Electronic shutter on the X100s

[micche165]

Hi all guys

 

Michele from Italy here, first topic ever.

 

Anyone like me who's  dreaming a firmware update for the X100S that provides the electronic shutter option?

I really find it useful on other Fuji cameras, the X100T has it.....and I don't want to upgrade only for this. On sunny days f2 is useless unless you want an overexposed picture due to slow mechanical shutter speed.

 

There has also been a rumor about this update during 2014 but nothing happened.

Welcome Michele,

 

Dream update for X100S? Keep on dreaming, not going to happen. If there is then it will be for the X100T. If ever.

Thank you for the welcome.

I agree with you but I despise this imposed obsolecence at least as much as I like the cameras.

I doubt that your X100S will stop working after some "imposed" or pre-planned date. My X100S works just fine, even the X100 Classic is still doing its job. So is my X100T, which sadly is the only EXR II/X-Trans II model that's still waiting for an update of the AF system to match the X-T1, X-E2, X-E2S and X-T10.

Planned obsolescence is something different.
