Speaking of the Debil! Playing the Devil's advocate here. When I first saw this X100, I thought what a great camera. Then I thought what would folks here say about it if it said Pentax on the camera instead of Fuji. There seems to have been so much negativity here recently along with disappointment expressed by members with Pentax releases.
Personally, I would guess if this was a Pentax release it would be scourged ~6 page thread.
+too expensive ('what was Pentax thinking? OMG $1,000USD!, etc.)
+fixed lens ('what was Pentax thinking? OMG $1,000USD for a fixed lens)
+too small
+too big
+not FF (do I really need to elaborate on this one?
)
+too much a niche (and XYZ camera is so much better for less than OMG $1,000 USD)
I say this all in jest. I think the camera looks fantastic...but you know I am right that this is what would be said here if the camera was the New Pentax Kx-1 retro.
