Many people buy is good. When the X200 comes out, there will be good bargains and i can try and do some harvesting but then again, maybe the X200 would be so much better I will hold off again . Afterall, there is rumour that the X200 may have interchangeable lens.
If it is interchangeable, the most logical thing to do is to wait for the lens that will go with it. When there is more support, then having that system would be better in terms of lens choice and perhaps cheaper in the long run. By then I would think it would be x400.

The X100 has pretty nice bokeh at F2.8
ISO 800, F2.8, 1/160s
Nice shot. Time for coffee!!
u must buy an adapter separately ..... the adapter is sold as one .....alternatively you can buy the hood which comes together with the adapter as a set ....but i think the accessories are not in yet ....anyone knows where i can get the original casing LC-X100 ???
Thanks, alanyeo !

For those who wants to check out ISO6400 shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/terakopian/sets/72157626123945847/with/5519784280/
Jon: You really need that lens adaptor to come first before slapping 42mm CPL to the camera.
Alan: Casing? The original one? I guess should come together with the lens adaptor (just guessing)

the high ISO performance on this sensor is nothing short of amazing

But what about image quality?agreed the best 10x more superior to my gf1 but D700 still my fav...X100 honestly rocks and having the leica X1 I find the X100 superior on many grounds especially focusing speed glad i made the buy
How about doing a one-to-one comparison of shots taken with both the X1 and X100 of a bright and low-light scene respectively since you now have both cameras.
That would be great, I'm also looking forward to one-to-one shots from the Fuji X100 and Leica X1.
almost order from amazon japan until the tsunami quake think delivery is quite impossible at this moment ....without casing it is different to bring camera out .... think have to wait for harvey norman case then ....
I did a test at ISO6400 without tripod
f2,1/44
f2, 1/24

THAT is at ISO6400? :bigeyes:
The x100 really puts most, if not all the cameras using APS-C sensor in the market to shame

spent the weekend shooting this camera, a couple of personal conclusions
at f/2, the lens does have a more classic rendering - sharp, with a slight blurring haze. great for portraits.
at f/2.8 onwards, it is completely sharp, yes it can blur the background nicely at f/2.8 too... i think the Leica X1 lens has more contrast
the lens is sharp. edge to edge, for all practical purposes, it is a great high performing fixed lens. I'm sure pixel peepers will be able to find that there's some CA and edge softness, but I haven't seen them so far.
colors are nice! response from various folks have remarked on the beauty of the color palette, typical of fujifilm.
short of the leica m8/m9/x1 that is properly utilized, this camera has the highest image quality of any compact point and shoot camera that i have used in my life.
wide open, the maximum shutter speed is 1/1000s... so had a few over exposed shots in my eagerness to use maximum aperture on everything.
the in built neutral density filter is really powerful, i think it seems like its 3 stops or something. only thing is that its not automatic - you have to enable it in bright light and disable it in low light. otherwise you'll be getting 1/5s indoors at f/2.
it is very light, easy to carry around, solidly built and everyone thinks of it as a cheap vintage film camera and are totally surprised when they see an LCD screen at the back.
focusing at close distances (for me at least) is a little bit tough, it seems like on regular AF mode, the optimal distance is around 0.7m (like a Leica!) and at macro mode, the closest I've managed to come is around 5 inches with some difficulty. yes, there is a manual focus, but because the "lens" is so small, its easier said than done.
If you wish to, you can set it to be auto-everything, specifying the auto-ISO constraints, setting A on the shutter speed dial and the aperture ring. The fact that you can flick in between the OVF/EVF and the LCD is an added plus for non experts in using the camera.
