Well, I now that this question has been asked and answered several times - most seems to say that the X-Pro 1 is still a capable camera. My situation is, as I have stated in another thread in here, that I always wanted the X-Pro 1 because of the form factor. Since I have the OM-D System already I do not want to spend big money on another system too and it has always made more sense to stick with micro 4/3. I like it, but do not love it. I will keep my EM-1 for kids in action and rough conditions (light and temp).
For travel I got a GM1. Big mistake, way to small - but fine other than that.. So I was thinking again on the Fuji and that a used X-pro1 now should be possible to get reasonable priced. But still with a sharp prime (35 F 2.0 I think, maybe the 27 F2.8) it would still cost money and I would like to understand (if I can) if the X-Pro1, today, is an option I would be happy with. I would like to have it for a few years and prefer a interchangeable system for versatility in the future. Besides X100 cost the same as an X-Pro1 with a lens. At least not far from it!
So, autofocus is on question. Not too concerned if it struggles a bit in low light (although I prefer not), but is it snappy in good light? Compared to the Mu4/3s? Please consider the two lenses I mentioned above.
Another is the viewfinder. I like them and use only the viewfinder on my EM-1. X_Pro 1 is kinda old, but is the viewfinder good or is it more a curiosity?
With this I would shoot quite a bit monochrome and I like to use JPEGs for a couple of reasons. Is the X-Pro1 fine with that?
Of course, for the price of X-Pro1 + lens I could get another mu4/3 camera and I may still do that, but I like to have more than one camera type as options.
Sorry for the many questions, your input is very welcome!
