hey neil, if you do pick up an x100, i have a feeling your x10 will wind up the companion camera!

I just upgraded mine this morning and went shooting. What a difference! Focus peaking works great, start up time is faster, especially since I just bought a 95 mb sec extreme pro SD card. And the auto focus...big difference...seems like more than a 20% improvement to me. Anyway, the camera is even more of a joy to use now...really responsive now.
I switched to my OMD and snapped a few pics and I'll tell you...its faster to focus than the x100, but not by much now. The difference is certainly less noticeable now...
Amid the general euphoria over this update I'm a little underwhelmed after ten minutes of testing. I don't see a noticeable increase in AF speed. It was still a great camera even on v1.3 so I'm not complaining. Maybe I need to do more testing. Contrary to that video I still get the very slow macro focussing.

First off, kudos to Fuji for continuing to support not-new cameras!
Anyone else noticing a difference in close focus lock when using the EVF or back display versus the OVF? I am seeing great speed and success at close range when using the EVF, but not so much using the OVF (with auto AF/lines correction).
I'm with you Chip, on the AF speed. Doesn't feel a whole lot faster. EM5 is still much faster in my comparisons. BUT, the close distance focus using AF-S is much better now. AF lock performance is still better using EVF than OVF. Focus peaking is nice and MF is much better, but the shimmering needs to be stronger.
Overall, it was a nice upgrade. Thanks Fuji!
Very strange...I just now tested macro after reading your post. Mine is way faster! I mean mine use to hunt back and forth like crazy, now in macro mode, it's almost instant...something must be wrong. You should be seeing a big difference, something ain't right.
