  • Next step, X PRO2 should be a full frame sensor.

  • I’d love 35mm equivalent sensor as @JC mentions, but APS-C or FF, it won’t matter for someone like me who will not buy Fuji glass. I have my own lenses and am looking for a mirrorless camera to replace my SLR/DSLR combo for when not at work.

    My lenses are all L39 lenses and one M lens.

    The current support for manual focus lenses is poor. Fuji would do themselves great favours by incorporating rangefinder emulation in software (overlay of two images) which can be done pretty easily.

    That, or have only a select (or the selected) portion of an image expand to 100% or 200% in the hybrid viewfinder.

    Focus peaking implies too much use of the EVF – too much as to get in the way, as to make the optical viewfinder useless. Implement it to make certain users happy. Implement a software rangefinder to make real use of the current hybrid viewfinder.

    Currently, using the EVF for 100% is horrible. I want to use the optical viewfinder. I use it all the time with my Canon P. It is natural. Replacing its functionality with poor quality EVF refresh rates, frame blackout, 100% coverage instead of the more natural window approach, is poor form.

    The current X Pro 1 would be in my hands and the hands of a number of other users who have been waiting for an updated RD-1 or poor man’s Leica for some time. Fuji have the power, the ability, just not the grace to implement a nice amalgamation of hybrid viewfinder for manual lens users.

    Apart from that, the viewfinder is too small. It has tunnel vision like my wife’s D5000. It needs to be bright on both ends and larger. It’s 2012, not 1930 – no reason for such squinty technology.

    Put in a 100% finder ala Canon P or Voigtlander R3 PLUS the software rangefinder, and you have made the single best portable camera in the world.

  • dont care about FF or not,
    just fix the AF and real MF
