When I see how many X-M1's are available on ebay and in stock everywhere I get the impression that it is not a huge succes. Won't take long before they will be $499 body and $599 with lens.

I don't know. I am enjoying mine very well. I came from Canon 40D with 17-40L lens before I sold them few years ago. It's a fun camera for sure and gives me Amazing result ! I use Fujinon XC 16-50 f/3.5 - 5.6 lens.

Hi, i tried an X-M1 in a local camera store, i thought that it felt and looked like a nice camera, the focus was good with the 16-50. My biggest gripe was the two control dials were very close to each other and made my fingers all scrunched up around the camera. I also used the Ricoh GR on the same visit and the control dials on that were much better placed. The assistants said the fuji X-E1 has been getting a lot of attention and has been selling well and they had high hopes for the little X-M1, hope it works out for them. I guess its just another choice for consumers. The price will inevitably fall at some point, most probably in Nov ready for the xmas buying period.

Give Fuji a break - the XM1 has only been out for five minutes. At least it's available. I would have thought that healthy stocks are evidence of well planned supply early in the life of a model. Surely it's a tad early to start making "failure" calls......

I couldn't agree more about the awkward position between the two control dials. Looking forward to buy 35 1.4 in few weeks time !

I think that's by design - the X-M1 was designed for the mass market - manufacturing has been moved out of Japan into one of those mass volume factories - same for the kit lenses - think its made in China.
For the X-M1 its a success - no more unfulfilled orders.

If everything avbailable on eBay is a failure we need to shut down the world.

I think he's talking about when he can afford the 35, not the 23.

That zoom, like the Leica X Vario's, looks pretty good from here - those are tasty shots.Alexander Barus wrote:

Oh yes. thought about 23 1.4 but have been shooting by set the zoom ring at 35 mm and it suits my style. 23 1.4 would be a bit wider for my taste although I have my iPhone to compliment it. So yes, will go for 35 1.4

Thank you mate. Love what this sensor can do. While shooting on a fine weather, I set the color at Velvia and shoot it with Aperture Priority between 5.6 and 8 most of the time. With Fine OOC JPEG, I did a very minimum adjusted on Levels with no colour or sharpness adjustment at all. Haven't try RAW yet.57LowRider wrote:

I'm pretty sure someone posts this thread, or a variation of it, for every product release from Fuji.
