The Fujifilm FinePix X100

Fujifilm has announced the X100, a large-sensor compact camera aimed at professional and enthusiast photographers. The classically-styled camera features traditional analogue controls for shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation. Of particular note is the new ‘hybrid’ viewfinder system which allows the user to switch between optical and electronic viewfinders and project detailed shooting information into the OVF.

    I know I shoot film, Deron, but, I was drooling over this yesterday. My hope is that they make it so stupidly expensive that I won’t have to ponder it!

    they may. but I think this is the direction things are going, so soon they may make the choice impossible!

    I’d love this as an additional toy, but, it wouldn’t tempt me digital. Never say never, but, I’m not close as yet.

    I still want this though.

    yeah, that’s what I meant, an additional tool.

    when someone makes one full frame with interchangeable lenses, I’m in. (and I guess Leica already does, but I don’t have 9k.)

    Yeah, full frame, interchangeable lenses that us mere mortals can afford would be nice. I sense it won’t be long.

    within the next two years I hope.

    I thought I saw a couple of references somewhere to a €1000 projected price.
