I don't know if they're going to announce a recall or an offer to buy-back from those dis-satisfied or a repair with a sensor replacement or what. But they've put out a firmware update that didn't solve the problem and they seem to be acknowledging that this is a very real issue.
Fujifilm promises 'definitive solution' to X10 white orb problem: Digital Photography Review
It will be great if they can actually solve it while maintaining the camera's best properties, but if they can't, a recall or refund offer would be a very good step. Must be a real downer for them to have to deal with this just as they'd rather be celebrating the X-Pro launch. I personally went from being someone who didn't think it was much of a problem to thinking it was more of a problem than I thought (particularly for night shots) to someone who thought it was enough of a problem that the camera couldn't serve its intended purpose in my bag. Or more specifically, its intended purpose for when there was NO bag... Good that Fuji appears to be taking it seriously. There are a lot of folks over on DPR who've lost all perspective about this. And I guess I can understand their frustration - for some types of shooting its a total deal-breaker - but not their near total insanity.
