After using the X100 and my Contax G2, I think I'd get a X-Pro1 before I'd get the X-T1. The hybrid finder is awesome.
It's definitely an interesting camera that has some of the features I would be looking for.....not sure I could drop the $$$$ for a brand new one though.
It looks to be roughly the same size as the X-E1/E2 adding a little thickness with the grip and height with the faux....good size. I really like addition of the weather/cold resistance and the pivoting screen....not something I would use often as I like looking threw a VF, but it would come in handy. Part of the reason I love my X100 is the simplicity, aside from adding an ISO dial which would be welcomed, it looks pretty simple. My buddy got a Olympus OMD E1....that thing have so many damn buttons/features and sub menus, drives me crazy.
I feel like I will always have a X100 or some version of the 23mm fixed. Love my X100 and how it simplifies my shooting....and I am a fan of the OVF. I recently purchased a X-E1 and some Fuji glass for an up coming trip. I haven't shot with it much just yet, but I know I will put it through its paces....so far I am really happy with the image quality.
The XT1 reminds me a lot of the Olympus EM1, but with a Fuji style (shutter/aperture knobs and dials) that I prefer. I would like the extra ruggedness for backpacking/wet photography, but not sure I could justify the big price tag. Im not one that needs the newest and priciest gear, so I doubt I will acquire one any time soon, but I look forward to seeing some "real world" photos from those in the Fuji world.
