well spotted! added to first post.
Yep I noted that price in the first post soon after you mentioned it. I was hoping someone had seen a smaller number with a £ sign already in front of it...
Read on Macduff, as they say, if you're interested!I wanted to take a few minutes to share with the forum that we have secured a production unit from a friend in Japan and will be putting the camera through the paces asap! I'm going to take a little time and compose some initial impressions and then the schedule is to do an X1 vs X100 shootout tomorrow afternoon here in Austin...
Since there are production models popping up here and there does the release seem imminent?
PRESS RELEASE: Press statement following recent earthquake and tsunami in Northern Japan
14 March 2011 — Following the recent earthquake and tsunami in Northern Japan Fujifilm can confirm that its Taiwa-Cho factory, 20 miles from Sendai city, has been affected.
Fortunately, none of the workers at the Taiwa-Cho factory are reported injured but inevitably some damage has occurred to the factory building, causing a temporary halt in production for the FinePix X100. To this end, Fujifilm is expecting a delay to market for the X100.
Fujifilm is currently considering all possible options to minimise the delay and the disappointment for the many consumers who have given the X100 such an incredible reception.
The rest of Fujifilm’s range has been unaffected, due to manufacturing being based outside the region.
I’m sure you will also want to join us in extending our thoughts and condolences to everyone affected by these terrible events in Japan.
Now on a more upbeat note, I have good news. I just received notice from B&H Photo that although they do not have the Fuji X100 in stock, they are accepting pre orders. This is a very good sign for Fuji, for B&H and for those who are looking forward to trying out this camera.
