Finally, X100

I love the concepts/controls of this camera,...... but only 720p video? they can do better than that ........ I 'spose they did this deliberately, so the next one with the 1080p will be the "upgrade" model in 6 months.......
 
Where's the "OMG THE PRICE HAS BEEN DRIVEN UP BY FORUM HYPE!!!! LOL!!1!" crew?

Finally some images from the x100, I think its going to have the usual issues in night colour shots, and some auto white balance issues, great for black and white, probably needs an orange filter for more punch. Love the fact the shutter is in the lens, has a gentle shutter tick just like the the Mamiya 7

Better resolution than the Leica M8 but at the sacrifice of one lens, a second hand M8 is still very attractive

Don't really see the better resolution compared to the M8, but it does look pretty decent. Seems like a great second digital body in addition to the M8, though to be fair it's still unclear which one would be the primary and which one the backup...
 
Wow, the sample images are so so dull. A camera with this much excitement, and they show cats and flowers. :/

So, what's the UK price then, has that been confirmed?
 
It's really hard to judge from these. It looks like they just hung the thing from some random guys neck and had it fire away at random.

Who really cares? No one is going to be using this for filming TV episodes. Do you really need to upload youtube clips of cat tricks and kids playing at 1080p? It's a still camera, I wouldn't even cry if it had no video capabilities. 720p is more than sufficient should I ever feel like capturing a quick moving clip.
 
Is the case and vented hood included with the camera, or are those extra?
