Don't have a Fuji X camera and feeling left out of all the ritualized firmware updates the rest of us are having fun doing? You can buy an X camera now while Fujifilm has them heavily discounted. Then you can join the rest of us in the fun of firmware updating.

    Tempting, tempting…. as a very happy X100 user… it is very tempting to make a complete transition form Nikon dSLRs to the X system.
