FujiGuys: X100 Tweets

Busy day for the Fujiguys today - lots of newish info...

'in AF-S, no MF available. In MF mode, you can use AFL/AEL to set AF and then use MF ring to fine tune focus'
(So back button autofocus in manual focus mode...interesting!)

'AF-S and AF-C mode on #Fuji X100, no Manual focus however in MF mode, AFL/AEL can be use to obtain AF.'
(So no manual override of AF in the other two modes? Hmm...)

'there are no mic input on any #Fuji digital cameras including the X100'
(Microphones yes, external input no.)

'No WA converter for #Fuji x100'
(No surprises there.)

'X100 availability will be end of March, first week of April 2011.'
'Sorry, March 21st is to early for X100 availability in Canada'
'Lucky if late March (how connected are you 🙂. othewise April 2011'
(Hmm...)

'3:2 and 16:9 are shooting options for #Fuji X100'

'no PDF manual for X100 yet.'

'In Canada, #Fuji X100 lens Hood (includes adapter ring) SRP $99.99 CAD, Adapter Ring only, SRP $49.99, Dealers may sell for less.'

'Manual control on Video for #Fuji X100, At the moment, Semi controls only EV, Whitebalance, Aperture. Shutterspeed/ISO not avail'

'X100 offers Jpeg, Raw, Raw+Jpeg. If set to JPEG, "Raw" button sets the next shot to RAW and then reverts back, vice versa too'
(So don't hit it by mistake!)

'someone asked about using OVF without having a preview afterwards. Answer is yes, turn it off from the setup menu.'

Few little tidbits there.
R!

This is *huge* to me! That's how my DSLRs are set up.

I have a little nest egg saved up for an X100, it's going to be tough holding out for one to become available. (Hopefully they'll do a run in black before the end of the year.)
 
Who was the dealer? If you don't feel like posting then can you PM me please - I'm desperate to get one before I go away on Sat!
 
Good news from the Fuji Guys:

Q: @fujiguys - what's the story on the fuji factory, engineers and their families? Any word on their status? Praying for everyone over there.

A: @BSCH all #fuji employees working at the Factory are safe.

I hope that also extends to all other Fuji employees in Japan....

@fujiguys - Things just magically appear in inventory... #Fuji X100 for US/CAN/AUS have landed. (10:15 EST)

I would have thought these were shipped by boat weeks before they earthquake, hence no delay.

The second batch (post earthquake) however will probably be a bit late 🙁

FujiGuys indicate that Canada should have some hitting stores next week... hopefully the same is true for the US.

Q: @RoryPG - how many units for Canada? When will they hit stores (roughly)? Thx

A: @FujiGuys - next week 🙂
