  1. Slightly off topic but this supports my feeling that the proposed touch screen is not a feature that users really want as they hardly or never dive into menus. Yes I know you can touch focus and shoot, but that is not in the ethos of of the Fuji spirit; an enthusiasts platform. My 2 cents
  2. I would agree. If only street then X100. Also good for 75% of travel use too. I love my XT but will be waiting to go back to the x100 as soon as they update with Pro guts
  3. Nice to see you took the drive out to the Cemetery. An amazing place to shoot. I had great clouds the day I was there.
  4. I have put a little thought into this and trying to be as pragmatic as I can. I would truly like to see a FF camera from Fuji. But the reasons are not all that technical. Where I see Fuji using FF is only in the X100 line (at first) I feel that that line was well positioned to be a major alternative to Leica and its success shows they were right. The economics of a slight redesign of the body to accommodate size and development of "one" awesome lens seem to justify this move. The idea of a MF is just to niche for any significant profits. There is very little chance of pulling sales from other lines as well. There is a builtin user base that will upgrade and sidelined base that will adopt. Lastly, I feel users know the X100 as the test platform for the other lines and this move will be easily accepted. It all points to low risk, good profit and steady progression. For those that look to how well the XTrans performs, you are right. And as ZA has noted there is very little of a jump from the current platform to FF. That said, in consumer products it is very rare that a company will make a quantum leap in technology. Look at Autos, clothing or Cell Phones and 100s of other segments, they all move in small steps. Save the organic sensor for the X-Pro line and you will get more folks buying two cameras Not that everyone wants to shell out more $$$ but this is about Fuji as a business.
