  1. With all my respect, I can not agree with your statement about "older" camera. http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n140826_02.html This is Fuji's press release about "new “Classic Chrome” Film Simulation mode that's perfect for documentary photography". Yes, it clearly states that CC "will be phased in to models starting with the X30", and definately not X100S. BUT!! It's an august 26th, 2014. Less than a year and a half after X100S hit the shelves. I agree that we live in fast changing world, but not SO damn fast! )) Even smartphone manufacturers (at least leading brands) support their products for longer, improving performance and adding new software features. In 2012-2013 Fuji set a very high standards and by doing so raised some serious expectations from its loyal customers. I remember many discussions in september, 2104 about possible firmware updates. It was a MAJOR disappointment for X100S owners to know that there will be no such updates ever. Especially when we all knew that such software already exists (beta or not). I think I understand your point. As a working professional you might want to buy best tech available with latest upgrades. And maybe write a new book ))) But for me as an enthusiast the X100T is the same graphic engine packed in a slightly new housing with mostly useless (for me!) features (like one-third stop aperture ring). And X100S is perfectly usable, but it need some upgrades to stay up to date. On the bright side, today I received my first lens for the future X-T10 system, more on the way ))) So life continues no matter what )))
  2. That's a good point! But I'd like to have the same color profiles in all my Fuji cameras. And maybe larger (less compressed) jpegs - the same as in my future X-T10. It makes sense to have the same image standards in all devices (much easier post-processing, smoother workflow, easy to replace, etc.).
  3. Well, citral, if you don't like something about Fuji or it's "perverted" customers, you are free to go, don't you?
  4. Not interested. Wanna more shiny little toys? Go buy Olympus. Or Sony. Or something. Who needs EVF on X100...? What I really want is reassignable buttons on my ol' trusted X100S I travelled the world with. And maybe little faster AF (for my little kids). And YES, oh-so-highly-praised Classic Chrome. Because it's so freaking authentically X100S-ish. I think that X100S is perfectly "current" model because of the same sensor, processor and IQ as on the X100T. The core is the same, the image is the same and you know what? THIS is really important. This is what makes Fuji a Fuji. BTW, I preordered X-T10 with a couple of lens but I don't plan to sell X100S yet. There is some sort of emotional connection I guess. Y'know, the places we travelled, the people we shoot met I will not call it "love" but X100S surely an extraordinary product and I feel it still has unreleased potential. Well, maybe upgrading X100S is bad for business. I don't know. And nobody knows for sure. But what I know is that Fuji succeeded in building the entire army of "cult-o'-Fuji" followers. The remarkable achievment only a few global companies capable of. But "loyalty" is not about tech specs, prices and figures. It's all about emotions. Maybe there is no logical explanation to upgrade X100S after release of X100T. But it's just right to do so. To make an already great product even better. To make it classic.
