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.
 
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.

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.
 
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...
