New to X-Pro - common issues?!

Chris, you're blowing this out of all proportion.  I know you probably think I'm attacking your beloved camera but I'm really not.  Throughout, I said I enjoy the camera.  I said jpegs are excellent.  I did say raw conversions weren't great but that's about it on the negative front!  I even pointed out that the images I posted were intentionally exaggerating the situation and although the blemishes could be seen on real world images they are easily corrected in PP.

I was only inquiring about whether what I was seeing was to be expected. And as you seem to be obsessed with whether others have seen similar things, here's yet another link for you - an Amazon review where someone had 2 new copies of the camera and both had similar issues: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2EDH1F3K2NESP/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp.  And really, although there are more out there that is the last I'm giving you.

When you've had a chance to calm down (perhaps tomorrow after you've slept on it), I would suggest reading the entire thread again.  Look not only at your replies to me, but the others you have 'attacked' on this thread.  And then look at your posts on other threads.  You're promoting yourself as a professional photographer - just imagine if any potential clients research you and see what you're like.  Goodness gracious me!
