Could be a SONY RX1 killer! Together with a wide and a tele converter à la X100F it could be the perfect traveller and streetfotographer tool! We'll see what it is all about when it is out!
All in all a disapointment! Not at all what I expected. A clear downgrading! No weathersealing, miserable batterylife, a typical system-entry-camera. I have no idea to what extend Panasonic does reshuffle its cameralines but It will be most probably a longer process. I'm also sure they dumped the idea to develop the LX 100 further!
Price is high, but build quality too. For whom is the camera meant? For people who don't want to carry tonnes of lenses with them and still need to cover a long range and don't intend to buy every year the newest. Travel, wildlife, all purpose, family etc. I use a FZ 1000 and a X100T and don't need anything else for the time beeing.
The optic is miserable, one of the worst ever produced with the label Leica. Then why a 16 MP sensor which delivers only 12MP? I think the LX 100 will never have a successor. Since 2 years people are waiting for a replacement (LX200) but nothing comes! This line is dead! Sony is the only one which managed to pack in a small body what is needed. But also there we have issues like overheating and very short batterylife. The LX 100 is only something for Vloggers.
It is meant as a marketing hoax! A bad one which will hurt the community there. The fotoban will be lifted quick because it violates our constitution and laws.
The new X100F is a step in the right direction, but I miss 5 axis stabilisation, weather sealing and 4K at least on the same level as the X-T2. I keep my X100T and wait what comes after the X100F resp. what Panasonic offers hopefully once with a much improved LX200 (should have much of the FZ2000).
As a traveller, hiker/sailor I have a Fujifilm X-100T and use it evey day. But it is true 16 MP are at at lower end. Hope the new X-100? will get the X-pro2 sensor with 24MP and will be weathersealed. I also have the Panasonic FZ1000 and should choose the LX 200 if ever available with 20+MP, beeing weathersealed and because of the sumilux lens and it's small size and video capabilities!
Any news about the crazy mirror flapping issue with the K3?
