Fuji Finepix X100 : On the Way?
The Fujifilm Finepixl X100 will be familiar to those of you who love your old rangefinders and have been looking for a digital that is compact and has simple, manual-style controls. Since it’s annoucement last September, the X100 has generated a flurry of interest on the internet, but the actual release of the camera has been delayed several times.
Now, 6 months later, there are indications that the camera is about to be released. As of today, B&H photo has announced that they are now taking pre-orders for the Fuji X100. This is certainly no guarantee of an imminent arrival, but because B&H is one of the largest camera suppliers in the USA and is in frequent contact with all of the manufacturers, I take this as a reasonably good indication.
At $1199 the camera is not cheap, but it is considerably less expensive than it’s rangefinder cousin, the Leica M9 ($6995).
