Hi Laudrup
Manual focus is fine on still subjects but I take alot of pics of little people and they won't keep still while I manually focus.
I'm a bit gutted I bought it so soon wish I'd waited for the better version now cos I will probably struggle to sell it

Mine arrived and I am very happy with it. Sold my DSLR equipment and decided to get something small, light which still gives DSLR quality images and I am not disappointing. I agree its shortcoming might be fixed lens but to be honest I hardly ever shoot anything in the telephoto range so I don't mind taking a few steps back or forward to get closer or further away from my subject. One thing that is nagging me, on my D700 I could easily change between auto focus shooting where it select the point of focus or turn the rear dial to select the focus point. I can only change this feature through the menus of the X100, anyway to do it on the fly? I know u can assign it to the fn button but I have assigned that to ISO.

Phoned them today. They had some come in and have reserved one for me Now, to explain this need to the mrs.
I currently own a Panasonic GF1, with both the 20mm and 14-45mm lenses and the EVF. Although I'm very happy with the GF1, having read the reviews, I'm very tempted by the X100. I rarely (if ever) use the 14-45mm lens, so the lack of interchangeable lens on the X100 doesn't bother me. Has anyone followed the same (GF1 to X100) path? If so, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Many thanks...
Why not wait and see what happens here http://www.eoshd.com/content/4168/high-end-panasonic-mirrorless-will-be-gfx1
There's always something more exciting in the future
Not wanting to upset any owners and not tried one myself but I was watching a Kelby show on the net the other day and THIS is what they thought about it.
As a side note I love my fuji bridge cameras.....
The X100 bit starts at 53:20 and is a rather interesting watch
Just ordered another x100..... really hope I don't regret it.
Should be with me tomorrow so I'm officially a happy chappy.
Yeah, but for how long?
Was so tempted to pick one of these up but after reading about the blade problem I think I'll look elsewhere.
I don't really get that logic.
Fuji have accepted there is an issue and will repair it at no cost to you within 3 days (from what others are saying). I don't see it as a big issue at all. Other manufacturers have these issues on occasion, it's how they deal with it that counts and I've read nothing but good reports about Fuji's handling of the problem.
