I am getting the XE-1. It does not have focus confirmation. I think that is
in the just released X100s (fixed, 35mm lens) and hopefully included in the
next XE-1 or X-Pro models. I'm interested in checking out how being able to
zoom in with the EVF to check focus is going to practically work. Zoomed in
you don't see the full framing. Do I have to press a button to zoom out,
then frame and shoot? If so, bye bye decisive moment...
