well done

Went to CamWorld in IOI Mall yesterday, I looked at the salesman and said, "X100S" he replied, "Cash or card?"

Anyway, the cost of X100S as mentioned by forummer here last time was RM3,390 but he quoted me RM3,400++ this time.

and XE-1 with 18-55 RM4,300.

a bargaining skill from me...

when u first ask the price from salesman, they will throw u a price based on their first sight at you (if u are a leng lui, you can get an even lower price )

then from there u keep on ask, got any freebies, cash price how much to show that you very interested... then here comes the most important part..

if you really plan to get from them and their starting price is good enough, pull a calculator from them to you and start pressing... round up a figure and tell them u straight take if price is agreed...

in my case, i bring my gf and i hide behind... wait my gf ask for the starting price, then i slowly come in and my gf fade out

i'm able to get my xe1 + 35/1.4 + Fuji original w126 for a total of RM4100... (talk until my mouth also thirst and dry )

Does it have 3x magnification. I normally take landscape and 10x seems rather excessive. Btw, I don't what will happen if I try to auto focus with a manual only lens. Will it jam or something?

YL Camera selling at RM3.9k, no?

Well perhaps our friend here happens to be a lenglui?

anyway, I thank you for the tips on "Art of Bargain", usually I won't ask for the best price, the first price would be the best price for me so men don't usually bargain much but not for the ladies.

RM4300 for X-E1 Kit is a bit overprice i think? should be below 4000 right? although not sure about the warranty anyone can advise me? planning to get X-E1 by this month

yes, it have 3 types of magnification and the most can go up to 10x

please remember i do take in an extra original battery which RRP at RM328...

it is up to you but i just want to save as much as i can... good luck for yr next purchase bro

ahh forgive me I musta have missed the battery.

between the f/1.4 and the new sensor, I just couldn't make up my mind now.

X-E1 has 3x and 10x magnification.

Same here... But i decided already...
New sensor now for x100s, later xe2 with new sensor then consider it with f1.4 lens... :-)

is ok bro... yah it is hard to choose...

but if x-e1s/x-e2 is here, i guess the choice wont be so hard anymore... good luck

They say that the spatial resolution of the current x trans and fuji glass is the same as full frame yo. You don't need the better sensor. I just bout My xe1 for 600 USD without lens. Now I'm looking for vintage lens.

Now it has something to do with the AF speed now.

As much as I want to believe in you but some links to your sources will be really much appreciated!

btw, not long ago I stumbled upon KB Photography (not sure if he's a forummer here ) but he has something to say when I asked his opinion on X100S:

Here you go. xe-1 has the same sensor and the same glass if you choose their xf fujinon lenses

Is autofocus speed really that important. People said that Olympus and Sony had better auto focus. Well I have the Olympus PL3 and the Sony Nex 5 with me now, doens't seem any faster or more accurate to me. People complained that the manual focus on the x100 was too retarded. I used it just fine and if it's retarded, then it's just as retarded on the PL3 and Nex. But use wired focus and I feel I need to do as many turns with the Nex as the x100.

In fact I've growned disillusioned with autofocus. Due to budget constraints, I'm just going to use manual focus lenses with my new xe1. Extra case is maybe going to a flash remote for my cheapo broken yongnuo 560II that I got off ebay.

And I can tell you, the button layout, design and menu layout is perfect in the x series for actually shooting in the real word. Nex lack of dedicated buttons and one button controls 3-4 functions is so ridiculous that I've packed it up again for sale. Just imagine, their all the buttons in the 4 way dial has two functions, the scroll wheel controls what is highlighted in the menu, the center button brings up 3 custom functions that can be switched left and right and then further fine tuned up and down. With the exception of Nex 6, there is no PASM wheel, and holy shit, there are 3 different info displays displaying three sets of information which you can scroll through. So autofocus speed.....hmm I don't think it's going to even feel any different on the x100s compared to previous models.

Oh and here x-trans smashes Canon EOS 5D MKII
