This rangefinder-esque cam packs a 12.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, and it's obviously designed to go mano-a-mano with Micro Four Thirds and the slew of other mirrorless / interchangeable lens compacts that are hitting the market. Aside from supporting 720p movies, boasting an EXR processor and shipping with a 23mm F2 Fujinon lens, this new handheld includes a Hybrid Viewfinder that enables users to toggle between optical and electronic viewfinders and display intricate shooting information right into the OVF.

There's also a 2.8-inch rear LCD, a hot shoe on top and a magnesium alloy top / base plate that might be the sexiest we've ever seen on a camera in this sector. Low-light shooters will appreciate the ISO range of 200 to 6400, and there's also 5fps continuous shooting, a full-on manual mode, SD / SDHC / SDXC card support and dimensions of 127- x 75- x 54mm. Something tells us a lot of to-be DSLR buyers will be shifting to this far more portable alternative when it drops in early 2011... provided it doesn't cost a small fortune, of course.

Hmm is the lens interchangeable on this one? Sources never state anything about it though.

the cam im waiting for,..oly and pana can say bye2.

it's a x1 rival...a compact with a large APS-C sensor..hopefully the price will much more affordable than the leica

this can't even change the lens. You can say bye bye to ur self instead.

i want this camera...

very classic camera....

a leica competitor?

Super nice cam. Looks so super sexy too. IQ should be damn good with Fuji's reputation for good sensor n glass. Sumore this is a nice 35mm f2 n APS-C sensor. Wouldn't mind having one in my old junk camera collection. Hehe.

i tod d lens is 23mm f2? yea cmos sensor very attractive ..hope it wun cost more than RM2k

23mm in FF format is about 35mm ma.

Looks awesome, hope its less then 2k.

The lens is fix, not interchangeable.

Leica X1 cheaper alternative..? Direct competitor it seems.

No way it would be that cheap, Fujifilm KLASSE W 28mm F2.8's selling for RM2975, just for starter. 23mm on 35mm equv. would be 35mm.

Don't you worry you might mistaken it with the film/old rangfinder and just cast it aside and forgot about it?

i dunno about the olden days..but is fujifilm on par with leica?

dpreview release the spec adi

oh yes my bad it is 35mm in ff

Where can fight Leica la. U all dreaming or what? Those who buy Leica will still buy Leica. All these other brands is for the people whose wallets r not as fat only. Would u buy a Camry when u can afford a Mercedes?

Actually this camera's vintage look really caught many people's eyes.

But for the price, not too sure but according to this site (http://yutori2ch.blog67.fc2.com/blog-entry-1899.html), it stated:

2011年春に12万～15万円で製品化する。
Coming in 2011 Spring: 120k - 150k yen

if convert then is more than rm4k already. But note that this camera is "high class" camera.

fujinon glasses are currently being used by hasselblad for their H series...

i wish the camera will cost less than rm 3000... then i will buy

it's a nice camera... no bells and whistles. just a classic 35mm lens no zoom nothing. syiok arr

hmmm..if its priced the same as a Leica...why would anybody buy it?

anyway..got any pic samples?

I don't need to worry actually, coz I can't afford it.
I'll just continue using my old junk cameras.

Added on September 20, 2010, 5:26 pmYa man. 35mm f2, aperture ring, ol skool styling, really syiok.




where got same price? U know how much the Leica X1 is or not?


This post has been edited by ianho: Sep 20 2010, 05:26 PM

hahahaa
even if it's half the price of the X1, i won't buy the fuji edi

ooops..refering to the D-Lux series..should be 3k plus right?

D-lux is not APS-C sensor..my bad...

RM7500 for X1 from Shashinki

U get a camera without optical zoom? hmm.. interesting to me, why would you want that?

Development Announcement Catalog PDF here: http://finepix.com/x100/en/pack/pdf/x100_English_0906.pdf

inside got some picture shot

ermm, none of my optics can be zoomed. i don't see any problems with that

haha i rather spend the 3k to buy lens XP

but yes, 35mm lens definitely is nice to bring out for casual use plus the size not as bulky as dslr (but still not pocketable)

I'm a noob in photography, what's the advantage of having no zoom on optics?

you don't buy a leica because its worth it. you buy a leica because its a leica.

sharper pics? especially on such small glasses in compacts.

Buy the new all black Leica X1 coming out 2moro.

oppss my bad.
no zoom lens aka prime lens gives better image quality. some can argue on this but well... lenses like this has lesser distortion too.

as for me, i prefer prime lens because of the lesser distortion. and i find that even if i would to use a zoom lens, i don't zoom it but rather i walk front / back so for me it's a waste of time and effort in using a zoom lens. 2nd reason is there is no zoom lenses for the type of camera that i am using (large format camera)

i do not like to waste time in zooming. i rather waste time in looking at the scene and composing a good image. i am used to this method of photographing things.

that's why i prefer a non zoom / prime lens

What ifer is saying is that he don't waste time buying el cheapo lenses.

Err ... how to focus with this camera ah ? No rangefinder, no Autafocus how how?

hahahahaa
don't say that...
but don't you think that it's nicer to work with a prime lens?

fixed 35mm or 50mm on a camera... i don't have to worry about the camera and lens anymore, i spend more time looking at a scene and *snap*
very henri cartier-bresson like

An upgrade from my current system? Probably =P

It's not a system, and definitely not an "upgrade". From (for example) EPL1 to Oly E-5 then it's an upgrade. X100 is more of a sidekick, backup for Dslr.

Depends on how you look at it. Almost all the specs are better than E-PL1.

Fixed Focal Length meaning that you only have a standard focal length range? let's say 0.1 ~ 10m, beyond or or below that would be out of focus?

Very very sexy looking camera
Wonder how much will it be selling

means is a prime lens

X100 price is out. Same as Leica X1 price.

wow that expensive!! then rather go the micro 4/3 way.. size about the same also..

do you even know what is a rangefinder or not ?

Means cannot zoom. Angle of view is fixed. So zoom with your feet lorr.

Added on September 21, 2010, 9:20 amYes. I think normally there are two windows and a mirror mechanism which makes two separate image coincident. I don't see two windows on this camera. Unless it uses an electronic ranging system, well I dunno.



This post has been edited by HiroBoroi: Sep 21 2010, 09:20 AM

some people can't differentiate cannot zoom and cannot auto focus.

Wah! Same price? U can get Leica X1 at USD1700???

dunno...the news said yes...kakakaka

X1 retail price is rm7999 which is $2500+ la. Where can get X1 so cheap at $1700?

Now that the X100 is out, I'm just wondering whether the Leica X1 is actually a Fuji camera with Leica red dot pasted on. Maybe not as obvious as the PanaLeicas but still, makes me wonder . Watever you decide to buy, could still end up with Fuji. Mua ha ha ha.

X1 no EVF how to be same thing ler. Anyway, all these wannabe cameras lauya 1 la. Everybody go out n buy Leica M9 Titanium!!!!

kesian for those who don't have enough money like you la uncle ianho...unless u want to sell ur M9 at garage sale... (for less than rm3000)

Unker Ian,

With deep regret and much sorrow ... I must confess that to my naked eyes, the Mao Mao Leica is much prettier than the new M9 titanium . Prolly last longer too. I think they source the M9 red dot from Hong Kong plastic toy factory.

haha, dunno.. the news say so... but price check:
http://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B002NX13QC

USD1995

still cheaper than the X1...

leica never work with fuji.
it's hasselblad that work with fuji.

and this camera is an autofocus camera... not a manual focus.

leica M9 is a love <3

but not a poor man hobby..sigh..back to my lomo cam T_T

with the money to buy M9, i can pay downpayment to own a b-segment car already

From Wiki.

p/s - I think this Fuji connection is coming from Erwin Puts' blog. Also I think Leica is working with a whole slew of manufacturers (chips, sensor, shutter, memory etc etc). Don't think they divulge all info.

woah geng... to go to the extend of wiki-ing

thanks for correcting my mistake

From Japan sources of 120,000 yen to 150,000 yen roughly will convert to USD1,400 to USD1,700.

Hmmm.. pricey.

Eh so sorry la bro,

Thousand apologies. I'm always curious (kay po chi) . So google and wiki larr. I think ya la, X100 got AF . X1 also got AF . What the hell made me think this is all manual focus camera.

more picture here: http://enticingthelight.com/2010/09/19/fuj...this-come-from/

GOOD NEWS!

Fujifilm's FinePix X100 ships March 2011 for $1,000

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/21/fujifil...00-we-go-hands/

Fuah! seeing my lekturer got own'd, priceless !hahah

Around RM3k I suppose...reasonable if you ask me.

My pants are soooo wet that I need pampers. Does it manual focus?

i think more than RM4k is the $1000 stays true.. add the tax and charges..

yup X100 can manual focus..

RM3k is reasonable for APS-C camera... now its getting more interesting if it drop down to RM2k...

no tax for cameras la...

yesh wait it till drop 2k XP

OMFG, this camera is so sexy~!Can't wait for it to hit Malaysia

you got to give credit to him for going all the troubles in checking the answer and highlighting it in red in order to show that i am in the wrong here

ifer,

Why your student so notty ah? Ok guys ... lets move on. Nothing else to see here.

p/s - Next time I will remember not to use big big red font. Now my face oledi red with embarassment. Sheesh.

hahaa hiroboroi, my that student is older than me wan...

http://photorumors.com/2010/12/13/qa-on-th...ix-x100-camera/

and black will really look nice (photoshopped)

http://photorumors.com/2010/11/28/a-black-...be-even-better/

if the black one really comes out i'd probably buy one to replace my S90 as my 'light' camera

this is so tempting!

=P

Leica

U oredi red dot la. What toking u?

me eyeing on the black x-1 but love to have viewfinder, the current view finder on x-1 is just a frameline if not mistaken.

When I saw this camera, I can almost cry! Too good to be true! Now if only it's around RM3000. Time to save up

1000 euro.. not really cheap man

I wonder if they are gonna make some conversion snap on lenses for this camera?
