The number of photojournalists that would trade in their M8.2/M9 for a X1Pro can\'t be very big.
I think you may be underestimating the status of Fuji among professionals, both in the film and digital world. Many wedding and portrait pros used/use Fuji DSLR\'s due to the file quality and this previous Fuji user group would likely jump right in if the camera suited them.
I agree that Fuji cameras have had very compelling professional cameras in the past that have had a loyal user base, but the DSLR bodies had the unique multi sized pixels for extended DR, which makes a lot of sense for wedding shooters (white dress/black tux.) With CDAF and a less cutting edge sensor technology than the DSLRs, I\'m not sure the X-Pro1 is quite in the same league for pros, but, I still kinda want one. It\'s damn cool.
