Get a camera bag ... or wait until someone knocks your gear off the table.

The problem with buying a secondhand digital camera is that it needs being tested in general and in particular for hot or dead or otherwise white pixels and for dust, oil spots on the sensor.
True. Which is why you need to pick up the camera in person, and should bring a laptop (with a card reader) with you.
I agree with you that buying without having the chance to inspect it first is risky with electronics. You were right not to buy that X-Pro1, I believe.
OTOH; when I bought my Canon 5D in 2010, I paid €800. I sold it again last month for €300. So that camera cost me about €100 per year, which probably is much lower than if I had bought it new.
So while buying used is somewhat riskier, it's also cheaper in the long term, in my opinion.

Won't be getting the X Pro 2 at launch. Will wait for the price drop

For those who love knocking, there are filter-mountable rubber lens hoods, branded and nonames, straight and collapsible, even allowing to add filter in front of.
I used such rubber lens hoods long ago ... worked very well, but eventually the rubber hood would crack.
But I think it saved the front element of my Zeiss Sonnar 135mm back then!

the X-T1 and 10 are certainly improvements
Ik kom hem wel een keertje bij je proberen als dat mag

Wouldn’t know why the EVF should dive you problems causing you headaches, other than it is not a “ still” picture but like any video it is a sequence of images.
I suspect it's the different light; I especially noticed it after my latest surgery. Caveat; I never tried the X-T1 or X-E2 EVFs beyond testing in a camera shop. My understanding is that they are a definite improvement over the X-Pro1 EVF.

May be my eyes indeed, but I'm fine with the X-Pro1 OVF. However, the EVF gives me a headache over time. I use both with glasses, so it shouldn't be the diopter.I am sorry for you

really? I thought it was “ not really... but it looks so cool"
With my eyes, nothing beats looking through real glass.

Simple answer to your question: yes.

If yours is a X-E1, I'd like to know the trickMine does.
(sent from my Clevo W150HR using Thunderbird 43.0b1, I guess...)
Edit: it does work indeed, via the eye sensor, but I'd like a dedicated button for the info display.

I had a chat with a Calumet salesperson while I was there, and he told me that they had taken in a relatively high number of Fuji cameras for warranty repairs, compared to other brands. Fortunately the Fuji service, at least in Germany, is good.

Good grief ... 9 pages to get to here. Nobody will care what the guesses are by now.
I'm not a fan of the whole rumour thing anyway. But this is a Fuji forum, has members from all over the world, and supports Tapatalk

I'd love when the Fuji cameras would allow to display the settings screen on the LCD display while using the EVF. I don't need to see the image on there (except for some macro shots where the camera is close to the ground), but it's nice to have a quick overview of the camera settings (like the AF point and such).

Looking for a lens to get 'real' 35mm
in Adapting lenses to Fuji X

There is not that much difference between a 35mm and 40mm FOV, in my opinion, and the 27/2.8 is an optically very good lens. It's very small as well, and can easily be found for a good price.
