Who says Fuji X series can't focus?

People (myself included) spend too much time reading reviews of camera gear by people who never owned the things in the first place. (Captain Obvious speaking :D )

Seriously though, the X series have been panned for being unable to focus. I don't have a problem with the XP1, be it photographing fast moving grandkids, or seagulls in flight. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Cough, cough! I never said a word, honest!

But your pic does prove them wrong . . .

I do still get the odd shot that won't lock focus, but that would also happen with the DSLR's too.
