X100 - No black body?

[ChrisN]

Let's face it, this is a retro style camera primarily for the Japanese market, so that market's preferences will dictate what's made.

I'd like to seee it available in both chrome and black, but I want it with pressed brass top and bottom plates, so that when the chrome or black paint wears, we can have a lovely brassed appearance. Maybe Fuji can do a "Jim Marshall Special".

I'm not so sure this is the typical prototype... I mean they have sites up, documentation about it, videos, etc. I think it is close to a final design ...

Agreed. They've even posted MTF plots for the lens. Many mfr's don't even do that for released cameras.

From evidences so far seen, you know: demo models in Photokina, press releases, optical diagrams for O/EVF, MTF curves, web site with updating, etc. etc.; if the camera is really just a development announcement, I wish other would have done half as well.

It would be silly for them not to capitalize on the excitement they have generated. This will be made and will be made in its current form basically.

I'll be more encouraged to buy one if it comes in black.

That can be arranged.
