I saw online the photos taken at very high ISO using the new Fuji X Pro1 (or some such). I am not sure if it is better than the performance of any APS-C camera (as Fuji claims), but it surely looks a lot better than the performance of my D300. I would certainly like to play with one of these for a while and perhaps it is an alternative both in terms of size AND low light performance for me. I just want to see how I feel about the viewfinder and the controls. The lens collection is sparse but tolerable. The primes cover 24, 50 and 90 mm (35 equiv) and they are bright enough. Each lens is about 150 g (!).

Exciting time then! I'd love to hear your thoughts and findings as you engage, Pavel. (I'd have thought those 3 focal lengths would be just right).

Might be worth playing with the X100 if you can get your hands on it, as I think the controls and the EVF will be similar.

My brother recently got one, he's rapt with the image quality. I think the only thing he's less than impressed about is the AF speed. Compared to his wife's GX1, it's a tortoise.

By the way, some sample X1 images here:

By the way, pricing is in - $1700 buckaroos!

$1700 – body only. And about $600 per lens after that.

But if it's as good as it could be…

Everyone has different needs, wants and bank accounts.

For me the point of diminoshing returns is well below that for this system.
