Dear God,
I don’t care if I’m gonna lose all my hair next year. I don’t care if I’m gonna get any fatter. I don’t care if my other cameras are gonna hate me. I don’t care if my job sucks. I don’t care if Mondays are still gonna be blue. I don’t care if the price of beer increases. I don’t care if they stop producing potato chips. I don’t care if iPhones can print money. I don’t care if I come back as a cow in my next life. I don’t care. I don’t care.
But I want this …
Fujifilm has announced the X100, a large-sensor compact camera aimed at professional and enthusiast photographers. Based around a 12Mp APS-C CMOS sensor, Fuji EXR processor and 23mm F2 Fujinon lens (equivalent to a 35mm semi-wideangle), the classically-styled camera features traditional analogue controls for shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation. Of particular note is the new ‘hybrid’ viewfinder system which allows the user to switch between optical and electronic viewfinders and project detailed shooting information into the OVF. The spec is rounded off by 720p HD movie recording, a 460k dot 2.8″ LCD, flash hot shoe, and magnesium alloy top and base-plate castings. The camera will be available from early 2011.
