aiko reacted to RogerB in X100T Firmware Update
Interesting on how the door swings :-).. I still have my X100 and the firmware updates gave me a new/usable camera in a much broader usage space. I'm very please with Fuji's response to the X100 (but had to weather SAB).
Now I'm considering an update and have a X100T sitting in a popular retailer's outbox but I've decided to wait to see if Fuji will continue to support the X100T as they have their other lines. It sounds to me like they are moving the X100T to the back burner by delaying any firmware updates. To me the AF can't be good enough and that includes face detection, as there are others who use this camera. For me, I would like the focus peaking, but I understand that the improved EVF refresh rate and resolution has made the peaking more difficult to observe (in the EVF).
'll be watching to see whether Fuji's decisions are to keep the X100 series as part of the lineup or if this is the cycle where they will move on from the niche entry.
So the rumor of a firmware update can be the harbinger of longevity in the family or the lack of, an invitation to wait and see.

aiko got a reaction from suedezu in X100S FW updates.
It would be great if Fuji release another X100S FW update
I also bought mine with the expectation of the continued improvements (Kaizen) that the X100 receive - even after the X100s was out... I rly thought it would be the same for the "s".
If there where another update I would like:
Better autofocus Spot metering coupled on the AF-area Fast change of AF- area with the back buttons -

Not a $1000+ camera (regardless if its got a fixed lense or not)! All the $200-300 cameras out there, sure, those are consumable. I understand what you mean though, but its sad if camera makers view what I would consider a pro-level camera consumable. Not all of us are professionals and can afford to buy new cameras every couple years. I own an X100T, and that cost me a significant amount of my income, so I intend to make it last as long as I possibly can!
Fair enough, and I understand the business decisions that might drive that, but I would hope Fuji would maintain their history of listening to the voice of the users and continually updating the functionality of their products based on that feedback.
I look at it this way: I bought a new car and paid for the GPS to be built it. My mistake, should have gone with a 3rd party GPS, but I wanted the integration and convenience. It sucked. The manufacturer built the GPS and immediately stopped releasing firmware updates for it to focus on next year's model. I feel like I have been abandoned with no hope for any improvement without shelling out more money (read: won't ever support the company again).
Granted we're talking about a camera maker that makes already awesome products that need little improvement. However, I would rather Fuji stop releasing new models (and I don't mean evolutions of existing models like X100 to S to T), and re-route those resources back into focusing on the already awesome family of cameras they make. Things like releasing hardware evolutions of existing cameras (X100, S, T, etc), as well as releasing firmware evolutions for existing products. I don't think they need to keep major firmware upgrades coming for many years to come, but I feel like we should be able to reasonably expect one major firmware upgrade in a camera's future before giving up on it. I own an X100T, but the new autofocus stuff that the XT-1 is getting is really making me jealous. I know that functionality could be ported over to other models, and I hope that it eventually does. This is why I buy Fuji. I won't buy other manufacturer's cameras, because the vast majority of them adopt the philosophy of releasing a camera, and that is all you get. Want an upgrade or new features? Pay us more $$$. Fuji has, so far, allowed us to get more mileage from our cameras by releasing significant features via firmware. This type of support creates serious customer loyalty, so it won't hurt their sales b/c I hold off on buying the newest model for a couple more years, and just ride out a new firmware upgrade till then. Honestly, I'd be fine if they had to charge a reasonable amount for those major firmware upgrades. I mean free is always best, but NO firmware upgrades at all is way worse.
Having said all this, I love Fuji, my next camera will be Fuji, my X100T is perfectly adequate to me as is. I really do hope you X100S users get the major firmware upgrade you all deserve.

It's a bad decision.
The x100s is my first Fuji camera and probably the last if Fuji refuses to provide firmware updates to "boost" sales of their newer camera.
I bought my x100s knowing that Fuji is the only company providing relevant updates to their camera lineup.
