These are the first two all black X100S available in the USA. They are sold by [shoplink 21342 ebay]top rated eBay reseller kenmorecamera[/shoplink].

There was some buzz in the last days because in Japan you can find the black X100S marked as “limited edition”. But I think it referred to a special box with some extra “original accessory” (black [shoplink 12893]WCL-X100[/shoplink] and more…).

The black X100S sold by kenmorecamera is not marked as “limited edition”, has the same price of the silver one… and is beautiful :-)! So don’t worry, there will be enough for all.

Adobe: improved X-Trans support soon (film simulation support)!

Share

photo adobe_zps025c6281.jpg

Something is moving at Adobe (click here)…. it’s whispered that the company will soon improve the support for the X-Trans RAF files. What I know about it until now is this:

I’ve been told that, with the next update, Adobe Lightroom and Camera Raw will support Fuji’s Film Simulations. So you can finally put the Fuji X-Trans RAF’s in Lightroom and the software will be able to reproduce faithfully the various Film Simulations mode (Provia – Velvia – Astia – ProNeg Hi – ProNeg. Std – B&W Monochrome +Ye+R+G).

It will be compatible with every X-cameras, including the X-T1!

P.S.: But that’s not the only good news I’d like to spread today. Canadian readers who purchase the X-T1 until March 31 will get the vertical grip for free. Check it out.

And a must read in these days:  Rico’s X-T1 first look here!

I don’t know you, but I have the feeling that something big is happening right now. I’ve never seen such a buzz around the launch of a Fuji camera as this time. Even forbes.com and also one of the biggest German newspapers, “die Welt” wrote about the X-T1! And from 43rumors to sonyalpharumors, from mirrorlessrumors to sonyalphalabs… everybody is talking about… and maybe even fear a bit the competition of the X-T1!

For us X-shooters, used to small sale numbers, this is a big surprise… and a sign of hope. We invested in this system, we believed in it and now Fujifilm did an amazing job to create the X-T1, really the camera that “the Nikon DF should have been” (I’ve read this statement on several sites and in the comments).

Just take a look at Rico’s X-T1 first look, and you’ll probably understand why this camera is selling like hot cakes now!

The era of DSLR is over… the time of the X-series has come ;-)!

have a great day,
