Is Fuji X-Pro2 coming soon?

Ted's Cameras now offer Fuji X-Pro1 body for 1,250 AUD. That is about 500AUD below "standard" price. It seems that Ted's is the only shop that offer such discount for the camera. Other camera shops in Brisbane - Digital Camera Warehouse, CameraPro, Photo Continental - all have the body only at around 1,700AUD. Either it is a mistake, or Australia got bigger discount on X-Pro1 than the US. X-Pro1 has unique hybrid viewfinder, and this feature alone make this camera very attractive for some people. It is not mass product, and it priced accordingly. It is possible that Fuji overestimated a demand for this camera but I suspect that the company may release new X-Pro model (X-Pro2 or whatever) in nearby future. Fujifilm gradually improves their cameras. According to reviewers the latest Fuji cameras do focus fast, and Fuji XF1 got very interesting interface. It would be logical for Fuji to upgrade their Pro model with fast focus and high level of customization. After all, rumors about new Pro model circulate on the web for quite a while.
