Read really interesting things about this camera.

As an ex DSLR user who always wished that I could get good image quality that was less subtle and more compact that wouldn't leave you aching after a whole day of shooting, I was rather interested in this. FlickR x100 pictures are amazing but I have no idea how the AF works on a retro camera like this.

How does it work exactly? I'm guessing that it isn't as simple as half press focus. Is it very manual focus based?

what memory cards are you guys using?
mine is 16GB Sandisk 15mb/sec... it's quite slow during start up..i guess this is normal due to the memory card? now the fastest is 90mb/sec ahh?

i use 16gb 45mb sandisk extreme

ya, this camera need fast card

Manual focus seems to be easy too. No need to use the focus ring, just press the focus lock button and it will focus on its own, to me, its like semi auto.

And ya, this camera really good to use for zone focusing.

If you can, wait for PC Fair. It's on 13 - 15 July.

Interesting..

Anyone got links as to how good the image quality actually is for layman portraits? I see alot of amazing landscape shots but little portraits or people shots.

Is the AF that slow lol.

Really nice shots.

Though I wish I could see some samples in higher resolution.

I bought an iPad 3 so I could put my pictures on it to syiok sendiri. I wonder whether 12MP's is enough. Seeing that I'm coming from a 24MP sensor lol.


Is external flash a viable option? anyone using it?

12mp is good enough for your IPAD.

Just use your ipad and browse flickr for x100, plenty of photo available.

Ya tried manual flash before. looks cool but since its without TTL, so need to adjust alot.

Imo, the on camera flash is pretty good and diffuse. The only issue with the on camera flash is the batt life.

Ah super interested to get it now

Was actually planning to get a mid ranged body with good primes and learn how to strobe but realized that I just don't have alot of time to use my DSLR alot if I get one. Too intimidating to bring to college to get good street/candids shots.

How long is the normal warranty offered by fuji? Are there any addons (such as filter and lens hood) that are necessary?

I like it just naked... I only put a UV filter... Fuji gives 1 year warranty...

if want to put filter, need to get the adaptor, since adaptor usually come with the hood, may as well use the hood, what i learn is to keep the cap and use the hood only. The hood may block some light when using on camera flash, but other than that, i suggest to use the hood, at least it protect your lens.

Adaptor and hood wise, not neccesary need to buy ori Fuji, there's third party adaptor + hood out there, im using one of them and my only complaint so far is the hood a little bit lose.

Yup, this camera good to have and can be carry around all the time.

Warranty 1 year if i recall correctly.

can anyone teach me how to take B&W photos using X100? thanks in advance.
