It's out of my price range.  I handled an X-10 and liked it a lot (and it 
wasn't too expensive).  Then came the X-20 and it seemed even better, but 
now, if I save up for an X-E1, I could have a bigger sensor and get to use 
my M lenses.  Does the OVF work with old, manual focus lenses?  If it 
doesn't, than it's no good to me.  I can just about buy an X-E1 body and M 
adapter, but not any Fuji lenses, and the X-Pro1 body+ adapter is $400 more.

And logically, I really should be using the money for a scanner, and not 
another camera.  ;~)
