Fujifilm X-Pro1 Price Announced

With the new OM-D coming out, the uniqueness of the X-Pro 1 has sort of been mitigated. At least it is still a larger sensor. I wonder if the Fuji lens' are really any better than the Olympus offerings.

Is the OM-D a micro four thirds or a four thirds? I'm guessing a mirrorless four thirds camera.

I've been reading about the new Fuji X-Pro1 and at 1700 for the body only, it would be hard for me to justify the cost. At that price we’re in the same ballpark as a Canon 7d or Nikon D300s which are some awful nice cameras and a kit can be had for less money than the Fuji with one lens.

I'm not going to speculate on anything new Olympus might be doing. However, I do want to point out that what really makes the X-Pro1 special - in my opinion anyway - is the sensor. That sensor has soooo much potential. It's not the same technology but I've got the Fujifilm X10 right now and the image quality is blowing me away. I think this is going to be a really big year for Fujifilm. I am hoping they do something else with the new sensor and I'd also love to see the X10 sensor in a pocket-sized camera. This thing is amazing!
