What the hell is the point of a 27mm 2.8 pancake??? you have a 23mm and a 35mm the 27mm just seems like a pointless waste of time. The 55-200 looks interesting although and would really like to...

How about they just finish the XP1 first ?? still missing a number of easily implementable features.

Perhaps Fuji and other Japanese firms could smarten up and catch up with modern tech and hire some Apple engineers, designers, programmers, marketers.

Decide to use a mechanical cable release over an electronic one? Has anyone had any luck using the X pro & X100 for timelapse? Doing my head in trying to figure out how to make it work.

Actually glad you've got the smarts, be because you've nailed a very key point I was aiming at.

And this is why sadly the best hardware manufactuers in the world are also heading down a free fall. Really sad to see the signs for the big players like Sony, Sharp & Panasonic not looking positive

Lol - you used Silkypix yet? There's a movie called "white men can't jump" well "Japanese can't write software"

I'm just bumping this as I'm curious how you have gone with it?   I still cannot fathom why on Earth Fuji used a mechanical shutter cable system ?

I can see where you're coming from here and you're right in many respects, although I would digress and liken the camera more to an iphone than a mac book. I just made a post before as who does...

The processor can handle 1080p, should be more than powerful enough, seems fairly trivial requirements hardware wise. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=56246.0 Just depends...

Multiple threads about firmware udpates on the XP1, XE1 & X100 for "missing" features that can easily be implemented by software, yet there is nothing more than deafening silence from Fuji on these...

is there any information released by fuji discussing thsir product life cycle?

Yeah impressive, my iphone can do more shallow depth of field.

Seriously m43 is such a pointless system

It's not even a year old and it's supposed to be a "Pro" camera. Canon released the 7D in 2009 and continues to STILL release firmware updates and improvements, a nearly 4 year old camera. So...

My point exactly!Japan had the tech crown in the 80s but has gradually fallen from relevance compared to the named, apple, lg and some Chinese firms etc etc.the problem is they are still rooted In...

are there any japanese manufacturers showing a positive result for once??on the other hand samsung is growing and eclipsing...

Perhaps the fuji engineers believe that the hardware can't support it?Or their software team is too inexperienced to write better firmware.in line with the guiding japanese principles of monozukuri...

They only half listenand don't give any reasons or explanations for omissions.whereas an American company like apple at least communicates the reason why things flash isn't supported, japanese...

Japanese firms rarely if ever listen or care.youre part of the western market and they don't really care what westerners want.but they are happy to release a new hardware model with all of those...

There's an almost total lack of decent western competition.Leica seems do be doing ok....
