It would do absolutely nothing for my photography.

Whether it would or wouldn't do anything for your photography is mostly a separate issue from the other issues previously mentioned. So, carry on. 🙂
 
Don't fall for it, it's all a trick. Note the model number. And look, they even changed the lens elements logo...maybe that's for just the 35mm lens...heh.

I do rather like the aperture control grip...hey what's that A doing on the aperture ring?? 😉

I meant the typical buyer thinks that camera will help for making better photographs.

Or, they think it's one of a couple options that sort-of approximate what they're hoping for in a smallish digital. And since they don't have to worry about professionally shooting architectural interiors, and since this camera will likely be more useful than an X1 for less money, they think it's an interesting idea. 😉

Because it's tiresome to have the same people bleating the same things over and over again, every time something happens in the industry.

If you want a manual focus rangefinder, buy an r-d1, an m8 or an m9. They're out now and they're available new. You can buy what you so badly desire, so why hang around threads and drone on about it over and over again?

If I want a car with a boxer configuration motor I don't go to toyota meet days and drone on about how they should put a boxer motor in their cars, I go and buy a subaru with a boxer motor and shut up.

I really don't even know what an X1 is, and I guess you agree most buyers will get it hoping better images will come as promotional videos offer... Again: a few of us on RFF and our personal visions don't represent the niche that camera is aimed at... We are more experienced than potential buyers are... If Fuji sells it for $1800, some RFF dreamers could keep dreaming it's close to the M9 they don't own, but world sales would be minimal... I guess it will be closer to $1000... And if Fuji sells it below $1000, they'd be doing it very well...

Cheers,

Juan
 
No thats Cool Juan, it wasn't directed at you, more the repetition of the whole manual focus and scale on the lens thing. It's pretty much been repeated every page of the thread.
