X-E1 is what X-Pro1 should have been

You mean it´s what you personally would have liked it to be. I´d rather take the OVF over fast AF which is something I rarely if ever need and I don´t want a camera that´s smaller than the X Pro. It´s no bigger than my film rangefinders and smaller than DSLR´s I´ve used - perfect size to have decent exterior controls without being fiddly IMO. Seriously if the X-E1 was all that was on offer instead of saving up for the X-Pro I´d have got the new Oly instead....
