X100 -- Youtube Video from CES

[ozmander]

Found this helpful set of video uploaded to Youtube. Gives a better sense of how the OVF/EVF work. Wish the camera didn't shake so much!

Where are the reviews???? The CNET chaps should have published a quick review on AF / ISO / Shutter performance by now 😡

I'm starting to worry that a combination of overdone marketing and inadequate supply is going to hurt Fuji. Frustration isn't a good marketing strategy!

So, he's taking a picture of flowers but there are no flowers in front of the camera?

What am I missing?

All I want to see os somebody with the OVF, manual focus, on the street.

Those videos unfortunately aren't all that useful since I believe the EVF wasn't working and the pre production camera there wasn't even taking pictures. I don't consider any of it to be very representative of the camera beyond the look of the body.

As for reviews, most of the time they are not allowed until the camera is released so I wouldn't expect anything beyond previews (like dpreview's) until sometime in March.

The buzzing from the overhead lights gave me a headache.

What I learned most from these videos is how important it is to shoot video with a camera that has manual control over the AGC so you can bypass/disable it and use a quality external mic.
