This is my personal "Fuji X roadmap". It includes steps I've already taken, what I'm waiting for and dreams for the future.
--------
A look back (what I've already acquired in historical order of purchase):
1. Fujifilm Finepix X100 with WLC-X100 and original Fuji X100 leather case
For this I traded in almost all of my m43 gear (I don't have any m43 gear left to date).
I also acquired third party hood for the X100 lens. And spare battery off course.
2. Fujifilm X-E1 with XF18-55 lens and original leather half case
For this I traded only the Nikkor 18-105 kit lens from my Nikon D7000 package. I paid a little more for the X-E1 kit.
I have added a spare battery as well.
3. Fujinon XF18 f2 lens
This I just bought without a trade in.
-------
To this day I have only used the X-E1 mostly with the XF18 but sometimes also with the zoom lens. The reason is that I've save the shutter counts on the X100 (for the trade in to X100S) and that (to my eyes) the X trans sensor provides sharper and better pictures than the X100 sensor does, and better low light capabilities too with the X trans.
-------
Preorders I'm waiting on:
1. Fujifilm Finepix X100S
I'm going to use my current X100 accessories with the X100S as the bodies are the same.
Lens hood, leather case, spare battery etc.
So no more purchases needed for the X100S.
I'm going to trade in my current X100 and my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 50 1.8G lens for the X100S.
2. Lance Non-adjust Neck Strap, black with orange rings, 48 inches, O-Ring Strap Bumpers - *2 for my X-E1 and my upcoming X100S
(Not strictly Fuji stuff but nice indeed coupled with the X cams)
I just don't like the original Fuji camera straps. My X cameras lives on my body as I see them almost as a part of my body... Without them it is like having no hands! And I need as comfortable and practical straps as possible. I am going to try out the Lance straps as they were quite cheap to purchase.
It is going to take about 2 weeks to get them here (Finland) from USA... So patience is required from my part as with the X100S wait.
-------
Future purchases (that I dream of already):
- Fuji X-Pro2 or X-Pro1S (or whatever it will be named)
Want to try out the top model in the Fuji line in the future but not the X-Pro1 as it is to close to my already excellent X-E1. Going to wait for the second generation X trans here (as the X100S).
I think that I'll hold on to my X-E1 and use that as my backup for the X-Pro2 in the future. And keep the X100S as my silent and most compact high IQ solution.
- XF55-200 telephoto lens
To get my telephoto kick.
-------
This is my roadmap so far; already concluded steps, preorders and wishful fantasies for the future.
It is nice to be in the Fuji camp
