Thanks, having (and using) an M9 and an X-100 it was a loaded question ;-)

I'm not Steve, but I'll say it feels more like an M than it does an X100.

Hi Steve, does it feel similar to an X-100 in use?

it and the X100 are very Leica-like, though quirky as hell. Oh, wait, I just
said they're very Leica-like, didn't I?  :-) Seriously, my only complaint
with the X1Pro is the focusing, and even that is getting to be less of an
issue every day. 

I totally agree BD,  you have really taken to it, so have I....I have used
it in preference to my M9, which I may sell. My daughter without knowing
that I am using a different camera has even commented favorably on the
current photos looking especially special...

performance is wonderful, look of photos is spectacular, High ISO
performance wonderful as it should be, and shooting lag is not an issue,
occasionally very slight, it's acceptable, and it is certainly faster than
using  manual focus in the dark on an M9.
