happy shooting man

i'm not really into shooting photo before i got my hand on x100 in fact i kinda hate it because it always delay us when we travel in a group. but thing changed when i first saw the x100. the retro look really caught my eye and its even deeper after i gone through the reviews on the net. so in the end my first camera goes to x100.

so what is your first emotion when you first get the camera?
what do you think after using it , haha .
too excited to get my x100 later

First its kinda big than I saw before maybe its because I din really get to hold n feel it for long. Of course the feeling is very good n I can't describe it with words. Other than its performance, I believe it did serve well as a fashion accessory too. I think with a x100 on ur hand surely can outstand whoever next to u with a big dslr.

thanks 。 i hope i wont regret buying it as well . haha

Added on March 24, 2012, 10:33 amyup , i totally agree with that , before i decide to get x100 , i was actually considering gf3 and alots of other model .
x100 never fail to hold my attention for at least a minute every single time i walk pass the camera shop nearby my house .
i remember x100 were still selling around RM3880 few months ago , to be honest its a lil too pricy for me .
when i almost give up to get x100 , i saw a seller in lowyat selling the full new set @ only RM3200 with leather case and memory card.
i then decided to sell of my Samsung NX100 and get my favourite compact king the FUJI X100

Congrats on your new purchase. For me, I read the reviews, and I was really interested. My old camera was a 5 year old Powershot G7. I had an upcoming Langkawi trip, so I thought I should get a new camera. I never tried it in hand, and I just went to YL, and tried holding it in my hands. The weight and solid feel really got to me. I purchased it that day. Hahaha. Anyway, I see your leather case is 3rd party too yeah, I guess that's how they offset the price.

Here's a random pic, while servicing my car aircond.

Old vs new firmware difference.... impressive!




For those who are too lazy to find my posts, these are some of the things that you can do with your X100:

hi, may i know how do you differentiate between the truly original and the third party case?
as my seller told me , that was a orignal from fujifilm .



btw , do you use the original chain ring come with the leather case for the strap ? i've tried again and again to chain it on my camera body but its just to hard for me to 'open it's mouth' . lol, so at last i gave up using it and i took the original strap's ring to replace with it.

here are some of my random testing photo .

The X100 font on the strap and case doesn't match the X100 on the box. You can see from your pic. I think thats how to differentiate.

thanks for your information bro , however 3200 with a oem leather case, 8gb , screen protector and a card reader , seriously its worth .

btw , have you get the lens hood and extra battery ?

i am considering to get a JJC lens hood which cost me around rm130 and a extra oem battery RM60.

yeah 3200 is still a damn good price. Yeah, I just bought the JJC hood, no extra battery yet...

can get cheaper JJC hood in ebay (around RM7x), but need quite some time to wait item arrive

can let me know where you buy extra battery???

try chk out on lelong.com.my . a seller name newspeed is selling it . or are you interested to get from china ?1pcs around RM30 + RM16(rm10 from china , rm6 for local postage ) postage .arrive within 13 working days , i am ordering , if you want i will post it to you when i get the battery .

Added on March 25, 2012, 2:16 amhi , i am gonna order the battery from china RM30 per pcs , +Rm16(RM10 from china rm6 local postage ) . are you interested to get one also ?



according to the battery itself , its a 2600mah , but somehow i doesnt believe on the mah , i think most probably its 1600 or 1800mah only.

Added on March 25, 2012, 4:54 amHey guys, I found an error in x100

Here how it's begin

Set manual focus, p mode, view mode (eye sensor- ovf)
Put you eye to viewfinder (hold your eye in viewfinder)
Now, press and hold AF button, assign focus point to most right edge.
Press AEL/AFL........ Then the x100 will freeze.

Anyone can help try out. Is it just happen to me or is bug of x100

Now all you need is the JJC Hood and filter adapter and get yourself a filter to protect the lens.....

Am not so sure about stuffing 3rd party batteries into my precious X100.... :-)

Yep, that crashed my X100 as well, couldn't switch it off

Added on March 25, 2012, 10:30 amThanks, but I haven't got the need to use extra batteries yet... thanks!

yup .....need to unplug battery to turn it off...

to be honest , i dont think the manual focus of x100 a useful function compare to DSLR or some of the model of mirrorless model.
i need to turn soo many round of the ring to get from infinity to the minimum focus range .

i mean like its okay if you're just using it sometime for fun .but not daily usage like how i can use on my dslr.

so i think i will prefer the auto focus mode more.

Added on March 25, 2012, 2:38 pmi've tried it as well , same things happen to my x100 so its either the bug of the firmware or smth , hope fuji will fix it with a firmware update real soon .

This post has been edited by ricgan: Mar 25 2012, 02:43 PM

yes...many round need to be turn....if still want use MF in x100, press AFL/AEL button, then fine tune with ring to your desire focus range...

hopefully fuji wont stop there, looking forward new firmware..

Added on March 25, 2012, 3:06 pmguys, i dont get it the v1.2 new function

5. When the image is shot with vertical angle of the camera and played back the shot in the LCD, the image is displayed with whole area of LCD even after pressing "playback zoom in" button.
