My JJC Hood and Adaptor look quite close to the ori color of the X100. Its not perfect but pretty close.just got my JJC hood from eBay, but the metal silver color of JJC hood seems quite different color from the body of x100.... is it true??? |

Just upgraded to the 1.20. Nice improvement with the RAW button and the Auto ISO is now available under the Shooting menu along with the ISO setting. Just can't understand why they couldn't have integrated the activation of the Auto ISO as part of the ISO menu itself and leave the existing sub-menu just for the Auto ISO settings.
Have yet to see if there's any improvement in AF and MF. |

QUOTE(bem69 @ Mar 21 2012, 10:41 PM) updated the firmware, and holy smokes, the AF is much, much faster than 1.13. With 1.13 I didn't notice the difference, but with this, it just locks on in a snap. Yeah. AF speed and accuracy has improved tremendously. I like, I like.Now if we can just get something like the Q Menu on the X-Pro1 that would be perfect... |

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.... :-) |

QUOTE(ZzZzz... @ Mar 26 2012, 10:48 PM) x100 worth for that price ma Hahahahaha..... Agreed.but hor, tiny ladybird not worth for that price...small small item sell so high...wonder how much cost to use to make a ladybird I stopped using my China soft release already. Nice to use but it keeps working itself loose. If I ever get another is probably pay a little more for a branded soft release like the Abrahamsson soft release (am also not sure if this one would not work itself loose either so that's why haven't bought another one). Dunno about how well the ladybird one would fit but I'm a bit wary of buying another 'cheap' (or should I say unbranded) soft release. |

QUOTE(ricgan @ Mar 28 2012, 04:36 PM) i brought this for about a weeks edi , let me tell you what is the good and bad . IQ is indeed amazing. ISO3200 still looks great!good : 1.you will love its amazing photo quality and high iso performance for sure , my NIKON D80 cant even beat fuji iso performance , 1600 D80 start to wave white flag but fujifilm still provide a clean image somehow counted as no noise at all. 2.it's retro outlook will never fail to help you attract girl's attention , not only girl actually . Lol 3. Macro mode which you will never find in most of the kit lens of dslr .or you will need to get a lens which equal or even more expensive than x100 to get that function on your dslr. 4.hybrid view finder , seriously love it . bad: 1.if you're shooting during your trip you will need to non stop switching the shooting moide from macro to normal as the minimum focus distance in normal mode are 80cm. 2.F2.0 not so useful in macro mode as it affect the image quality , you'll see some shadow of your object if you shot in macro mode with greater than f4.0 . 3.i just dont understand why they dun wanna set the auto iso control iinto the quick fn button list but have to go all the way into menu list to turn auto iso on and off? 4. battery consumption , alots of ppl saying its consume battery very fast , but i am not so sure as i havent even finish my battery once since the day i bought x100. conslusion , if your budget allow , you can actually have both dslr and fuji x100, you'll love fuji for sure , but i believe dslr are still uselful to you as it's ability of changing lens . and i will love x100 even more if it can have a quick access menu like how the x-pro1 does. To get around the macro nonsense I usually use MF and set the AEL/AFL to on/off and use that to focus. That way no need to switch to separate macro mode. f2.8 still ok for macro but recommended based on lens test is actually f8 for macro. I don't really bother with the theory and find f2.8 perfectly acceptable to me. At first I also used Auto ISO and was frustrated by how difficult it was to turn on and off. Am waiting for the firmware update that puts the option on the fn ISO control. BUT.... you often hear photogs say that shooting with the X100 makes you think more about the process of shooting and for me I found it to be the case. I don't use auto ISO any longer and find it much better to manually set ISO from the fn button. With the firmware update I have the RAW set to toggle the ND filter which is awesome! I absolutely love my X100. It does have its flaws but you soon 'learn' how to use it. The IQ more than makes up for the other quirks. BUY, BUY, BUY!!! |

QUOTE(ricgan @ Mar 28 2012, 07:13 PM) thanks for you technique information about using mf , i didnt realise we can actually use it that way . I have always used the MF to bypass the need to press the macro button. Normally I set my AEL/AFL to lock just the focus then I can adjust exposure separately.i've tried that way just now,seriously need to use evf for macro shooting if not what you see from the ovf will be a big diff from what you shoot. Actually according to fujifilm itself , they recommend to use f4 onward for macro shooting. but i find f2.8 quite acceptable too. I find that I use the EVF most of the time as it is 100% accurate and also any changes to f or exp can be seen on the screen. Maybe been brought up in the digital generation. The OVF is beautiful but can't seem to trust taking the pic without knowing what it looks like first. Definitely EVF is a must for macro due to parallax error. dpreview did some test on the X100 lens. Quite interesting to find how well it performs at certain apertures. The one on f8 for macro is here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilmx100/16 |

QUOTE(bem69 @ Mar 29 2012, 10:26 AM) Yeah. I notice that also. Can't seem to focus within the MF focus box.... A quick check on the net and some people believe that the actual focus point has shifted down and to the right in this firmware update. I haven't tried it enough to comment but they may be right. Dunno why its like that......Some have suggested moving the AF box up and to the left. Again, have not tried it yet so dunno. |

QUOTE(kheng32 @ Mar 29 2012, 02:42 PM) hey peeps, im a new fujifilm x100 owner here The faster the better for the X100. Class 4 is really slow and makes the camera sluggish.i was wondering is there a need to upgrade my current Class 4 memory card to a faster one such as Class 10 SanDisk Extreme Pro 45MB/s or 95MB/s card? any significant difference for writing speed in JPEG/RAW shooting? i shoot in JPEG mainly btw. I was using a UHS-1 45 mb/s before switching to a UHS-1 95 mb/s definitely makes a difference. Added on March 29, 2012, 3:15 pmHow's this for some 3-d effect from the X100 f2.0? Looks more 3-d than a Leica Noctilux f0.95. This post has been edited by seech: Mar 29 2012, 03:15 PM |

If I get a battery for my precious X100 it'll definitely be original.
Don't shoot that much at one go so no issue. Just recharge every night if I have to. Haven't run out of battery during the day so far...l |

Congrats!!!
Did some testing with my X100 and indeed the focus point for MF is down and to the right of the focusing box. Moved the box up and to the left.... problem solved. Hope they fix this in the next update. |
