It's a very expensive "2nd" camera for serious photographers so a lot of people prolly offer them up if they need cash. It's also a difficult camera to get the most out of. It challenges you to really learn it's strengths and weaknesses.
Personally I'm sort of annoyed about the XE-1. It's 95% a Pro1 and way cheaper. My pro1 is not weather sealed, does not have a longer lasting battery, does not AF faster, does feel better in my hands, but that's it. I might have waited had I known I could have saved a bunch of money. I'm also personally finding the OVF useless without some digital way of manually focusing. I wish they would develop a digital split image that works with the heads up display of the OVF or something like it.
For now I think the Pro2 is gonna kill it. It's obviously going to have phase detect on sensor and then we'll get that ridiculous AF that people complain about not having. Personally with the current firmware I think the AF is more than fine, but whatever I'll take improvements too. If they improve the battery, seal it, add phase detect, then MAYBE it can finally be a true replacement for a DSLR.
If you're patient with the camera you can get a lot more out of it, but that requires, ya know, patience.
