10 months ago |The world has started the full frame migration already, i.e. Sony RX-1, Nikon d600, Canon 6D, Sony a99. Fuji here still playing around with this fashion toy !
The market is ready for you full frame X-200 ! Now, let’s get real, stop playing with fashion toys.

10 months ago |The online videos I have seen make starting this thing look a right PITA. I can see plenty of user frustration having to use two hands and turn, pull, turn just to take a photo then reverse the operation to put the camera away. This camera may become the new missed shot king.
It’s a nice looking camera and you have to give Fuji credit for trying different approaches but you just have to wonder how far they think these ideas through before they release them. It seems that every X series so far has been an “almost but not quite” camera.
