Black x100s is $300 less than silver

[daveleo]

BH has the black x100s at $850 until Jan30.2015
The silver is $1150
? Strange to me ?
Also kind of undermines sales of the 23mm XF lens, I think. Better buy an X100s than the 23mm lens ...?

Maybe black on black is perceived to be not as "hip" and not selling well to the masses?

I am surprised that the x100s silver is still so expensive when the x100t will be available in the US in the near future. Personally, I would prefer a black myself.

I still have my original x100, until that gives up the ghost... I can wait. The x100t is tempting though.

I wonder if Fuji will ever do something like what sigma did w/ their DP series and come out w/ a x100 in a different focal length? Something between 40-50 fov that the wcl and tcl will work w/ as well.

I have both the x100s and the 23mm lens (on an xt1). Don't regret buying the 23mm lens for a moment. The extra stop comes in handy, and it's just a better lens all around.

I dont believe that I did this, but I just dropped $199 on a "9+" grade X-A1 (black, body only) at B&H.
No doubt that last night's sighting of the black X100s primed me for this knee-jerk purchase. I expect the X-A1 to play well with my 27mm/2.8 as a party / kickaround setup.
I *needed* this like a hole in my head.
