The latest and greatest.

Congrats! I had the x-pro1 for about a year from when it was released. Absolutely loved the camera and had no idea why everybody complained about the AF. The AF-MF worked just fine for my use, even for birds in flight. Sold the camera because the first model wasnt that adapted to harsh conditions. But this one is, or so I heard. Miss the RAF-files and the wonderful JPEGs...

What's sorta funny, I was in my camera store the other day, the staff was visiting my website whilst I was looking at all the Nikons and Canons and stuff ... when it dawned on me that most likely everything in my website, I could have easily captured with Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Olympus, et al with equal success. Then it dawned on me that specific brands of hardware are rapidly becoming irrelevant and meaningless.

"specific brands of hardware are rapidly becoming irrelevant and meaningless"

Very true. At least until you try to put the stuff together ... Thus, yes, but stick to a given system at a time. Whatever that system might be.

For sure, there has newer been a special brand for hammers or screwdrivers in my toolbox; It's just a matter of picking the right size for the job at hand - One point is ofte though the case that if you need a big hammer on a mountain top you got to haul it up there,,,

well, knowing Fuji there will be 4-5 cameras coming out in the next 1-2 years based on the Xpro2 sensor 

[Tom Gresham]

I need good video as well as good stills.  Have three Fuji bodies and 5 Fuji lenses.  I'll be selling all and concentrating on the Sony A7 family.

Harmonizing with your equipment is the best way to increase your keeper rate.

Harmonizing with your equipment is the best way to increase your keeper rate.

Absolutely true, but to fully harmonise with your equipment you need to find a system you can connect with

A skilled photographer should be able to make any platform work but when there's an emotional connection with the used gear creativity can flow freely unhindered from any frustrations, big or small.

Whatever capabilities and features add up to connect is mostly subjective, besides the common things like built, button layout, size, ISO, IQ, sensor size, lens character, etc I like features like a metal camera body, metal lenses, aperture rings, etc to complete the picture, pun untended

I disagree. For the pro, creativity and skill and the need/desire to get the job done ... trumps equipment. The pros I know always manage to get the job done.  Harmonizing with the harware makes it easier ... But not harmonizing will not keep the pro from the exceptional image.

[Jan Anne]

Gary, I'm NOT a pro and far from professional with my images, nice gear I connect with makes me wanna shoot images and gear I don't connect with collects dust or is sold off.
