I think if you don't do a rational, point-by-point, reasoned comparison and make a conclusion someone with less integrity will do it - but start with the statement, "The X-Pro 1 beats the K-Zero-1 hands down. Now let's open the X Pro box."

Well in a way, it is apples to oranges- DSLR lenses vs dedicated lenses, $1700 vs $750, OVF/EVF vs LCDVF, but I'm sure it could be done. I'm sure the K-01 will win in terms of IQ, knowing how much fuji likes to experiment with pixels layouts.

To me, these cameras are targeted at two completely different markets. Its like comparing a Canon 5D MkIII to a Pentax Q. People who love the Fuji would hate the K-01 and those who like the K-01 wouldn't dream of spending that much money on the Fuji.

Yes, Fuji has a history of experimenting with pixel layouts. How many cameras has it been now. I lost track.

I've decided that we will do a standalone X-pro review, followed by a review of the EM-5, followed by a review of the Nikon D800 vs Canon 5Dmk3, followed by a review of the 645D vs Nikon D800. I'm not sure what the first three have to do with Pentax, but they're all coming!
