nice choice.
for me i need the grip as i have big hands, so the grip fits very nicely to my own needs.
i will probably remove the L bracket as i rarely shoot in portrait mode, although the bracket also adds protection to the body.

haha no harm leaving it there.
thanks for the link, my friend was interested in getting the gripped RRS L bracket for the xpro1, notice they have it too.
so quiet in this forum, even worse in the X-Pro1. looks like many are selling their sets in favour of X100S, great bargains in bns now.
although the X100S is a fantastic cam, i would still prefer using the X-E1 as a main cam due to its versatility of interchangeable lenses. with upcoming focus-peaking feature, this cam will still be hard to beat.

True..
I am still holding on to my XE1..
In terms of IQ not much diff from the X100s..
And I really love the 35mm lens..
But currently it is neglected cause I got the Ricoh GR recently and i love the portability..
IQ wise I still very much prefer the Fuji..

D IQ from d xf35 on d x-e1 is amazing. X100s still can't match tat.
Indeed. At the current prices, the itch for either the X-Pro1 or X-E1 is back. Now the brain racking part of deciding which body to go for. The upcoming improvement in auto focusing speed is another big draw

I sold away my X-Pro1 then bought a silver X-E1 at bns, needed the built-in flash and diopter adjustment on the evf. The smaller and lighter body is also an advantage, plus being able to use wireless remotes, although I still miss the ovf and the higher resolution on the X-Pro1's LCD.
Let's see what surprises Fujifilm has in store for us with the "X-Pro2" and "X-E2" by end of this year, hopefully earlier. Can't wait to get my hands in one of them.

Agree azzurri should get both. I switched from M4/3 to APS-C, although focusing speed for fuji slower but with no regret. I also sold some of my DSLR lens to fund for Fuji lens purchase.
Hope to see more people joining the Fuji camp.
I noticed that Artworkfoto's website shows $1490 brand new set for both X-E1+18-55mm and X-E1+35mm, probably even lower at the popular shops, yet people are selling above that for used sets. They are probably unaware of the price drop. I can feel their pain.
It looks like Fujifilm (and even Sony) cams cannot hold their resale value as good as Big Brothers Canon and Nikon. Let's hope that changes once Fujifilm expands its market.

Lens are holding well at $600+ though. Once new x-m1 out, there will be more demand for lens.
$1490 for parallel import is not really a good deal right? no local warranty and any freebies.
I got the kit at $1788 and it comes with $100 off lens, the fuji leather half case, dry box, extra battery. The freebies are worth around $300... All the freebies are useful to me as I got the 14mm, loved the fuji leather half case.

I didn't realize that those are parallel import sets with no freebies, probably only with shop warranty which is not really reliable. Yes you are right, not really a bargain, and local sets would still be preferred by most.

All the poison! Lol. I think I will eventually get the X-Pro 1. The viewfinder is quite important to me. Seeing an LCD just sent the same. Slow autofocus isn't a deal killer. I just need accurate autofocus. After all, my main cameras are mainly manual focus cameras so any autofocus is definitely faster. Lol
How much and where u got for kit and 14mm. I just sold off my d800 still undecide to buy second hand or new.
there are a couple of minty bodies for sale now at bns, mostly just a few months old at very attractive prices. i would buy there if i were you, and the money saved can be used to top up to buy a brand new 14mm.
in fact am thinking of getting a second black body at bns, as backup to my silver one. really tempting.;D

been watching the trend at bns, it appears the X-E1 sets are being snapped up now, i suspect partly due to the upcoming firmware update with focus peaking and faster af. this should also help to hold the resale value.
way to go, Fujifilm! hope this entices more users to join the camp.
