Quite ex.
Got it with a discount when i purchase the whole set. Think around $16+.
But the down side is it covers the battery compartment.
Fuji X-E1 and new compact coming!

It might be worth waiting for 3rd party case to act as grips.
I've the X-Pro1 and use a 3rd party case and it's an improvement to it without the grip, and it doesn't cover the battery/card slot.

Personally, I think the X-E1 is an incredible deal for the money considering the image quality.

waiting for some new xe1 owners to share pics... 
Pictures of the XE-1 or pictures taken from XE-1? Haha....
Picture from XE-1 will be the same as the X-Pro1 as it is exactly the same sensor. After having X-Pro1 and Nex 7, and finally back to XE-1. IQ from this superb sensor is so clean and sharp that can never get used to Nex 7 or other camera with obvious noise.

Was a X100LE user as well too, and really liked the size and silent shooting besides the wonderful IQ.
Also tried a X-pro1 later on, which the IQ is even better with choice of changing lenses (though the superb 35mm f1.4 is always on the body), but find it quite a lot bigger than X100, which makes me to hope for a X200, hopefully with the same sensor of X-pro1 built into the X200, yet with size of the X100.
Then when XE-1 came, it is the best of both worlds for me. Slightly bigger than X100, yet with the same sensor of X-Pro1 without AA filter. So you can guess what colour of the XE-1 that I bought. Black! Similar look, just bigger lens than X100LE.

According to this reviewer, he feels that Fujifilm could have improved the jpeg engine even further in the X-E1, giving even more insane hi-ISO results. This improvement could also have been added in the firmware v2.0 for X-pro1.

my main concern with the xe1 is the battery life - given that it uses the same exact battery as the xp1 (np-w126).
on my xp1 I shoot in ovf around 90% of the time; even with 'auto image review' turned off and limited 'chimping' i seldom get more than 200+ images on a single batt.
wonder how the evf-only xe1 will cope.

Have you seen anyone fitting the Flipbac angle viewer to the X-E1 2.8" LCD? I know it can be fitted onto the 3" inch LCD of X-pro 1.

100% crop of the above picture..
plenty sharp :thumbsup:
just wanna share some quick OOC snap shots..
in terms of IQ it is as impressive as the X-Pro1..
you will have difficulties trying to separate which is taken by X-Pro1 or X-E1
however..
not sure if it is a placebo effect but i find the AF a tad faster that X-Pro1 and less hunting in low light.. :dunno:

i am waiting for the Gariz case with the cut-outs for the battery/card slots..
X-E1 is more value for $..
it took me sometime to consider if i should sell the X-Pro1 to get the X-E1..
especially when i really enjoy using the OVF.. ( i use OVF 90% of the time)..
but someone came and offered to buy my X-Pro1..
with the money i got from the sale of X-Pro1 + $200..
i managed to squeeze in a X-E1 body + 60mm macro..
:thumbsup:

i updated my X-Pro1 to firmware 2.0..
but somehow the X-E1 felt just abit faster..
that's why i mentioned not sure if its a placebo..
we usually assume newer product = better product..

On the XP1, the OVF is slower than the EVF also.
