Fuji X100 Digital SOMETHING from Fujifilm

I agree with much of what is said but I find the "styling" regrettable. I wish they had been less concerned about making it look "retro," though the controls seem to be all in the right places and that counts for a lot. It seem to me it just calls attention to itself. Wish it had just been more plain and utilitarian. I hope, at least, it's AF. I would assume so.

ditto. i'm not a fan of the retro look at all. something more modern with the contours of the leica cl, minolta cle, zeiss ikon, hexar rf, and contax g would have been greatly preferred.

Hey Mods, can we get the threads on this merged?

I merged the two threads into the first, under Point and Shoot. All posts should not be here, in sequence. Done just to avoid confusion of the "where did I see that".

I suspect this new camera will produce a lot of excitement, and some more threads. It's natural, looks like a Nice camera.

2000 Quattro's on the new Fuji Digital!

The industrial design is absolutely consistent with the recently-released MF folders.
 
I love where they put the M3 Rewind Lever. I wonder if you can program the function to review all of the images going from most recently taken to first.
 
Great! If the hybrid viewfinder is as good as it sounds this is something I would call high tech. From the pictures it seems, that there is also an option for manually setting the focus and the apperture in a traditional way and look at the back, a thumb wheel included also, not to speak of the magnesium alloy body and the overall design! Do I see a diopter correction wheel there? Almost too good to be true.
 
This is the first day of my life. Mr. Fuji brings me exactly what I was hoping and waiting for.
My purchase of the Leica M8 is postponed again, any maybe forever.

absolutely consistent? this camera's design looks more like a russian rangefinder (no offense intended). the gf670 is much better looking.

i'm also disappointed that it's not black. that should have been a matter of course.
 
I must be dreaming. I was about to put all of my DSLR gear on ebay in a couple of weeks, but I was hesitant. Now I have a reason.

In any case it looks a whole lot better than the bloated-just-enough-to-destroy-their-proportions M8 and M9. And if you want it black, I'll sell you a roll of gaffer's tape at my cost (+shipping), and tell you how to use it. 😉

I'm more interested in what it can do than in how it looks. But to my eyes it also looks just right.
 
Fixed Lens? Pass.

Fixed Lens? Pass.

Why no interchangeable lens system to go along with it? I guess my complaint also goes to the new folder they announced. I can't travel light with these cameras because I'd have to carry around multiple cameras.
 
So, Leica now knows that the X1 is toast. They now need to pull a rabbit out of their hat

BTW: Very nice looking, but who cares, just so the ergonomics are right and they (Fuji) have addressed the X1 complaints.
 
When i first saw it, i shouted out Oh My God. But, why oh why couldn't they have gone one step further and made it with interchangeable lenses? Even if they only had the single lens at release? If i could have this, but with an option of a 30mm f2, i'd be 'super psyched.'

This, despite the gorgeousness, still leaves me having to consider the NEX and all of its lens options. This Fuji seems like something that's great as 'another camera.' Not a 'primary.' I don't like being 'locked into' a focal length that i've WANTED to like, but never had much luck with.

I suppose, like the Hexar AF > Hexar RF, this allows them to market a different model in the future....
