Hello Fuji Sifus, I am thinking of giving up DSLR photography (sick and tired of lugging all my gear around) and get a Fuji X100 or X100s. Any X100 users here who have upgraded to the X100s? I was thinking of getting either the X100 + WCL or X100s, which would probably come up to the same price. Is the "s" worth the "WCL" or vice versa? Which is more worth it?

Hmmm, seems like RM3390 is the lowest price I have seen by far.

Whiteminic, does this price include anything else?

Anyone here found anything lower than this?

Haha, yeah, I guess I am gonna start hunting for an X100. Any idea what the market price is right now for a brand new one? Has it or has it not dropped with the release of the X100S? I do see a lot of people scrambling to get rid of their X100 but still wanting ridiculous prices for them.

For those of you interested in looking at side-by-side comparison shots between the X100 and X100s in different modes, check this out:

guys...wannna ask where can get x100s now? around how much for the street price?

Adding to neo_lam's post, has anyone been to the Fuji retail outlet at Menara Axis? I would assume they would be selling the cheapest, since the middleman (camera shops) would be cut out. I'm looking for the best price also, either the X100 or X100S (argh, still friggin' torn between them).

RM3,390 from previous posts, I think it's a good bargain.
X100S for the new sensor (for crisps and speed)!  icon_rolleyes.gif

Then again, it's up to you whether want to get the boost of speed, it will be certainly helpful depending on what kind of photography you're taking.  smile.gif

Speed in terms of? If it is the AF, I have read that the firmware updates on the X100 has improved the AF tremendously. Can someone here who has experience with both the X100 (with the latest firmware) and X100S tell the difference between their AF speed/accuracy?

Well, I finally got the x100S, and got the wide angle adaptor to go with it. Low light focusing is better, but still hunting. HOWEVER, manual focusing has improved like 100 times and this feature alone makes it more than worth it especially with  focus peaking and phase detection.

Where and how much did you buy them for?

Hi guys, I just got my X100S and have no idea what to buy to protect the lens (the guy at the camera shop said an adapter ring is required and they did not have it). Any advice? I'd rather not get the hood so that I can use the leather case, though. Will a UV filter suffice? What size?

Anyone here can recommend a decent filter or do you all let the lens naked?
*
Mine's still naked cuz' I wanna continue using the leather case. Haven't tried the 2 UV filters in reverse method yet. Maybe when I can find a cheap 49mm filter to break, then I will.

Anyway, I realized that the optical viewfinder's frame isn't precise, actual photo shows more at the sides. Is this normal? Tried to Google but can't seem to find anything. Apparently, what you see is what you get.

same here, dust particle in the viewfinder too... icon_question.gif
asked the fuji boss edi, the viewfinder is not completely air tight, so dust can enter though...but the lens should not have dust in it lar, said can sent to Glenmarine for cleaning service
*
If the camera is under warranty, is it free to clean? Mine came with a dust party going on between the "blades", whatever you call it.
