Glad to see sensor design follows the second law of thermodynamics.

In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

Yes we do. 
Anyway, its a well defined term in information theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)). As are dynamic range and SNR, BTW. Were both entropy and dynamic range are measured in bits.
As a side note, there are many more parallels between thermodynamics and information theory. For example, if a manufacturer wants to convince you that a camera with, say, 8bits output (as in a JPEG file) has a dynamic range of, say, 12 bits, he is selling you a "perpetuum mobile". Any camera comes to mind ?
Of course, if you prefer Fuji's marketing speak of "more random", carry on

I'm really tempted by the XP1 and everything I've read about it seems very encouraging, but there is already, one small niggle...
With Fuji lauding this as an option for Pro's, do you think it would have been too much to ask to make it environmentally sealed? And the lenses, of course?
I mean, they might very well be, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere, so I'm guessing not.
That would be the clincher for me, I think. Its quite miserable, weather wise, in the north of England for much of the year and I want to photograph in the rain and snow and hail with impunity, not have to hide my camera under my jacket, as I have to with my M8.2.

there has been lots of discussion about 'fuji x pro 1' sensor and it looking more grain (film) like.'
well I have been using full frame sensors like this for YEARS, hp5,delta 100, tmax ..............

Wouldn't just saying a larger and smaller repeating pattern be enough to describe the Bayer and Fuju sensor patterns.

In every thread dedicated to digital you get these posts where some die hard takes a minute out of their busy day to remind us all that they use and still like film ... and either points out that it is actually 'full frame' or has 'real grain!'
Well ... I'm off to the Maserati Forum to tell them about my new tractor!

may i ask, if the sensor is by sony, why i cant get results like the x100's on a sony? the rendering is totally different, why is that? does fuji have nothing to do with this fact? and did sony make the lens on the x100? or was that some other cam co.?

Didn't know Maserati made tractors!

I don't know about Maserati, but there is a Porsche tractor.

I am wondering if the X PRo will have a sensor clean function like the Nikon
DSLR have ?

Has some sort of sensor cleaning aid... not sure if its like Nikons.

Since the X-Pro-1 was designed from the start as an APS-C sensor camera rather then just sticking an APS-C sensor in a 35mm legacy body its every bit as much a full frame sensor camera as any 36x24mm camera. Just like 645, 6x6, 6x7. 4x5, 8x10, cameras are all full framed despite not being 35mm.
Hopefully the stupid term full frame will one day vanish and we'll return to just saying one format is smaller or larger then another.
So, are these fancy tractors status symbols?
