X100 - No black body?

[schaki]

This Fuji X100 looks very interesting (and so is the GXR A12 28mm) but so far no sign of a black X100 body?
Or are Fuji going to do like Leica with the X1. Release a black body a bit late? Usually I can't stand silver cameras but decided to make a one off for the old Minolta Dimage EX zoom and the 28mm f1.9 module because I liked the output too much and there was no real equivalent. Thankfully it is 'just' matte silver.

Well the silver is what IMHO, is getting us all gussied about. It is just so classic looking. Maybe someday we will find out if it works.

I know I'd prefer black and told Fuji as much via their comment section on the X100 microsite.

I think they should follow Pentax's lead and offer an array of colors.

Make mine avocado.

It's still a prototype- time will tell what they offer.

Most fixed-lens RF's were offered Chrome Only, few exceptions. The Canonet Ql17l and GIII were both offered in black, cost an extra $10.

yellow for me

I understand letting aesthetics sway your opinion of a camera, but are you really going to let the fact that it is silver keep you from buying it?

red, need a bright red one

You are all crazy, we need titanium one!!!!

 

[Pickett Wilson]

I think we are drawing some odd conclusions from a non-functional prototype. The final product could look very different.

Leather Brown Please

I Love the chrome too!

 

[filmfan]

Chrome is sweet. So is black, but I want periwinkle blue.

yeah, the Fuji X100 cart is way ahead of the horse.

As for the color, I'd get spray paint.

I would like one in a Burberry plaid.

I'll wait until I see one for sale to see what color it shows up in, as well as what the production camera looks like.

A black version would be cool though.

 

[ramosa]

cool looking camera, i must admit. and it seems to have some type of RF option?

 

[cny3123]

Actually scratch the titanium, I need mine to have tiger stripe pattern.

 

[Jodorowsky]

When the Olympus Micro 4/3rds prototype was unveiled, I thought it was pretty cool looking- remember? It looked like a tobacco tin in a tan leather cummerbund. Looked nothing like the EP1.

Saying that, the X100 looks pretty advanced and specific, so I can't imagine that the finished product will look much different.

Whatever, it's bound to have a deal breaking flaw of some sort for plenty of people.... I must admit, I'm quite excited by it.... we'll have to see...

Make it ugly, but make it work.
