"Artistic" Filters = Oxymoron

Yes. That's correct. Just to be clear, my disappointment is only about the inclusion of these gimmicky filters. The X100 should above such nonsense.

I think the rest of the camera is a solid update.

+1. This sounds like a wonderful update to an already classic camera--evolutionary, not revolutionary, and, at least on paper, it's the update the X100 deserves.

I find the oxymoronic "artistic filters" a big deal only in the sense that they are so antithetical to the photographic philosophy that is the X100's raison d'etre. How this made it into the feature set, I'll never understand, and just because you can ignore the use of these filters doesn't justify their inclusion. I could ignore Scene Modes, too.
