Unbelievable
Thats another off my list.

 

[Mr Farno]

Without doubt, thet is one of the worst pics I have ever seen. I was about to pull the trigger and get the x-s1.

Iphone 4s would do a better job than that - SHOCKING !!!!!

This is a joke right? How is this possible with an $800 camera???

Simple - They're Greedy Maggots .....

they decided to market the camera in full knowing that the sensor had hardware issues as proven in the X10 so only greed could account for it . any self-respecting manufacturer would have pulled them while they still had the chance and re-marketed when the sensors were replaced with a non-orbital one ..

heck a DECENT manufacturer would have replaced the damn sensors in existing X10 units ASAP (or promised to when fixed sensors came about) - Sony did this in the millions when their defective sensors were failing in OUT OF WARRANTY cameras ! and not just cameras made by Sony . I'd not trust Fuji one iota after this debacle.

This Neocamera review was posted on 1/27/12, you are probably referring to the older Russian review from the end of last year, and which had similarly catastrophic orb results, so it's easy to mix the two.

I like the pictures I see here!!!

Especialy the pictures from the exhibition!!! Lovely!

And the orb's! I don't mind!!! I don't do noghtshots very often and I am not a pixel peeper, so I even like the nightshots!!!

I think nearly every camera today has some bug's! And there always are people that hype this bug!I only want to shoot nice picture, and the pictures I can see in the russian review are very nice for my eyes!!!

For me more important is the usability in daily use and the picture quality and speed!!

Just my 2 cent

ok you dont mind the orbs. What about the distortion of the leaning buildings?
This camera will make the Leaning Tower of Piza topple over!

I agree. After 11 Fuji digital cameras I have owned, I am disappointed in the attitude company is displaying recently regarding faults in their new products. X10 with orbital sensor can pass as a honest mistake (although unlikely), XS-1 released well after, and with the same fault uncorrected, falls into a "Greedy Maggot" category.

shooting wide requires a bit more thought.....relying on camera processing might not be the best solution.
I can shoot just as 'good' a distortion with a 'better' (aka dslr) combination.

The leaning buildings are not a camera fault. It's what happens when you don't know how to use a wide-angle lens, and don't keep it horizontal.

Good point.
Minus the orbs, I still liked the sample image.
Luckily, software can fix the keystone effect.

 

[Mr Farno]

If that shot was taken with the X10 you would have jumped in rubbished it within 3 threads because you had 4 and they were all rubbish Blah...Blah...Blah.

So now you have the XS-1 you seem to accept it's dodgy IQ (even though it's the same sensor)

I suppose next week when you have sent 3 back you will be on here telling us all what a load of junk it is and hijacking all the XS-1 threads like you did with the X10.

Can't wait.....

Bizarre!

Double bizarre.

Well, as you should know by now, according to Alan's testing, the X-S1 is not exactly a speedy camera.

Paul, its time to put your mouth where your money is and post some night shots with street and pedestrian lighting in them

Its only a matter of time before someone else in the UK posts these shots before you, the camera is freely available now but you still have the momentum, now is the moment.

Surely you have taken the camera out and about at night by now, are you stalling or are you building up some dramatic tension on the forum?

How do you know?
Is iit the same spaculations as earlier?

The "rat" expect everyone to buy, both yells and hails of the X-100......I have never got friends with rats.....:-(

PS! Do you remeber your claims of the "fault" of the X-100 lens....and the fingerprints on your own frontglass on the OVF.....on your own camera?
