FWIW. Having had an XPro1 since early Jan I agree with most of what the 
reviewer
says. They are very good. At least comparable to a Leica IMHO (don't flame 
me).
I can use my M and LTM lenses on them with decent results (even a 
Jupiter!)and I
have a good quality zoom lens in a package which makes my camera bag feel 
empty!

Would I shoot Leica again. OF COURSE, YES! and when I can I will. It is like 
no
other camera or system. But I can't afford the cash cost of a comparable 
digital
M, and the overall cost of getting film, processing and building a good 
workflow
isn't merited by someone who, like me is only a serious amateur.*

* PS Yes I have discussed the costs - and photographic merits - with SWMBO

PPS All serious suggestions welcome.

PPPS No, nothing quite beats shooting film.
