Mine came with bag.

Btw, for X-E1... When pressing the preview button to see pics... The front element of lens will move... Is it normal?

am going to get a XE1 with 35f14 for my brother...
but i read up a lot of review saying that this combination is not very suitable for fast moving subject (sports, kids etc)... is this true?

anyone can share some thoughts after update the firmware?

No bag with mine.

As for front element moving during playback, the front element will move back to storage position when you press the playback button. Yes normal.

XE1 or for that matter, any other contrast detect camera, not really meant for sports, etc. The way which contrast detect focusing works is unsuitable for that purpose. You need either a phase detect DSLR or wait for the new gen Fuji's with phase detection like the X100s. biggrin.gif

thanks for your feedaback... however, i was thinking of XE1 at first... which package should i get? i'm thinking of getting 35mm at first, and then get another 18mm later on... some ppl suggest me that get the kit lens as it didn't sell separately... but i'm more favour to prime lens actually...

as for x100s, hell it is just come at the wrong time  tongue.gif  due to the weaken currency of YEN and the arrival of x100s, probably XE1 price will drop even further when x100s is introduce in malaysia... i heard something that x100s will reach smmore around end of mar or mid apr... i really wan to try focus peaking/contrast focus of x100s  biggrin.gif 

at least x100s gives optical/electronic viewer, world fastest focus speed (WOW  drool.gif ), focus peaking features... but on thing kill it all, it is a fixed lens which can't be change  doh.gif

so at the end, im in dilemma... anyone got any idea when x100s will arrive?

It depends on your needs. I got my X-E1 w the 18-55 as I needed the IS and quiet internal focus motors for some video recording (instead of buying a dedicated video recorder).... But I was too tempted by the 35/1.4 so I bought that separately. The 18-55 works very well! Only problem is that the aperture isn't really wide enough for indoor available light photography which the 35/1.4 or my X100 does pretty well at. That said, the 35/1.4 is awesome! Decide what you need and choose.... Otherwise just get both!

As for X100s vs X-E1? Not really the same as X100s is fixed lens. Great camera but not as flexible. Again, down to your needs and preference. If you can wait, get a used X100 first then wait for the X-E1s/X-E2???? brows.gif
