Fuji X100 Digital SOMETHING from Fujifilm

I am just wondering - are FX sized sensors still THAT expensive that this camera could not have one? Sony A850 and Canon 5D MarkII are both about costs €1700 - €1800 as of now ... just a thought.

It looks fine. Probably not a lot different than using your forefinger to change shutter speeds on an M.

Do you think this camera has an actual shutter? It doesn't need one or a mirror for that matter.

If the exposure action is totally electronic (my hope) it will be very quiet. My P6K has no shutter, I'm not sure about the 4/3 models. I guess the Leica's do use a shutter in the M8 and M9?

Remember, X100 is great news also for those who will not pre-order one. It may happen that market sees good offers from those who will dump their current gear to rush for X100.

And... that if this is successful, it won't be the last camera of its kind. More ovf/evf combinations will pop up, at different prices... exciting indeed!!!
 
Looks like the battle of SLR vs RF (I know it's not the right terminology for this kind of camera, but you get the idea) of 21st century is really heating up now.

I bet in 3-5 years time, I'll be able to afford a full-frame EVIL, O/EVF hybrid or RF digital.

Unless Fuji made significant advancements with this camera, the current sensor technology requires a mechanical shutter for stills purpose.
 
this is as close as it gets to the Hexar AF.
Excellent.
Finally a digital camera whos interface (and specs) i seem to like!
Now, of course, nothing is perfect... The hexar af's excellent active double IR autofocus would be nice to have in this body.- would give an edve over all the silly focus-hunting SLR's...
 
35mm x 1.5 (APS-C sensor) = 52,5mm
23mm x 1.5 (APS-C sensor) = 34,5mm

Maybe they are releasing a semi-wide and a short tele versions?
:)

I would like a wide angle version, a X100W or something.. 24 or 28mm with a f/2.0-2.8 aperture.

What prevents a "frame-grab" from working with an APS-C ? It just needs a storage buffer and some fast LSI ?

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.

then you should get the sony nex stuff. Definitely not retro looking, and good.

Nikon's cost for a FX is rumored to be about $400. I don't know if this figure involved Sony or Nikon's new Fab. And I'm not sure the price point is for the latest 24MP sensor.

without a mechnical shutter to "cut-off" light, grabbing snap-in-time data from a sensor will be blurry, due to the fact that the pixels are still gathering light.
 
I would like to volunteer to test one of these out, and write up a review on my blog. Complete with low light images of my cats.
 
Wow, 20 pages this quick.

I, for one, would like it to have interchangeable lenses. a 24 2.8, 50 1.4 and an 85 1.8.

I'd get one and never look back....
