Well-known
amen paul, couldnt agree more. good time to be a FF digital fan me'thinks...
Live up to what?
the point wasnt nikon vs canon. the point was compact full frame vs compact crop factor at similar price points
The hype. I realize there were a few words in between "it" and "hype" but it seemed to make sense reading it. Let me rephrase for you, to avoid confusion:
"Seems like a lot of folks got one and aren't in love with it. There was a lot of hype about it and frankly, from a non-user, it seems like it didn't quite live up to it [the hype]."
The various claims about the sensor's superiority to FF bodies from Canikon were absurd to me.
It's a good camera, but it didn't seem to excel in any one way.

Be realistic ... it hasn't lived up to it's hype which isn't to say there's anything wrong with it!
Fuji were way over the top with their hype preceeding the release of the X100 but luckily the camera came very close, most people loved the thing ... I don't think the Xpro has quite managed to do this.
I think the guys at Fuji (Fuji Guys! 😛 ) need to calm down a little and stop over selling their product. In the long run it will be detrimental to their credibility IMO.
I'm not bagging the camera John but I do think they didn't quite 'kick a goal' with the Xpro in quite the same way they did with the X100.
Fair enough and that makes more sense. I guess I'm just sensitive because I really like the camera. 🙂
Take it from a user. It is a brilliant camera. Looking forward to picking up a second body at a reduced price soon. 🙂
Obsolete? Really
Fuji seems to be a lot more concerned about existing camera owners than most of the competition.
The x100 had a couple of terrific firmware upgrades this year.
The Xpro-1 will have an upgrade that is expected to match all of the features in the xe-1 except hardware (evf resolution and built in diopter).
I'm not seeing that kind of help on a regular basis from anyone else...
That was quick. Fuji made their top camera obsolete in less than a year.😱
Well, I have to say that I appreciate your being willing to not let things escalate. I'm sorry if I was harsh before, but I hate posting on a thread only to have someone pick apart my post and focus on one phrase, out of context.
It's not like I'm running for president 😛
