then don't insult me by mimicking the looks of a camera that is 100x better.

Hyperbole, much?
Anyway, this merely means that you did not buy enough of them. It's all your fault.

oh, i bought plenty. i haven't used a non-fuji color film in years.
all of their 800 speed and 1600 speed films are gone. not a hyperbole. they were pretty unique and not easily replaceable . certainly not by a cam with a cheesy facade.

Why do we care what it looks like? Surely the traditional control scheme (which makes up most of the 'retro' look) is a step forward for a P&S? It is all subjective, remember.

That is not all of Fuji's good films. It's a subset, and it's not even the subset of their best films, IMO.

Sounds like you're easily insulted. Me? I have other things to worry about in life.

Yes. Fuji, on the phone last month.
I was alarmed that B&H had listed some of these as gone, so I called to confirm. Sadness followed, now it's obviously turned to rage. rawr!
But really, am I really the only one who sees this as pandering?

You don't sound as if you're talking from experience but from theory. In posts #1188 and #1201, I stated that in my experience the 21mm wide-converters for the Ricoh GRD2 and GRD3 cameras did not degrade the image and even maintaided the maximum aperture of the base lens. Indeed, I was surprised to see how good they are, having always thought that lens converters were infra dig — but using them I found that their quality can be compared to the Elmarit-21 ASPH lens.
Really? No, most people want to be able to change lenses to use different focal lengths.

Please take your rage and rant elsewhere; this thread is not about film, or disappointement over products discontinued, but about the planned new Fuji X100 and related issues. Just enjoy the topic, if you can.Yes. Fuji, on the phone last month.

I don't think it's off-topic to point out the condescending nature of the product's styling, especially in light of their recent film decisions.

Introducing a product that ticks off just about everything on my list of wanna haves in this type of camera...that kind of condescension I could use a great deal more of.
Console yourself with the 6x7 film cameras they've recently introduced.

Yes, that. Exactly.
Cameras that look and work like cameras. I really like that.

I'll buy this camera...
When, in 10 months, five competitors have released better cameras with interchangeable lenses and larger sensors-- and the price has dropped $500.

I feel your pain. I sold two Leica M, LOT of M and LTM glass, five Bessas and a couple of Nikon F2s and a S3 kit two years back. It helped pay for food, mortgage and health insurance after we went through our 401Ks during a long bout of unemployment. It sucks but the alternative sucked a lot more.

In the end it's only stuff, that we were lucky enough to have while we had it. ;-)

That's a nice dream. I hope it comes true. But given that up to now NO ONE but Father Leica has gotten the VF right... and I can't think of a comparable APS-C camera + lens, even in the mature DSLR space, that comes in at that price point.
