ok i talked over the phone with the salesperson told me the price is 3888 comes with leather case (yes the original case). I asked about the hood. He went back and check and said yes includes the hood+adaptor ring as well. So I ma hurry down there lor.

Then found out the leather case and hood is not here yet but have to wait. Camera is here. Then ask for further discount. Salesman went ask the manager. Then found out that the hood is not included, just the adaptor ring. Then I said if you give me the adaptor ring, then next time I buy the hood, I will get another adaptor ring. The manager also not sure what comes with what now so went back in to check. When he came back out, now the 3888 package only comes with the leather case. No adaptor ring, no hood, no discount.

Anyway I still bought
Case can only collect maybe early next month.

Actually not so cheap. Cheaper than Singapore but more expensive then Thailand. Retail price maybe can get some discount further but not sure. But they say leather case only first 50 sets.

While playing the camera at the shop, my initial fears is that the menu system is not so easy to use. Im coming from Panasonic menu system so Im using that as my yardstick. Some ppl says its too light weight but I find it just about right. I cant tell you more cause Ive got no idea how to "use" it yet.

hi there bro,

care to share where did you bought it? thanks

go to Fujifilm at Menara Axis Ground floor.

btw he did have a sample hood and adaptor ring which I had to twist some arms to buy it from them

confirmed that the lens cap wont fit the hood but it seems to be able to fit the adaptor ring with filter.

hood+adaptor and leather case is supposed to be around RM200 each

so far the only item i feel its cheaply made are the two metal rings for the strap.

U bought the camera and free leather bag for $3888 ?

So how much did the sample hood and adaptor ring cost u ?

wah now only i know this thing available for purchase oredi

Do they have lots of stock or only a few units? I'm going tomorrow if there's a definite availability.

Also, do you mind providing me with their telephone number?

So total how much has you paid for the camera, hood, adapter ring and the leather case?

cool man thanks for the heads up! esok beli!

Don't bother going there, they're completely sold out.

I called them today, they said that there are no units left and that they'll have to order. But I went anyway to see for myself, and true enough, they're sold out. However...

I bought the display unit. Not that I really mind anyway, it's basically brand new.

dammit! so fast?!?!

I am not really a hardcore photographer but would like to take snapshot on everything that i found pretty and interesting while traveling or just a normal outing with friends.
With the budget around 4k, What would you all recommend here?
Nikon D7000, Canon 60D or the retro X100?? Your valuable recommendation is much appreciated.

X100 if you don't want the bulkiness of a DSLR and don't mind a slight sluggishness in controls. A DSLR is much more responsive in controls - my opinion after handling the X100 myself.

People like me buy the X100 for times when I really don't want to lug a heavy DSLR around but don't want a compromise in image quality by using compact cameras either.

So your recommendation would be?

My usual shop will have it in 2days. Will post up the review once got it

Any offer price?

IIRC 3.5-3.7k
RRP 3888 IIRC
Comes 2 unit only.

they called me today to go collect yes RM3888 with the brown leather case only....

leather case only available next month.....

they have sold 5 units and now 2 units left....

i might not buy because i just bought a GF1 then sold the next few days then bought GF2.....still new to camera and seriously speaking i dont see X100 shoot better picture than GF2....

maybe my skill not good enough.....but seriously....X100 looks so damn good!!!

they still have 2 units, not sold out or maybe they reserve the 2 units for customer who pre order.....

The noise performance alone is worth the extra priceover GF2, don't even get me started on the optical viewfinder ( a huge plus during outdoor )... seems to me like u dun know what advantages X100 has over other camera, stick with your GF2 and learn first
