Added on March 24, 2012, 10:33 amyup , i totally agree with that , before i decide to get x100 , i was actually considering gf3 and alots of other model .
x100 never fail to hold my attention for at least a minute every single time i walk pass the camera shop nearby my house .
i remember x100 were still selling around RM3880 few months ago , to be honest its a lil too pricy for me .
when i almost give up to get x100 , i saw a seller in lowyat selling the full new set @ only RM3200 with leather case and memory card.
i then decided to sell of my Samsung NX100 and get my favourite compact king the FUJI X100

hi, may i know how do you differentiate between the truly original and the third party case?
as my seller told me , that was a orignal from fujifilm .



btw , do you use the original chain ring come with the leather case for the strap ? i've tried again and again to chain it on my camera body but its just to hard for me to 'open it's mouth' . lol, so at last i gave up using it and i took the original strap's ring to replace with it.

here are some of my random testing photo .

thanks for your information bro , however 3200 with a oem leather case, 8gb , screen protector and a card reader , seriously its worth .

btw , have you get the lens hood and extra battery ?

i am considering to get a JJC lens hood which cost me around rm130 and a extra oem battery RM60.

try chk out on lelong.com.my . a seller name newspeed is selling it . or are you interested to get from china ?1pcs around RM30 + RM16(rm10 from china , rm6 for local postage ) postage .arrive within 13 working days , i am ordering , if you want i will post it to you when i get the battery .

Added on March 25, 2012, 2:16 amhi , i am gonna order the battery from china RM30 per pcs , +Rm16(RM10 from china rm6 local postage ) . are you interested to get one also ?



according to the battery itself , its a 2600mah , but somehow i doesnt believe on the mah , i think most probably its 1600 or 1800mah only.

to be honest , i dont think the manual focus of x100 a useful function compare to DSLR or some of the model of mirrorless model.
i need to turn soo many round of the ring to get from infinity to the minimum focus range .

i mean like its okay if you're just using it sometime for fun .but not daily usage like how i can use on my dslr.

so i think i will prefer the auto focus mode more.

Added on March 25, 2012, 2:38 pmi've tried it as well , same things happen to my x100 so its either the bug of the firmware or smth , hope fuji will fix it with a firmware update real soon .

Same thing here i doesnt understand that .but since everyone saying that 1.2is better i upgraded yesterday after confirm that my x100 work well and placing the screen protector .

haha , why so despo for a ladybird one?

maybe you could e-mail shshinki and ask them to order for you

i agree that they are selling a lil more pricy than the others , but no dount that they're seriously professional and have alots of stuff.
around 60 to get a soft release i dont think it worth the price seriously . haha

Added on March 26, 2012, 11:32 pmwhy not ? i got no $$$$ bro

Added on March 26, 2012, 11:34 pmyeah , i love to shop for camera in hong kong too , they have ton of new model and accessories which you rarely see in msia.

actually u need to go to Apliu Street , in cantonese there's a duck word in its name only you can get a cheaper price of eletronic product including camera.
last time i went there i stay in wong kok , there got plenty of camera shop and i was looking for a D80kits and it actually selling @RM4000 there in hk when malaysia is selling it @RM3600 only . soo in conclusion , i agree that its more expensive than msia but they have much more accessories than what we have in malaysia .

haha , dont worry about the warranty la . once you come bak to msia unless its a international warranty or else even u buy original product which provide only national warranty also also no use. unless you willing to go bak to hk just to claim the warranty . ahha

i brought this for about a weeks edi , let me tell you what is the good and bad .
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.

thanks for you technique information about using mf , i didnt realise we can actually use it that way .
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.

Added on March 29, 2012, 2:28 pmi dont know if you notice but our fren has mentioned about it few post before this , in mf mode , there's a bug which cause the camera to hang when you try to AEL focus at the right edge . so no matter how we still need to wait for a firmware update to make x100 work 100% perfect

change to a class 10 30mb/s is already fast enough .

if its convenience for you , i suggest you to go lowyat for a better price .but of coz , do some survey before going .you know where the range of price edi then wont get cheat so easily.
ask a few shop to compare their price before buying .
good luck getting one
