Sticky aperture blades affected the earlier X100's where the blades would stick and not close properly causing overexposure at smaller apertures. Doesn't have anything to do with burst mode.

As for the saving times. The SD cards should be formatted in camera and the slider should be locked before inserting it into any card reader as anything written on the cards will slow down the read times. But for some reason even with the SD cards locked, sticking it into a Mac causes the cards to slow down as well requiring it to be reformatted again. Also, using the fastest cards possible helps also.

Hope this helps.

Nice!

Same price as when the X100 was released.... $$$

One from the WTA Malaysian Open 2013...

Tq.

Fully agree here. The OOC JPEG's are pretty damn good and so far the best RAW conversion programs can only match the JPEG output.... save time mah. No need to PP...

OOC is Out Of Camera or sometimes also known as SOOC, Straight OOC.

Have you tried Astia? I find it punchier than Provia but not as saturated as Velvia.

Too much poison!!! Price seems quite competitive vs X100 when that was released....

Hahaha..... Don't worry. I join you. I'm keeping my X100..... For the moment. :-)

This is definitely true.... X100 was the fist X camera and the packaging was awesome. My X-E1 box not very impressive.....

Best reason to stick to X100....

I have both the X100 and X-E1. The body is about the same for both but the 35mm is much bigger than the X100 built in 23mm.

The X100s has the latest generation X-Trans sensor which is an improvement over the X-E1 but I suspect its mainly the inclusion of the phase detect photosites on the sensor itself. Picture quality should be the same between the X100s and X-E1.

The new MF and faster AF of the X100s is certainly tempting but not enough to make me part with my X100 just yet.

However, to choose between the X100s and X-E1 is different but also more difficult to choose. The X100s is more compact but the X-E1 is more flexible.

I do love my X-E1 with the 35/1.4 but sometimes I prefer the wider 23mm of my X100.

I suppose you need to decide what focal length you prefer and whether you need the flexibility.

If you're ok with a fixed 35mm lens then personally I would choose the X100s over the X-E1. Then you can buy the X-E1s/X-E2 when its released....

I love your s.... very detailed and accurate.

Your red AA strap on the black X-E1 looks awesome!

Yeah. Should just have one Fuji X-Series thread...

Buy the JJC adapter and hood from eBay. Quality is pretty good. So far so good with mine.

Ori fr Fuji very expensive. JJC is a high quality unofficial adapter and hood. It's very nice. Color about the same as the X100.

Unfortunately can only use bottom of leather case as you can't close the top part with the adapter.

AF speed seems to bad a major concern for all prospective X100 owners....

The X100 uses contrast detect AF which means that the camera will have to hunt back and forth to determine when the focus gives the highest contract which would indicate that it is in focus. All contrast detect cameras do this so it will inherently be slower than the Phase Detect AF on DSLR's which work continually. The X100s is a hybrid phase and contrast detect.... Not sure how it works or how well it works either.

But the point is. The X100 will never challenge a DSLR for focusing speed and it has never affected my use and enjoyment of the camera. Granted on the earlier firmware there was a lot of hunting especially in low light but now I don't even notice.

The X100 still is a great camera! Lovely, lovely Fuji color, very good at high ISO and pretty sharp.

AF? Don't worry so much about it.....

Wah.... Official price for X100s is only RM2988!!!!

Definitely typo leh. Should be RM3988.
