– 4-way controller
– Function buttons can be customized 7
– The number of possible shots increased to 700 sheets by OVF power save function

Looks like something from the museum. This is not going to be a success.
Are you bent? The x100 and x100s set new standards for mirrorless, aps-c cameras with a fixed lens. The design is a throwback that has this far been copied by every other manufacturer. Check your info because you couldn’t be more wrong. People will be lining up to hand over their old x100 for this camera smiling ear to ear.
I wouldn’t bet on that, even if they buy this new camera I’m convinced a lot of X100 owners will keep it.
That “old” sensor still is attractive enough to justify it.
They may, but I was mostly referring to the prior comment on how this new iteration wouldn’t sell because of the retro design and how the op was very mistaken.
they said the same about the Beatles
I fear that the “solving parallax problem” bit about the hybrid viewfinder is just another way of reminding potential buyers of the advantages of using an EVF over OVF (yeah, like that needs to be reminded of. Most users these days prefer EVFs anyway), and nothing new is added to the OVF side of things… I’ve thought long and hard about all kinds of sci-fi solutions to non-TTL OVF parallax problems, like a flexible tilt-shift like mechanism etc, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it can’t be done. Just like that fabled 10-100000000mm constant f/0.7 pancake zoom lens that every once in a while pop up here in the comment sections – it can’t be done.
That said, I’m eagerly waiting to be gobsmakced and I’ll happily eat my own words if the OVF does indeed solve the parallax problem.
How is this much of an improvement over the 100S? Evolutionary I guess. I was close to picking up a 100S but waited for this. Really wanted a tilting screen. Lets see what the price is
After about a week of intense research I purchased this camera today from Best Buy
The silver model, price before tax 1,126.99. The black version is slightly more, but my primary consideration was the retro look, wanting it to look like a traditional film rangefinder. Sometime in the future I might consider an Xpro1, but the Lens choices are too difficult for me to make right now. The new camera will be going on vacation with me to Canada in a few weeks. I was concerned about the fixed 35mm equivalent lens, but when I found that it will do in camera panoramas I was sold. For someone who shoots wildlife, or sports this is clearly not the camera for you. I think it will do fine for people photography since you won’t be pointing a big lens in someone’s face. I will likely buy a dedicated IPad to store/view my photos on.
I have a Nikon D3 with a 24-70, and will probably keep it to use for the occasional friend/relatives wedding, but honestly it’s just not any fun take out on a random walk.
