Greetings, Peeps:
After a few months enjoying my x100 (purchased in May), I have encountered an issue. While on vacation, my x100 started overexposing everything!!! I immediately thought it was a sticky aperture blade issue. But after doing the tests, I realized it was not the issue. The issue seems to be that the shutter is stuck at about 125/250! I tested this by keeping the aperture at f4, iso at 500 and moving through the range of shutter speeds. The camera seems to be responding and exposing correctly up until 125/250. The shutter speed does not seem to want to go over those speeds, the exposure does not change (expecting it to darken the image), and I am able to cause blur by moving the camera at f4000!!!
Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed from what is supposedly a premium product. I knew of the SAB issue, but I bought a newer build camera, so I figured it'd be fine. But now I have this shutter issue! I'm just hoping Fuji will satisfactorily address my issue. Wish me luck and I'll let you know what happens. Feel free to comment and provide any suggestions!

Just in case.. Do u know that since the x100 is a leaf shutter, using shutters speeds above 1000, u need an f stop of f8 or smaller. I noticed all your sample shots are at f4 iso 500..
