I haven't decided yet. Right now I'm very happy with the X-Pro1. I also have the X100 for the times when I would bring the X2. That said, the X2 is ultralight and smaller... the X1 was a great camera to bring with you all day, everyday. Even more so than the X-100. The issue is that the X-Pro1 has made the M9 superflous for me (I think). I'd be smart to sell all of my leica stuff and put the cash in the bank...but maybe that X2's siren call will get the best of me. Sometimes I wish I didn't use the internet.

No X2 for me but I just acquired an almost brand new X1 (black one - matches my M6) for a crazy good deal with the Leica brightline finder both cases, and an extra battery.
yes, the auto focus is slow, but if I can get used to it, I will really like this camera. The few images I have taken with it have been rally outstanding...
My wife actually took this one... I processed it in PS.

I think I'm going to grab an X2 eventually. Dave, I'm going to sue you for $2000 for planting this into my head!

A couple more - just messing around. So far I'm digging the X1 and I have a couple of Canon DSLRS that don't excite me as much.

Congratulations on the X1 and tell your wife she rocks!
Oh, and best regards to the dog!

Have you seen the Portlandia skit called "put a bird on it"? I feel like that with vignettes.

He sits on Greta's gigantic bed. She was our black lab. we lost her about two months ago to lymphoma. Oreo, my wife and I have been pretty down from the loss of her. She was such a great dog and companion to Oreo.

I have wanted the X1 since it came out - but I couldn't pay 2k for it - got it for less than $700 including all the accessories, even the leica finder - I couldn't pass that up. I'm happy, happy. I figure worst case scenario I could probably sell it for more than that, but so far it's a keeper. A nice compact digital to go with us on trips. A nice replacement for my wife's digital elph of 2002ish...
Only day three with it so far. I'll try to put it through the paces this weekend if I have time. Got a new 16Gig Sd card for it last night from costco.

very nice shot! no post work?A quick snapshot while camping before Easter.
No effort at all...no post work...no flash...no sweat.
Since then, I have been working on some creative portraits and hope to post some decent images in the future.
Hopefully, I will be able to rise to this level:

Oops, sorry...nothing exposure or crop-wise.
Nothing other than adding a small vignette to complement the dark background.:angel:
