Fujifilm updates firmware for X-Pro1, X-E1 and XF 35mm F1.4 R lens

I value IQ over the speed of AF - it's the photograph I'm after not the medal in speed of AF

And what if you miss 50% of the shots due to slow AF and not usable MF? doh...

Agreeeeeeeed.

why does it matter so much? M mode all the way ;)

If Fuji like any good Japanese company follows the whole Monozukuri principles then it is likely they won't a) listen & b) just release a hardware upgrade because software isn't really all that important :) and they can make more money releasing a hardware upgraded version with many features that could be achieved in software also likely to c) because their programmers are inept and or d) management is backwards and not interested in listening to the programmers of the consumers.

Either way - this is as good as it will get until the X Pro 1s comes out ....

@hexxthalion: M works with Auto ISO untill you run into overexposure at the set shutter speed. That's a hack but not a solution ;)

@LetsDoTheStapler: That is how Apple would do it, but Fuji has been seriously updationg and adding features to their X-Cameras. That is why so many users are unhappy about the omission of this particular feature.

Well apple is still effectively supporting the iPhone 3GS with software updates, apple whilst bringing In new hardware it's IOS system and many new features still work on previous models (where possible of available)

Fuji might be seriously updating but seem to neglecting some very very very basic requests.

@LetsDoTheStapler: While Apple is still supporting the 3GS, most of the new features can't be used on it. Same with AirPlay mirroring from a Mac to your Apple TV in Mountain Lion if it is not at least a 2011 model Mac. While Apple reasons it is due to hardware speed limitations the App "AirParrot" even let's my 2008 iMac stream (mirror) to my Apple TV...

And why was my iPad1 not supported in iOS updates after 2 years any more? It was too old? Never mind new features, but I would love to get at least security fixes patched...

@ChrisChan: I am not quite sure if I get what you are saying, but I too shoot 95% of the time in Aperture priority mode to controll DOF. But I also use Auto ISO up to 6400 to get decent non blurry sutter times. But with the 18mm lens I am limited to 1/30s. That is fine for landscapes but not for people photography. I would like to limit to 1/125 at the cost of a higher ISO value choosen by the X-Pro 1.
