Poisoned by this camera, anyone can recommend a good place in Klang Valley that has a good deal on the x100?

Just got mine last Saturday. I totally adore this camera, the best I've ever owned. I love the low light capabilities. Now, I gotta get a UV Filter and adapter ring, fast. Anyone can vouch for Shashinki?

Anyone have the sticky aperture blades problem? How long does it take to service it via FujiFilm. The camera is amazing but this manufacturing defect is a big turn off.

Maybe, I just got mine with a 13M serial number. Perhaps the ones that are manufactured in 2012 are not prone to this I think. What's your shutter count like?

You're lucky, I wish my camera didn't have that problem. Anyway, sent it over to Fujifilm and they need to "verify" if what i'm saying is true. Hope to get a replacement.

Yep, of course, I'd say I have to adjust most of the pictures just a tad. Just like you say. A little off.

Just change the K temperature in WB settings. If not, I just use Lightroom. Most of the time, its Lightroom.

Probably, it works for me. Like I said, I'm no pro, I just adjust til I'm satisfied lol

Yeah, I end up using the EVF most of the time. Glad you like your X100, I miss mine.

Sniper, may I ask, what type of settings do you go with, for your street shots?

Hmm, for daytime street shots, what about focus? And do you shoot from the hip? For X100 that is. I particularly enjoy viewing through your BW street photography.

Oly XZ1? Ahhh, the first camera in my wishlist, didn't know how it changed to X100 lol. I read in the other thread its a great RAW shooter. +/- EV? When do you use that? Sorry, I'm still learning the X100, coming from the G7, its a big jump for me. I still wonder what's the difference of using exposure compensation compared to setting the aperture/shutterspeed to control exposure.

Nah, I just bought it, but it had the SAB problem, so its at the service center.

Great pics, liked your blog post. I just got my replacement today, and can't wait to do some shooting by the weekend. I liked that spiraling slide pics of yours.

I'm sure it won't, since you've taken a lot of pics.

Just be prepared for the SAB, its luck of the draw really, other than that, I have no issues with the camera, in fact I love it.

Haha not sure about that one, I just use the 8gb class 4 sandisk card I got for free. I didn't notice any slowdowns. Maybe someone else can answer that.

I got my replacement camera and happy to say that everything is working fine after about 800 or so shots. Great service from Fuji Glenmarie.

I have almost the exact same setup with you, except that I don't have that softrelease button, does that really help? if so, how?

Hahaha, thanks, but I'm looking for a red one. I thought it screws in tight? I guess it doesn't eh?

Yeah, red offers a nice contrast, but A&A strap so expensive lol, though I like that as well.
