We called the hot-and-almost-here Fujifilm X100 Leica-like, but if you didn't think use, examine these photos from Flickr user Nokton. They uncover the typical Leica M3 and the new Fujifilm hybrid rangefinder together, and they could have been distant at birth.
Well, not considerably at birth: the M3 was innate back in 1954, whilst the X100 isn't even shut to its initial birthday. But it's coherent that, as Nokton says, the new camera has a few Leica DNA. In fact, we had to twice check the initial time we saw the corresponding shot to see that was which.
Under his actual name of Pieter Franken, Nokton has moreover reviewed the X100, and he pronounces it as good, with high ISO opening at the turn of the Nikon D700, a good, swift lens and a great viewfinder (this is arguably the principal indicate of the camera, with its present switch between visual and electronic modes).
It moreover has, rather amusingly, a sufficient quieter shiver than the stream Leica M9. Up until the Leica proposed putting steel shutters in to its M-series cameras, they were well known as the quietest cameras around.
What the X100 isn't is a loyal rangefinder. To manually concentration you will use the electronic viewfinder and have it enlarge a division of the picture for you. This is slower than using a actual rangefinder, and Pieter says that the concentration ring on the lens is moreover rather slow, with a lot of transformation compulsory to change the concentration a tiny amount.
A shame, but usually to be expected. After all, the Leica M9 expenses as sufficient as a tiny car, since the X100 is a comparatively in accord with $1,200. And we still can't wait for to try one.
