Excellent write up Mike Cameras can feel like women sometimes (if you-re an addict!) Cheers!

Hi Mike –
Great writing and good work to back it up. I also have now sold my NEX7 and kept the Fuji (my first and only).

I use the OVF quite a lot lately, really love it, about 50%, framing is very loose, esp with the 18mm, it only shows about 80% – there is a lot more on “film” then you see and I also find it easier to acquire quicker focus in EVF mode on tricky subjects, the OVF rests at infinity until you half press the shutter, this action then corrects the parallax and also repositions the focus point, which means one has to reposition the camera and refocus, much less of a problem in EVF mode, not a deal breaker, love the camera more and more

Funny, my story is exactly the contrary… bought the Fuji… sold it and bought (with peace of mind and happyness) the Nex-7. regards

go with the XPro1 however, keep in mind you will get the best results using the EVF and rear LCD, I use the rangefinder in hyperfocal mode with the 18mm

If I save up for my next camera and I have a choice between the nex 7 and the fujifilm XPRO (don’t ask it’s my concept!) Which would you recommend to a photographer of 40 years that really loves rangefinders
