  1. I really want a nice shutter click. I miss that on my X100T. The Leica I have to wait about 8 weeks for sounds amazing (M262) to me but I'd like something with a more solid click sometimes. I can get the shots I want out of almost any camera once I learn it, so for the me enjoyment of use is more important than anything else. And the sound makes or breaks that. The X100T is a fantastic little camera, and it's great for times when I need to be silent, but otherwise I want that noise. I'd love a wind on lever too, may get an RD1s if I ever see one.
  2. More DR would be nice. I like grain personally, I prefer the look of film but can no longer be arsed with all the work required,
  3. Just hit AF-L and release it, it focusses. Or did I get that wrong? I manual focus so dunno.
  4. If that was for me, the tilt screen is of no concern to me. It would never be moved. But also I'd know it was there.
  5. I shoot manual. Manual focus, manual exposure. I never use anything other than single shot. The only button I use on my X100T is the on/off switch. Otherwise it's set up and that's that. I never use film modes either. I also never crop, and only adjust exposure and sharpness in Lightroom if needed. And I do B&W conversions there also. OK, so the buttons I can live with. It's just not buttons laid out cheaply. The part where we grip the camera with the most pressure is where they've decided to place most of the buttons. Those buttons don't have palm rejection technology, they are just buttons. This is bad design. My personal opinion about this, and it's jut mine and I'm happy with people telling me I'm being an idiot, is that Fuji have become confused over the product they are delivering. This is not a general consumer camera aimed at people who'd spend £500 on a dirt cheap DSLR who want P mode and all those other modes I forgot. Like a little picture of some hills of a flower on a dial. The X range started with a very honest and concise understanding of why it existed, and I feel that vision has been lost to the marketing and engineering departments who need a: more things to talk about and b: more things to talk about. It's not a better product because Fuji really give a shit about making it a better product. They've commoditised it beyond the point where the original philosophy can keep up. So that's why I'm sad. And it's why I bought the M262, because it does one thing really well. I'd have bought the M60 but didn't have £12k. One day though, one day I will.
  6. Agreed. Was pissed though at this, I really wanted one. Just dropped the cash on the M262, wanted that more. Been saving for 2 years and it's Christmas.
  7. Hope that is fake. It looks real. Sadly. I'm guessing they stick buttons up their nose and sneeze, and that's the design done. Leica will get my cash.
  8. Firstly, let me clarify the button statements. The primary dials obviously need to be physical dials. That's a given. And we need some buttons, for sure. But Fuji do love to use many buttons when quite frankly, they aren't all required. Look at the back of an M9 or any other Leica M. The X series was all about the purity of photography, that's why we bought into it. Personally I'd love an X-Pro2 with shutter and ISO dials, aperture on the lens, and that's it. I don't need the screen either, I never use it. Give me a format button in the card bay. Done. On the new sketches I note the words 'black version'. Do we think they'll be a silver version of the Pro 2? That would be nice.
  9. Hmm. It looks identical, but with more bits to play with. Which I guess makes perfect sense when you look at how long they have kept the X100. If it's not broke, just add more horsepower. I just really wish somebody would have the balls to release a camera without all these buttons on.
  10. I'm an X100T owner and have been using the X100 line since it was first released. But I'm keen to look at a platform that isn't a DSLR but does allow me to try out different lenses. I always shoot manual everything so losing AF doesn't bother me. I'm torn between laying out £5k on the new Leica M or waiting to see what Fuji do. It's only a few weeks, so I'll wait obviously, and the cost difference should be huge. You know the thing I really miss is the shutter sound. I like the look of APS-X, and 24MP would be great if they could solve the issues many pixels in a small space give. I like the Fuji colours. Really don't know where to go.
