Frankly, with the 40 mp sensor and OIS on an X100, the X-Pro line is superfluous. Discontinue it.

How so? That’s ridiculous.

It’s not ridiculous, I see uniball’s point. 40mp is enough that you can crop in aggressively and still end up with a high resolution image that would be acceptable for most uses. Fuji are likely to promote the in camera “digital teleconverter” in the next 40mp X100 quite heavily as an alternative to using an ILC at all.

Perhaps they’ll even fit a wider lens and crop in slightly for 23mm? There are some interesting possibilities..

Awww, he’s back again to tell me I’m wrong. It warms my heart.

For some reason, my heart remains completely unwarmed.  How about just accepting the difference of opinion, move on and bag the snarky remarks, OK?
