cant understand why they need to make a separate adaptor to fit the hood and filter
will the lens cap still fit with the hood on?

Fujifim Malaysia website never even mention this model yet but Singapore and Thailand already selling it. We are always last

In Thailand, the price is around rm3300.

taiwan came out already? prices how?

damn, whole day Ive been thinking about x100 x100 x100

how is the AF speed and overall speed? write to card speed? like after you press the shutter button, how soon again can you press it again, etc? if its anything like GF1 I am happy already

I heard there is some lag using the menu system as well

It doesnt have full auto? Are you sure?

Now I'm confused. What is "full auto"? Not PASM?
Thanks

Thanks!
Tell us what don't you like so far about the camera

Guys if the price is rm3,888 but it includes the original leather case and the hood. Do you think it's a good deal.

I think b&h selling the case and hood for usd$129 each

I bought but I'm not happy. Will cerita more later as I'm driving home now

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.

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.

dont worry la, Im only the first person that bought it, plenty left

This Fujifilm Malaysia really dont know what they are doing or wants to do. I feel that they dont have a solid plan on pricing and marketing this X100. Their No.1 priority is short term profits

So far not too bad. I'm more familiarized with the menu system now. The AF can be touchy. Not able to focus on less contrasty objects but ok not too bad. First time I'm using an APS-C sensor camera so the high ISO plus the f2.0 is a big jump in speed for me. I set it to speed priority for indoor candid shots and it came out not too bad. Something that my GF1 can't do without added noise or blur.

There is a Led indicator which I find my thumb hiding it all the time. Maybe I'm holding it the wrong way. The battery can take up to 200 mins to charge up which is very slow since it's a small battery. Now I'm trying to figure out if I can put on a filter and hood together. I hope so.

i have to agree with xLegato

the GF1 is way faster that you can fire a shot and go for the next shot immediately. yes you even get to view the shot in no time. The x100 is faster than the Pen imho in this respect.

The manual focus takes too many turns to get where you want to go but try this - press the AEL/AFL and it will autofocus for you enough to be almost there.

yes the wheel feels too flimsy/ and the selected menu will switch off in mere seconds if you dont make a choice. there is no adjustment for this. the lumix GF1 can configure things way much better. it takes getting used to the wheel.

yes i think there is room for improvement but so far its still not too frustrating yet. I will give it a better test on my coming trip

i was told about rm200.

btw i read in another forum that x100 can be bought in penang for about rm3200 only. even without the leather case, this is cheap

sorry no idea. try asking in clubsnap. i saw it there

That bunch of LIARS at Fujifilm Malaysia is not to be trusted.

When I first bought my x100, I told them I wanted to buy two and will come back from my trip then only pickup my other set or when I collect the leather case - which ever comes first.

I even called Robin (sales supervisor) after I reached home to remind him cause I know this will be a hard to get item. He promised me will keep one aside and put my name on it.

Ok so I got back from my vacation a week later, called him up and he tells me to wait for next shipment cause no stock. WTF??? Ok nevermind tahan sikit.

So today I went collect my leather case, I asked about buying my second x100 and he told me still no stock. Asked to speak with his boss - Kevin and this Robin says he is not back yet. No more than 1 minute later, out walks Kevin from his office. What a farking liar! So I gave both a piece of my mind.

Seriously the way they do business - not trust worthy at all. Even when buying the first x100 that time, they tell me includes hood and filter adaptor, go until there none. Then say only filter adaptor then can talk until becomes none also when my wife and even Robin heard that it includes the adaptor.

I like the camera but dealing with Fujifilm Malaysia leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

which artisan strap did you buy for RM100? Cannot be fully leather right for this low amount? I see their cotton strap lowest price pun RM150 already. Thanks
