Fujifilm X100


This looks like a very fine camera.

Back in the analog days you bought a roll of film with a certain ISO/ASA and you controled the exposure using the arperture ring on the lens and a shutter speed dial on the body.

The Fuji X100 will allow such simple and straightforward photography again. You can switch between an optical and an electronic viewfinder mode. The shutter release is threaded for use with good old manual shutter release cables. A ND filter is integrated.

Not much has been revealed about it's movie mode. It will be 720p @ 24 fps. I hope it will have a high bitrate 4:2:2 MJPEG codec but most likely we will see h264.

At $1000 I will take a close look when it is available in March 2011.
