[QUOTE="nippa, post: 51076, member: 209"] Here in the N Hemisphere (53N) the light levels are relatively weak so the white disk problem isn't affecting me as much as it will when I holiday by the sea next March. Although a great little camera in most respects , I don't want shots from my cruise ruined by sharp white blobs coming off the Ocean. The fact that Fuji says that those blobs are within their design parameters is a cause for concern. The fact they obfuscate the problem by comparing with other cameras ( mainly with CCD sensors ) is deliberate. The fact that they only plan a fix is no guarantee that a fix will appear. Yesterday my local John Lewis had the X100 in store for £750. My wife said go on treat yourself ( knowing I'd hankered after one for ages and my X1 is still in Germany ) but all I could think of was blobs and stuck aperture blades. Fuji are getting a reputation for poor QC. [/QUOTE]
