Dawid,
I am not afraid to disagree with you about the viewfinder ;-), I like it
and prefer it to the OM-D version although I wish the EVF was as quick
as the OM-D's, The OVF is great, compose wait for green rectangle t
confirm focus and click.
I am not finding too much problem with focussing but that will depend
upon use, I feel that I am getting more keepers than with my canyon 5D2
and although the OM-D is nice to use (my wife has one) I prefer my
X-pro1 and I dispute the fact they got it so wrong, quirky yes but a
failure no, I will say though that the learning curve at the begining
is steeper than other cameras but then to compensate it's also a much
shorter one ;-).
And for the most important bit the lenses and sensor are giving me the
results I like. I hope to post some more shots from it soon. The actual
best bit though is finally I am no longer interested in the next system
because like my car, watch, motorcycle, aerostitch, macbook etc.. I have
the best possible fit for me, well I have grown a slight bit for the 20
year old 'stitch ;-) but it still does the job and now I can concentrate
on just taking photos if you see what I mean.
One person's manure is another person's gold !
