Seriously considering upgrading from the XPRO1 to the XPRO2. The reviews I've read online have been solid, that it's quite an upgrade between the two as opposed to just an incremental increase. Particularly the AF sounds much improved, which is the main frustrating point for me when using the XPRO1. Anyone made the upgrade have any thoughts or just general insight into the XPRO2 would be appreciated.

I sold my XPro1, regretted it and bought the Xpro2. Which IMHO is amazing. The colour rendition is even better, and the high-ISO smearing that affects the X100T and similar-vintage Fujis with interchangeable lenses isn't there because of the higher sensor resolution. The autofocus isn't DSLR-fast but it's fast enough for street use, especially with the new weather-resistant f/2 lenses where the motor doesn't seem to have to push as much glass around. I've also been using mine with the 16mm a lot and it's been immensely satisfying.

Thanks for the info. Right, I think, maybe I'll take the plunge in upgrading to the XPro2 from my XPro1. But first, need to sell one before I buy one.
