Yeah I've already gotten used to the size :) It's a very very nice camera. White balance could be a bit more accurate, but apart from that it whoops my X100 in every way, especially usability! Looking forward to RAW support in LightRoom 3!

Mine just arrived too :) Going to compare it to my X100 and throw one away. I wonder if anyone will find such a comparison "unfair"... I personally don't have a problem with it - they're both cameras, and that's an end of it as far as justification goes :)

Sounds almost exactly like me kev! E-pl1 + 20/1.7 for me before I made the jump to the X100. Whilst I can guarantee you won't have problems getting used to the setup, I can't say you won't be back to m43... Case in point, my x100 is up for sale and I have a new g3 on order :) (i kept my 20/1.7...

You may need to adjust your clock to Australian time in order to see why...

On any other day of the year it would have been out of the box in seconds :)

WOOHOOOO!!!! Click to view full size!

getting firmly into the category of camera porn now with that video! importantly, fuji has resumed shipment of the X100 :)

Two very good reasons Ray! Most of us here in Australia aren't getting charged a cent until the camera is actually shipped, but if you have a much better use for the money in the meantime then both you and someone further down the line stands to benefit. I'd certainly like to see more of the...

I would say it is a design compromise rather than a design error. You can still go up or down a third of a stop for either shutter or aperture by using the black command lever at the top right. It's not as easy as having third- or half-stop increments in the shutter dial/aperture ring...

I've heard about this a couple of times - can you elaborate? In cameras with this problem, are the framelines in OVF mode just really inaccurate?

Well, one just went for US$2600! I believe that's over twice the recommended retail price. There's a potential for huge profit here alright! The camera's quirks better not annoy me too much or I'll be awfully tempted to jump on that bandwagon too!! :) (although not before carefully comparing it...

updated the initial post with current pricing info gleaned from the first few ebay sales. there's a substantial markup if you want one now!! also updated with info on reverse filter trick and AF speed etc.

his cost was way above the cost of my own order, so i wasn't interested in buying it :) quite happy to wait. the production unit is practically identical to the preview unit i played with 2 weeks ago, so i already know what to expect...

Unfortunately it looks like I missed out on Australia's first batch (which was reduced from 200 to 30). 2 of my friends have received theirs though, and one of them has put it straight onto eBay as there were a few too many quirks for him to handle...

my friend in australia just received his X100! Australia only received a partial first shipment for numerous obvious reasons, shops that sold at full RRP (AU$1300) seem to have gotten priority over the cheaper shops (AU$1100). unfortunately i belong in the latter category :(
