Hi guys, for the owners of x100, question for you please.

I asked for a price for new unit RM2800 with 8GB card.

Does the price drop justifies buying x100 or the extra 1k+ worth the wait and upgrade of x100s?

Thanks for the tips. I can look further. But main question remained, is he new x100s justifies the extra RM1k+

tough choice. I agreed. dumping cash on a fixed lens camera that costs almost RM4k is almost "wrong" but i dont mind to have a good camera that offers lots of manual control, good IQ, fixed lens (no urge to splash extra cash for lens), and small enough to be carry around in a back pack without much burden.

hence the dilemma, but i think probably i could wait around another 16 days or so for some early review of x100s when reviewers get their hands on it.

then decide. Does all the latest firmwares really almost iron out 90% of the quirks ppl had with x100?

decided to wait around for x100s's review and the official price. if it's RM1k from x100 and justifiable, I could bite the bullet n go for it. ^^

nice shots by Jonathan Fleming :-

Makes the wait for x100s that much harder to bear... oh man oh man oh man...

Bro. I'm in the same boat as u. I've asked the same question a few posts back. General consensus would be new x100 should be around RM2.5k - RM2.6k range with memory card and Fuji original case.

I'm now holding off my temptation and waiting for x100s cos with the improvements and newer features, I don't mind to pay a bit extra.

guys, by little bit extra i put quotes there. which means, it should come up around RM1k plus.

for me, new one comes around RM2.6k from where I asked so if new one is around RM3.8k then we're looking at around RM1.2k difference.

If RM1.2k justifies all the upgrades for you with the new model, then i think it make sense to wait around. else, I guess x100 is a uber cool camera which you can grab now.

I just hope nothing major ruins the review of this highly anticipated camera for most of us. Keeping my fingers crossed for reviews

OMG... it reached our shores already??? how much? and the package content

finally.. after all these while...

my 1st pic taken with x100S before bed time... more to explore later on

sure thing, i bought it from Excel photo Penang.

They gave a very nice price of just below RM3.5k, with standard package (8GB SD card and Fujifilm leather case).

I traded in for 16GB sanddisk extreme by topping up RM50.

What worries me now is the lack of a proper method to attach a filter. From someone who owns a dslr, this is kinda worrying as the camera's only lens is built in. Anything happened to it is a nail in the coffin.

Either i buy the Fuji adaptor (expensive) to attach a 49mm filter or do the double filter method by sacrificing 1 filter and remove its glass then screwing 1 at the other end.

Funny thing though, i cant seem to unscrew the front ring open to test out. its very very tight without any grip.

Any advice?

Is that the original one from Fuji? And how much is it? By putting that up I think it's big enough and not fitting into the leather case, correct?

To be honest, I didn't ask as I didn't really care for the black version. I just called them up, they confirmed stocks are in, I just reserved a unit and grabbed it immediately after work.

Actually, didn't read that Fujifilm has released any full black version for now, or was there?

A few shots I've taken...




Still reading and exploring... something tells me, I'm gonna love it more and more as I get used to the handling.

well to be honest, I think the focusing feels fast. On par with my D90 I would say but sometimes there's definitely some hunting going on, particularly on high contrast area which is natural.

other than that, having not used a X100 before, I could not do any comparison but given the technology of phase + contrast, i would like to think it's definitely faster than its predecessor.

went out for some morning action today...

Macro test ^^



a bit soft on the corners when wide open at f2.0

A test of macro mode at f4

the macro is much more impressive the more I test it...

yep yep.. go easy with aperture.
