[Leica] How about that X-Pro 2? David Alan Harvey's new camera

[gerry.walden at icloud.com (Gerry Walden)]

I cannot comment on the X-Pro2 because I haven?t used one (of course) but I 
can, as a Fuji X-World photographer, comment on the X-Pro1. The X-Pro1 is a 
superb camera which has a few drawbacks:

1. The inaccuracy of the viewfinder;

2. The fact that I had trouble for some reason getting images through the QC 
process at Alamy; 

3. I lost 80% of its value in the 3 years I owned it; and

4. It is not a Leica.

As most of you know I now have a Leica M9 which I am very happy with. This 
has the following advantages:

1. The viewfinder is very accurate;

2. Every image I have submitted to Alamy from the camera has sailed through 
QC;

3. I bought it second hand so it shouldn?t lose anywhere near 80% of its 
value in 3 years; and

4. It is a Leica.

Now, the X-Pro2 may have addressed the viewfinder problem, the Alamy 
problem, the price drop problem but it still won?t be a Leica.
