Duncan_Andison Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Anyone tempted by this new incarnation of the X100. I am. Yes, it would be nice but I'm going to wait until the price starts coming down or pickup a X100s. Can't justify buying a new one at the moment as I have just had a juggle around with my X gear. Sold the X-Pro1, 14mm & 18-135 and now have a 2nd X-T1 with the 10-24mm. I wasn't really happy with the quality of the 18-135 (my version anyway) so rather than gathering dust, moved it on. I'll go to using the water proof cover for the lens if it's wet. The 10-24 appears to be very, very good! For me the X100s/t would be for high speed flash sync, silent operation so either version would do I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I won't be buying the X100T as the X-T1 goes in a small bag and I need to invest elsewhere. Like Duncan I will be rationalising my Fuji X outfit. I will probably get rid of my X-E1, 18-55 and 55-200 and just stick with my X-T1, 18-135 (passes QC ok, need to do a final evaluation though) and 10-24 as my travel, go anywhere kit. I am getting frustrated with the Fuji's AF speed now I am shooting more news; I have missed a few shots because of it. I might add a used 27mm pancake to slim it down for when I might have used a X100/S/T. I will be revisiting Canon APS-C dslr with the loan of a 7D2 in November. I need a significantly lighter news/sport outfit than my 1Ds3 so that I can continue to carry a laptop. So that might well be where any monies for equipment will go.

DDoug Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I’d be more tempted if it used an NP-W126 battery instead of the NP-95. I already carry a (Wasabi) charger and four batteries, and to put an X100S or T in the bag would mean including a second charger/battery set. As Martin said, the 27mm looks like a good choice when something small is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting Martin AF speed does seem to be an issue for some subjects & conditions with Fuji. I am hovering on a decision regarding an X-T1 partly because of this. I have a high opinion of the 18-55 and it lives on one of my x-bodies but although sharp have found the 55-200 very slow and was thinking of selling it. I return to my Nikon gear for "longer" and AF speed. Fuji will get there I'm sure but they are not there yet.I have the 27mm pancake but find I hardly ever use it......

Ed Endicott Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I have the X100S. I carry it around quite a bit and have quite a few images in my port form it. I'm not sure it's much of an upgrade. What I am more eager to see is a firmware update for Classic Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Ed but it looks good if you don't have an X100 series . it's another incremental upgrade. Fuji seem to be doing a lot with firmware upgrades. If I understand it correctly the X-T1 for instance will be upgraded via firmware to the "new" X-T1 Graphite later this year. The graphite being mainly a cosmetic exercise.

Ed Endicott Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Nice - I had not heard of the update due out in December. I agree a jump into the X100T would be a joy to experience (it was when I jumped into the X100S). The XT-1 with Classic Chrome, and an updated auto focus area controller interface with the four buttons in the back will be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
