3 issues with your assessment of the X-Pro1. First, it absolutely does have an in-camera panorama mode. Go to the DRIVE menu and choose Panorama and follow the instructions. Second, you mention "short exposures" - the camera has a bulb mode that, with a very cheap, standard cable release can take very long exposures. Third, you mention, "very expensive", with a cost of over $2,600 - At most retailers (Amazon, B&H, Adorama, J&R, etc.) the body sells for $1,699 and the 18mm and 35mm lenses cost $599 each. Amazon will give you free shipping and no sales tax, for a total of $2,298 with one lens. Expensive? Perhaps, but your cost figure is off by over $300.

Amazing camera. Almost a perfect mirrorless. The only thing I would watch out for (try it in a store first!) is its auto focus speed, and also its own, new, lens system offering very few lenses. Those that are there seem to perform very well though, and more should be available in the future with adapters as well as Fujifilm's own forthcoming introductions, of course.

I personally own the X100 and I'm still happy with that one. I bought that in December, knowing this one was on the horizon. I personally believe that having a fixed lens on the camera is strangely liberating. There's no need to think about or worry whether that lens would be the best, since you have no choice. It gives me a bit of a peace of mind.

Still, I'd rather go with this X-Pro1 if I didn't already own a DSLR (Nikon D90). I think this one is a far better choice if it's going to be your only camera.
