Fuji's lenses are optically superb and rather cheap at their current price - and they do have a good reputation for making lenses although it is not well known to hobbyists - they make lenses for medium format and many big hollywood movies are actually shot on fujinon lenses. They have the...

thanks for the detailed explanation, jon. that is a very interesting feature, looking forward to more sample pictures with the lens when it's actually out.

more details about the lens : http://japancamerahunter.com/2012/09/the-ms-optical-sonnetar-50mm-f1-1-mc/#more-5792 Finding the above excerpt extremely interesting, although I'm not too sure how it works out technically. Any experts on the theory? :confused: Does this have to do with the focus...

Gadget curiosity got me into RF photography. I started off using a old Nikon PnS during uni days, and even though I was never quite satisfied with compacts, DSLRs felt too bulky (and expensive to me) at that time, so I never started using a DSLR save for the times when I played around with DSLRs...

@film bot Thanks for calling up and clarifying it. At least we know now that fuji Singapore is doing the same for the x100s in Singapore.

Yes, Fujifilm has replaced my camera instead of repairing it - for what reasons, I don't know. And yes, I have the extended warranty, and I still have about 2 years on it; honestly speaking, I am not worried for my own case. To answer your question. 1. Fuji will repair the SAB repairs FOC while...

keep in mind that for the fujifilm x10 orb issue, fujifilm is replacing sensors free of charge - for an issue that doesn't show up all the time. it doesn't hamper the camera's ability to take photographs as much as a SAB does to the x100, and yet the x10 pretty much gets a blanket replacement...

Mostly regarding hardware problems, I'd agree with you - for computer parts that out of of warranty, repair costs are applicable and I find that reasonable. If my hardware fails, I'd just pay for repairs if the fees are reasonable or get a new unit. However, in the case of the x100 SAB issue...

You should probably write in and complain to the higher management. I'm not too sure about the accuracy of the information, but I had frequented dpreview forums in the past and where the SAB is concerned, the fujifilm service centers have been reported to repair the SAB free of charge that has...

if its EVF only, Fujifilm had better be using better EVFs like those found on the nex7 or OMD. Otherwise.... -.-" Quite excited by the pictures, but it all comes down to the performance and most importantly, price point.

Hi, say I want to get an external flash for the x100 for bouncing off surroundings, other than the official EF42, any suggestions for alternative models to pick? I would get the EF-42 if its the best choice in it's price range, but just wanted to get opinions on possible alternatives that's...

I want 1. actual, mechanical, tactile, manual focus. 2. even faster and more accurate AF speeds. 3. faster menus (even changing iso on the fly has a little bit of lag time, but its tolerable) 4. eh.... faster write speeds without having to buy the best sd cards? 5. higher res and lower latency...

X Pro1 is nice definitely (I wish I could afford it without selling off my RD1 :cry:). But it doesn't yet have a 35mm EFL (yet to be released), which is seems to be the main reason for why the x100 is being considered along with the voigtlander 35mm.

Bloody good summary of the 2 cameras. TS, it's obvious that this isn't about the technical specifications, but rather what you desire. Pick either one and shoot, both are capable cameras. I agree its a nice price. But then comes the accessories. Extra batteries, a new strap, a soft button...

Actually, I'm leery of what constitutes as 'better' images - imo the photographer's skill plays a bigger part in that once the camera hits a certain level of competency, and both cameras in question here are certainly competent. But that aside, in terms of sharpness, lens characteristics, that...
