It's still missing focus peaking and face-detect AF for me, but I'm considering it. Will have to test drive it first, though. True there aren't that many lenses, but they have the most important one for me, 35mm f/1.4, which I'd use 95% of the time. I can wait for whatever else they're designing by using my K-mount lenses on it. My biggest gripe is the lack of good Adobe support for the RAW files. All that said, I think this is going to be Fuji's big success. Cheers, --M. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

Re: OT Fuji XE-1
My feelings as well. Fuji makes nice stuff that makes nice images. But there are always quirks and you pay top dollar. I have the cheapest one, the X-10.

Re: OT Fuji XE-1
That interest didn't last long. There are only a very few lenses for this and each one is $600 in Canada. The sensor sounds pretty cool, but not unlike the Sigma, this camera has lots of flaws like P&S level slowness of AF and other operations. Back to waiting for the K-3.
