Fuji X100 sample images

media_1302944499262.png

We've had a Fuji X100 for a few days prior to reviewing for a print magazine, and the X100 is quite a camera to come to terms with. It's quite complicated in its nature, and takes days to become accustomed to its quirks and shortcomings (no camera is perfect but some are closer to perfection than others). We may get time to produce a concise review here, and if there are any questions we'll try answer them in the write-up. In the meantime, we've posted a few shots as an indication as to what you might be able to expect from the camera. The images are small unfortunately and can't be downloaded for viewing.

Fuji resume X100 production

media_1301386197033.png

Fujifilm halted production of the highly anticipated X100 compact after the Tohuku disaster on March 11. The company has a production line for the X100 located in Yamato, Miyagi Prefecture, close to the area of the destruction. But despite fleeting supplies of water and electricity from the imposed rolling blackouts, Fujifilm has confirmed that X100 production will go ahead. Whether that is in the same plant or outsourced using some of the equipment rescued from the production line, as some pundits have claimed, isn't clear at this time.
