The original 56mmf1.2 is almost affordable for me, but I need to save up. The APD version of the lens is not.

I don't get what the problem is with a company coming out with new lenses. Myabe FUJI should have just put the APD on a shelf for two years before making it available ?

I think the problem is that Fuji so far has published a roadmap of lenses so people can plan their purchases.

Sounds like a modest upgrade. I am sure some features would be considered by some as really worth it and not so much by others. Having had an X100s I see little that would enthuse me to buy one over the X100s but that's me.

I guess the 24mp APSc sensor must be restricted to a year after Sony's release in the A6000 so don't expect to see that in an XPro 2 until the 1 year anniversary of the A6000.

I'm liking the Wifi feature (love it on my EP5), if the AF is better than the S then that's a huge plus, tying the spot auto exposure mode to the selected AF point is great, the configurable buttons are a major upgrade to me, ditto with the customization of the Q menu.

I really hope Fuji comes out with a firmware upgrade to allow X100s the do the latter 2 + classic chrome. If they can somehow improve AF then all the better, ditto with the spot metering functionality.

I really hate having to click up to then click in whichever direction to move the AF button. So frustrating.
 
Still happy with the x100 here, but I'd hoped Fuji would finally, in generation three, add some proper buttons. The old ones were crap, but these look exactly like those cheap recessed things that the X-T1 was often criticised for already.

My X-Pro has perfectly professional buttons that even adults can use. I don't understand what drove them to use these things again.
 
Road maps are just goals, something that shouldn't be a limiting factor.
 
I've been shooting with the original X100 since it was first released. After FW upgrades it's become my most used everyday camera. Since the beginning there are a few things I wished it could do, and it seems like Fuji has addressed most of them with this latest model. I was on the fence with the X100s. My thinking was, "if I could MF while using the OVF, was a little faster, and had face detection, I'd be sold on it. The X100T has all of those and more. It may be a minor upgrade from the X100s, but for those of us who are still shooting with an X100, the X100T may well be upgrade we've been waiting for.

I know I'll be picking one up.

I hope you are not shooting raw and using Lightroom ;-)
 
I am OK with Fuji sticking with the 16MP sensor but I would have liked Fuji to improve the lens wide open, even if it came at the expense of increasing the size a little. As it is, there are no improvements to image quality, only usability. I do like that the X100 line finally has face detection, so you can hand off your phone and not get a totally out of focus shot.
 
In addition to 24MP and weather-sealing, I think it would have been good for the new model to have included some form of IS.
 
Include IS ? Why - did they take it out ?
 
None of the Fuji bodies have IS, only the zooms do.
 
So I have this idiot light in my viewfinder indicating movement ?

On a 23mm fixed lens? Even us old timers can hold steady at that focal.

IS is surprisingly effective. On my Oly E-M5, with the 12mm prime, I've shot sharp images at 1/4 and even 1/2 sec. Without, I could manage maybe 1/15 sec.

The IS in the 18-135 is claimed to be at least as effective as Oly's.

I'm not suggesting IS is not effective at any focal length with very slow shutters. I'm saying on a camera with a fixed wide lens, its asking a bit much to include IS. Even if it costs $5, that's a lot of money spent by a lot of users that don't need it for 99.9% of their shots.
 
I looked it up. The idiot is me :)

It was the slow shutter speed indicating potential blur at that speed. So many lights and so few brain cells left to learn them all

I would argue that IS, which is particularly good for low light shots, is far more useful to average users than PIP manual focusing aids or Wifi remote control.

Ha ha ha! I have an XP1 and yeah, Lightroom kinda blows for processing Fuji RAW files.

I'm finding Irident Raw Developer for Mac does an exceptional job on detail. I use it together with Lightroom.

A good point was made by another poster. If one using the original X100 and did not move to the X100 s then the T is one heck of an upgrade. I am still going to wait for the xpro2 if such a beast will exist. Also use xe1 and 2.
