This camera isn't professional?!? Well scrub my previous enthusiasm, it simply won't do.
Yep, I'm out too...
Not wasting my time on any non-professional camera. And, God forbid, something that has auto-focus.
What would all my "pro-friends" think?

This Fuji camera is more "obtainable" for most folks than an M9.

Ya think some of these pros might use the X100?

Bingo...I wouldn't discuss the M9 because it is completely out of my reach.

My interest in watching this thread, in addition to trolling the Internet, is to get more specification details than was available.
I have found enough to form a favourable opinion and my credit card is ready.
Anyway, I thought I would share what I found. Please contribute if you found something not already identified...or in error.

I assisted for an LA tog who made high 6 figues for one nights work using only a Yashica T4 once. And yes it was out of choice, he has asked to be an unobtrusive at a birthday as possible.
Point being there is no such thing as a professional camera, only professional (talented is a better word, anyone can be professional and crap) photographers.

Please let us know what/how you find. Ask if Cosina has any hand in this too?

Juan - don't you know you're not allowed to be critical of a camera once it gets the RFF seal of approval? Get with the program, mahn!
Yeah, it's the new Yashica GSN...

Guys, if we're going to stumble awkwardly through diatribes about this or about that can we at least keep it specifically to the X100? Or, perhaps, if Juan & co want to carry on with this more general and philosophical debate, can they agree to do it in another thread? This specific conversation has gone on for 10-20 replies now, and I haven't seen it actually move forward in awhile. It's done. Let's get back to giving Fuji endless amounts of positive reinforcement for actually listening to us.![]()
Fuji: some of us would prefer a double image rangefinder, and M-mount or at least a few Fuji lenses... Thanks!
Cheers,

Hey Guys,
Keep this going! Don't give up now!
It's going to make an excellent case study in communication and pedantry, and who knows - we might crack the 1000 posts barrier in the next 24 hours!

Very cool list. Shows that best camera is the one you're carrying.

I wish all manufactures would take note on how to implement manual designs. More knobs and dials, less menu systems.
If i wanted menus, i'd go to a restaurant....

Fingers crossed, it might be the first P&S camera worth that much coin.

I have an opinion, that's all... As with any camera, I would prefer the X100 had a great manual focus because that would make it a better camera.

I agree Paul. Enthusiasm expressed by many, for a new product (dare I say non Leica), is evidently frowned upon by some, as if it were heresy. Not fun,

That's the only relation between both cameras in my opinion...

Sure! I could also use it for a session, depending on what I need.

I'm glad it isn't a "pro" camera or it would have convoluted menus, no dedicated shutter speed dials / aperture rings, and a large price tag to go with it.

I'm not so enthused by new digital camera release announcements so it wasn't until just today that I followed a link to what the 100x was about. It sure looks interesting. Definitely moving in the right direction.

COMING SOON! The Casio Exilim PRO! It says PRO yo so it must be for us PROz! Yo!
Wow. Seriously? You're not being ironic? Just a little bit? Really? No?
OK then... moving on...
(sheesh).
You didn't notice I was just talking about Fuji's own naming...
Cheers,
