All seems good so far Jonathan just been reading the manual for a few fine points but have got the hang of it. I'm impressed with how clean it is at 6400 ISO.
All I need now is for this rain to stop so I get out and have a good play with it.

How do you rate the v1 compared to the Fuji?

Different but IQ is not near the Fujis!

Which lens did you get with it?
All are good but the 35 f1.4 is a very sharp lens.

I just got the 16-50 zoom at the moment and for the cheaper end of the fuji lenses it's sharp. I am finding I have very little to do to the files and jpeg's are good sotc.

I'll invest in some better lenses later the 35 f1.4 being one of them.

Iain-

You will grow to love that camera...not quite pocketable like the x100 but more versatile and feels like it was made for your hand :-)

Enjoy

Tom

Beginning to get there already Tom. If I didn't need the big fast stuff for what sport I do and wildlife I'd be looking at a xt1 as well.

I am the same opinion with regard to the XT. However, having recently handled a new Sony mirror less model, I am of the opinion the Fuji VF is no longer that good! The Sony VF is brighter, more natural colour rendition (especially in artificial light) and with less digital interference.

It will be interesting to see what the next Fuji VF is like!

I havent used the Sony but I do know the lens range is pretty crappy.
One thing I hate about Sony is that they seem to frefer to release a new/replacement model rather than fix a small camera fault that Fuji or Nikon would fix via firmware.
On these two critical items I would not buy Sony even though their camera specifications always look incredible.
IMHO The best small format system is the Olympus EMD5 as it has great specs, performance and lens range but unfortunately it is crippled by the use of the 4/3 sensor which I think is too small for professional and commercial work where you may be asked to make an A0 poster from a crop of an image. Such a shame!

I think there will be an XPro2 or XE3 and possibly an XT2 announced/released in February 2015 and hopefully this will have 24MP in a similarly small camera.
I need only the 140-400mm and possibly the 10-24mm to complete my lens range.
If the new Fujis that come in 2015 can match closely the AF performance of my Nikons then I am afraid to say that I will let most of my Nikon kit go. Nikon seem to have missed the mirrorless APS-C boat as well as the DSLR DX pro-body boat!!

I'm only a week or so into Fuji ownership and to be honest with the 140-400mm lens and if they bring the AF up to Nikon/Canon standard I'll be thinking of switching over as well.
