  1.  

     

    ... One thing we should not forget is that the M1 uses a P-A-S dial. The learning curve will be faster for the M1.

    Really? Would that make a real difference? I think that a separate shutter speed and aperture dial (plus an A setting on both) is far more intuitive?

  2. Fujifilm would gain a more positive word of mouth. Alot of x100 owners feel short changed compared to Fujifilms other camera models because the x100 models have never received any Kaizen love.

     

    Also, as flysurfer stated, it would boost sales until the x200 sees the day of light.

     

    I think it's a trade-off between marketing and sales gain, and available development resources. Reading Flysurfer, it's questionable how much capacity Fujifilm currently have for updating the firmware for a niche model.

     

    If Fujifilm wants to stay a main player in the fixed lens premium camera market, then it may be worth the effort indeed. Otherwise, the energy is probably better spent elsewhere.

     

    I don't know Fujifilm's strategy, but I guess that their main investments go into lenses and X-Tx / X-Prox cameras development.

  3. I always get a bit suspicious when someone claims that a product is "The Best!"

     

    The best for whom? Compared to what? On which criteria? Why discount that there likely is no "Best for everyone" product? What's the agenda?

     

    I believe that a product can be very good. I am struggling with believing that a product is "the best".

  4. It's been asked several times already. Fujifilm will have their reasons not to implement that feature.

     

    Your assumption that the Fujifilm developers don't go out into the "real world" is a bit over the top.

  5. I'm glad to live in Germany.

    Free loaners for everybody during the repair time (one only has to ask).

    And free one-time sensor cleaning by Fujifilm with every system camera purchase.

    And 2 years warranty.

    Indeed, Kleve is excellent. It sounds more like a Fujifilm USA issue to me than like a Fujifilm (as a global company) problem.

     

    When I, as an ordinary consumer, sent in my X-Pro1 for repair, I think my loaner camera was already delivered to me before my camera had reaches the service centre. Moreover, they were very responsive to emails and on the phone.

     

    That's good.

  6. Also, I think with the arrival of the X-Pro2 the updates for the X-Pro1 will stop and the next ones will only concern the newest camera.

    Functional updates already stopped a few months ago, I think. Unless Fujifilm is going to surprise us, but that's very unlikely.

     

    It's end of the road for the X-Pro1, but that's only a problem when you want something that the X-Pro1 cannot do now.
