X20 and X100s impressions and samples + FR-reader interview with Fujifilm at focus on imaging show
1) The Polish site fotopolis posted some samples at different ISO’s. For the X20 samples click here (translated version) and for the X100s samples click here (translated version). On fotopolis you can also read the first impressions of the X100s here (translated version). They say that the X100s is a “very successful evolution of the already very good camera.” Thanks for the link Jakub.
You can also read and see samples at the Polish site optyczne. The X100s impressions here (translated version) and the X20 impressions here (translated version). They seem to be very happy with the X100s (compared to the X100 better speed, focus accuracy, start up time, EVF…). The first impressions of the X20 are “positive”.
2) FR-reader Adam made an interview with Fujifilm at the focus on imaging show (UK). At the beginning of the video the Fuji-guy demonstrates Digital Split Image focusing, and Focus Peaking on the new X100s, and then he answers a few questions about the possibility of silver XF lenses, release dates, and future firmware updates for the X-Pro1 for auto ISO and Focus Peaking… to what concerns the firmware updates the Fuji employee just said “I’m not so sure, I haven’t heard anything about it yet“.
He also takes a closer look at the upcoming lenses. Many thanks Adam.

Thanks, I later spoke to another rep that said “the company prefers the high quality black finish for its lenses and the X-E1 is only an interchangeable top plate to a completely alternative manufacturing process, as would be for the lens”

I’m really afraid that we’ll get the same laggy manual focus experience as with 35mm on new 23mm and 56mm lens. =((
