Fuji It keeps on calling my name ...

Hiya guys & girls

So for months and months i've been thinking about getting an X100.
I went away from the thought and came back a few weeks later thinking everytime i saw those beautiful x100 images on the web.
Of course the sexy X100 body attracts me too every time I see it.

The main reason why I didn't buy one earlier was the price , and the several problems (mainly sticky blades)

But the fuji X100 I will buy now is from a badge that was delivered in february 2012 , so it should be sticky blade free.

I know (trust me , I read way too many posts) the X100 isn't perfect, but it just keeps calling my name.
I don't mind super fast AF... that's what i'm gonna get a Canon 600D for :)

So one of the next days i'm gonna make an order for my X100.
(I'll get a free official fuji x100 leather case with it)
 
:( I feel for you. Here in the states we have a website that allows the tracking of when things are in stock...do you all have something similar?

Well other (online) stores have it in stock too at nearly the same price, but the t hing is, i want to be sure i have a 2012 model to avoid sticky aparture blades...
and no i'm not getting the black one :D , 1599 euro is insane

Hi :) welcome to forum, hope you enjoy your stay.

your post got my attention :D, are you saying Fuji has fixed the issue with sticky blade and all the new x100 will be fine now??
 
I too am feeling the pull of the X100!! The price in our store has gone down to £699 which is getting into the realms of possibility. 35mm is my fave focal length so I know I'll use it alot plus the IQ is stunning. Trouble is I have a GF2 and 20mm which I have only just got and I know I'll not use them if I got the X100. I think I'll borrow the demo X100 from work and have a play.
 
hahaha perhaps i should just stay out of this thread.. i will need some good meditating session control the urge if Fuji has really fixed the sticky blade issue. I really love the black one!

I have spoken to Fuji regarding the sticky blade problem and they said it only affected a small batch of units and they should have all been sold by now.

Good eh!

Yes the prices for the x100 seem to be dropping everywhere atm
maybe i should still wait a bit .. .? ;-)

i'm not sure 2012 models are sticky blades free, but the chance is bigger it will be then 2011 models.

I think the X100 is better valua at 699 gpb then an OMD at 999 (body) because the X100 is a great lens with a body attached
The OM5 won't be that much better then the EPM or EPL3 in image quality (xcept maybe at higher ISO)

The X100 is a totally different experience too I think

Yeah it is designed to serve a perpouse which may be a little limmiting for me?? The IQ may win though!! The OM-D looks to be fantastic but the price is shocking! I have a few M4/3 lenses so the sensible choice would be the Lumix GX1. I have the GF2 and always loved the GF1. I had the G3 which was fantastic but had to sell it as my PC died. I am now getting towards the position of getting something decent again and the GX1, X100 and OM-D are on my hit list. :2thumbs:
 
wow amazon uk has the price dropped at 699gbp too and the X10 at 379 !
good thing I didn't buy yesterday :-D
