I guess it is as much market trend as it is consumer demand that generally people see the need to change cameras as they go along. I'm happy with X-Pro1 and I bought it as a keeper. It would be nice to have CC on something I intend to keep for a while. Right now I'm a happy camper. If Fujifilm adds CC to older cameras, I'd be a very happy camper. I agree with you that CC will not make a bad pic good but it may make a good pic, outstanding. It's just nice to have options to play around with.

Yeah....rub it in...

I fully agree. As it is, I'm looking at the X-Pro2 when it comes.

Beautiful pics! Makes mine look "pale" in comparison.

I think the up and coming 16mm F1.4R would be a stellar street photography lens. If you can wait and don't mind spending that $$$ on it. It will be hard to beat on any level and it'll be a lens you'll want to keep for life.

I really don't think there's much difference between x-trans 1 and x-trans 2 except for a slight repositioning of their pixel arrangements and AF detection. I've been to their product seminar and briefings and when I posed to them this question, there's always this squint with a very generic answer that implies very little has changed. Also, film simulation does not happen on the sensor. The sensor outputs raw files which then get converted to jpeg, simulated. So, it is software algorithm which is applied to the files. If anything it happens in the processing engines. Fujifilm knows colors very well. If they wanted to, they can easily do it. They same guy who was in charge of their film formulation is in charge of their digital color formulation currently. When probed further, the Japanese chief engineers will always say, "ummmm...maybe later, not so soon". But they never said no or that it could not be done on x-trans 1. That's the thing, if "the future of LEICAs is in Fujifilm's X System" then Fujifilm shouldn't jump into the 3 year obsolete regime that's killing so many other camera companies.....killing themselves that is.

Depends on which lens you already have on your X-Pro1. The X100s is a superb all rounder and perfect for street photography.
-
Actually, on the X-Pro1 there's been really one major firmware update to address it's sluggish AF. The rest are updates to get rid of bugs which weren't supposed to be there in the first place. Asking for Classic Chrome, which I believe is a software plug in, isn't too much to ask for a flagship camera like the X-Pro1.
-
If I can have only one lens, the XF35 F1.4 would be it. Color, sharpness and bokeh is just brilliantly balanced.
-
I own the X-Pro1 and have been waiting for Classic Chrome..... By the time an update arrives, it'll be for an X-Pro2!

Am glad to be here. My first contribution Taken with the 56F1.2.
