I’ll be frank, I’m not a fan of talking about camera gear. I like talking about photography. I shy away from talking about various camera bodies, lenses, flash units, filters, or whatever else can be talked about under that umbrella. I like discussing the process of photography to get to a desired result. A camera […]
A few months ago, I was lucky enough to have been able to get my hands on the illusive rangefinder-esque and retro throwback designed Fuji X100. Since then, I’ve fell in love with the camera completely. I’ve never owned a camera which I get as much enjoyment from shooting as I do with the X100. Every photographer […]
Some great pictures there from your X100. Are these taken in RAW or JPG and did you do much PP with them? I love my X100 as well and my heavy DSLR gear has collected dust the past months since I got it 
Holy crap… am I in love with your camera! I have an Fuji from 1985 that looks just like it, and the photos you have shot with the x1000 looks amazing! I’m totally jealous 
You’re so cool. tee hee
Linhbergh, your pictures are awesome as always. Wether you’re in the race track or not, I respect. How did you Post Process your photos till it achieved to that color? It’s so nice. I’ve always wanted to know how’d you get blue skies as well.
Excellent review. I’m going for this camera and I can live with slow focusing speed in exchange of excellent photos . Had Nikkor Matt , Oly Om1, those were days . Would look forward to a complete manual D SLR though or a rangefinder from Nikon maybe .
Awesome snaps…It’s gr8…interested to buy it..but due to my educational expense can’t anymore ask 4 it to dad & mom……but not to worry once i wil be an ias i wil definately go for this camera
Very nice X100 shots – I’m looking forward to the fuji X-pro 1 coming out soon – do you think you will be getting one?
thanks for writing a non-technical review!
Reading one review – for example at dpreview, – and this one gives me a complete picture:)
Great review, sir! I was actually interested in one after I watched the review that DigitalRev made. I’m glad you were honest in the pros and cons of the camera and I have to admit that I’m quite disappointed in the focusing issues that plague this camera. I think I might just save up a little more and get a Leica X1.
Perfect! How are ya man. Nice to see a review that doesn’t yammer on about what each button is made off and how it can see into the fourth dimension or something ( though that would be pretty damn cool).
Anyway, It was the same problem when I used the X100. It felt good, awesome, amazing, almost like the feeling I got when I used either an M6 or a Mamiya 7, the problem was I like to shoot fast, and I really really wished it focused well on manual, cos I knew it was gonna be borderline murder on autofocus, but it wasn’t the case.
Oh well, I guess like you said, this is early days. I love my Nikon D200. It feels good, It’s my good luck charm, part of my arm and all that jazz, but goddamn is it a hassle to use sometimes. I just want to take a picture, thats all, so having a billion options isn’t something I really bother with these days. I miss the simplicity of the film days, and that’s what you seem to give the impression off. It’s a completely different experience.
You’ve changed my mind a bit on my early experiences with this camera. Hit us up with more images you take with it. Thanks for the write up.
Excellent review Linhbergh, and much appreciated as well as I had been meaning to ask you about this camera. i’m currently in the market for a point and shoot myself and this was one of my potential picks. After reading your review though, i think i may end up with the Panasonic Lumix LX5, despite how gorgeous the Fuji is aesthetically. Thanks again buddy!
Nice review man, it was really fun to read!.
After taking a look at the samples and the ergonomics, it seems like a really nice daily camera to carry, i’ve lost a lot of nice shots cause i don’t like to carry my d90 all day, its tiring!.
Great honest review, I couldn’t agree more. The X100 comes with its quirks, but it changes everything. Stunning photos of the X100, it looks right at home!
Nice “review”. I like how it’s _not_ technical.
Can you say how long that strap is? Looks like a really comfy length.
I finally got to play with this today. I wanted to stab the manual focusing in its eye and butt at the same time. The aperture ring felt off too — I feel like if the focusing ring was useable, the bumps on the aperture ring would just get in the way. But I think you have it right, it’s the best looking camera to have hanging from your butt pocket.
Great review. The sample photos were absolutely stunning bro, good job. the skin tones of the x100 are to die for! i cannot wait to try this thing out!
Wow! Thanks for the sharing! Your photos are really inspiring. Can I ask u where did you buy the strap from? It is very nice!
I too am curious about your Gordy strap. What length is yours? Thanks…
This review is chock full of esoteric hipster douchery.
Hi There,
I really love your review on the x100. Great job! I know everyone is bugging you about the leather strap you have on your camera, well i am pleased to say i am one of them too LOL
It will be much appriciated if you can tell me (us) where you grab those straps of yours?
Thanks a lot!
Aufwiedersehen!

So, then. What is the perfect camera?
