Fujifilm FinePix X100 unboxed
We've lovingly unwrapped Fujifilm's retro snapper...
We haven’t been so excited about a camera in a long, long time. And now we have our very own Fujifilm FinePix X100 to unbox and lovingly caress…
Satin sheets are a bit too Peter Stringfellow for our liking, but at least they’re keeping the X100 nice and safe.
Er, yep, it’s all in there. Shame the lens hood and leather ever-ready case are optional extras. No one should buy this camera without them.
The lens cap is of the old-fashioned push-on variety. Fujifilm has got the feel of it just right, with the same felt-lined feel and pressed-metal build of 1950s Leica caps.
No printed logos here – that’s proper paint-filled etched lettering. And notice the threaded cable release socket. Well retro.
This is where it all gets modern. A 2.8-inch LCD dominates the back, surrounded by the usual controls and a jog dial at top right.
A really nice touch is that switching the hybrid viewfinder between optical and digital is done using a control that looks like an old self-timer lever.
Expect a full review in the very near future.
