I believe it is based around very small highly intelligent squirrels with abacuses - you adjust the image quality by feeding them the appropriate kinds of nuts - almonds for higher contrast images, peanuts for JPEGS, pistachio to correct the green cast of fluorescent lights
I see you've never written embedded code for a Digital Camera before.
Squirrels are too big, have high power consumption and produce "waste" that is detrimental to the interior of a camera.
Use Dust Mites.

EXR Processor (Newly Developed)
The image processor is part of the EXR Suite. I don't know the variants, but if you read the links at the bottom of my earlier post (#1349) citing Fuji's EXR; there are links to more EXR data.

Read down the page on this one too Brian..

If you look through the photos on the "flip-page", you'll see a shot of the image processor sitting on a board.

What kinds of wireless remote controlled shutter release devices will work on the X100?
Right now I can attach a Phottix Plato Wireless Remote Controlled Shutter Release device to my Canon G11 and fire it in one location while I am shooting with the DSLR in another location. I just want to know if the X100 will be able to do the same thing or something similar.

I'm sure it will be some sort of PCM scheme. Nikon and Canon use the same Chinese device.. just a different code and packaging.

Admittedly I have little embedded code experience... but I am not sure dustmites are the answer
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_dust_mite
"The average life cycle for a male house dust mite is 10 to 19 days. A mated female house dust mite can live for 70 days, laying 60 to 100 eggs in the last 5 weeks of her life. In a 10 week life span, a house dust mite will produce approximately 2000 fecal particles and an even larger number of partially digested enzyme-covered dust particles.[1]
seems to me the number of shots you could take maybe limited - plus there seems to be a sensor dust problem

Here's the output from the nikon ML-L3 PCM device. You can clearly see the mites on the leading edge..

At a price point of $1000.00 or less, Fuji could easily produce 21mm/35mm/50mm/90mm cameras and optimize each. Optimization would include the ideal viewfinder magnification. This certainly would not be any more costly than buying Leica primes and that doesn't even include buying the Leica body. Somewhat like the Ricoh GXR, but with an optical viewfinder.
Also, no sensor to clean....

You're missing the obvious - the dust mite (or squirrel) crap gets recycled as the actual images. Remember, most images are crap.

I agree (the point abut the dust should not be underestimated), but if you plan to have more the one focal length in you bag you will need a lot of space if you would carry 2 or 3 of these. But then my pick would be 21/35/75 :angel:

At the risk of getting into trouble here.. I'll assume this is directed to you and won't reply to other's comments.. as I'm not interested in a film vs. digital battle.
One of the factors in film that creates the illusion of a 3rd dimension in a 2 dimensional device (a print for example) is that those little silver rocks will accept light at any angle delivered.
The Sensor designers have played with pointing pixel sites off of the 90 deg axis in order to emulate film. Doing this eats up resolution real estate and the marketing people are still resolution driven. Once, the resolution game is met, hopefully some of those really high density dies can be designed with pixels dedicated to bandwidth and receiving light off of the 90 deg axis to more closely copy the great "film illusion" we have come to know.

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned here, dpreview.com has a poll up. You can vote on the most exciting product of Photokina and the X100 is, obviously, one of the options. I voted.

I was just about to post this message on the “Love the M9ti but not keen on X100? “ thread but it closed before I could do so. Therefore, I will post it here.
I have no idea how good they are at image making but I think the Leica M9 titanium and the Fuji X100 are two gorgeous cameras. If they handle well and are capable of producing images of high quality, next year, I will buy the one that I can fiscally justify.

I have a couple questions regarding the sensor. Is there a real noticable difference in image quality between an APS-C and 4/3rds sensor? Are the Fuji sensors a different breed than sensors from Sony and Panasonic, as far as their real world performance goes?

Read the posts by "nugat" in this thread, starting with post #406. He argues that Olympic 4/3 lenses are better than Leica for digital (based on evaluation of the E-1 by Erwin Puts); that the design of the 4/3 system, with its large lens throat and image circle, allows for better quality than APS-C system; and that the 4/3 has become like Betamax in competition with the lower image quality VHS, which suceeded in the market.

I had a Canon 40D and later the far newer Panasonic G1. For me comparable is the Canon at ISO 1600 and the G1 at 640 or max. 800. So the older APS-C is at least one stop better in high ISO than the newer mFT sensor. Just my personal observation.

This X100 sensor business is all guessing. Sensors are designed by different manufactures for their "custom" features regardless of the sensor size or the Fab producing them. These camera makers are not locked in to a specific sensor. All Fujifilm did was spec. a size. It's all guessing. Read the material on the Fuji site regarding their EXR sensor and EXR image processor. It may hint to the device being designed for the x100. There is no camera yet.. it's all speculation.. fun guessing, but guessing. There's plenty of time left in the Design Cycle for all kinds of changes and enhancements. Fuji would be foolish to disclose too much technical information before the camera's release. While the X100 is unique, Fuji is not alone in the digital camera market.
