Fuji X100 in stock at B&H but for how long?

<p>This is the first time I've seen this camera in stock at B&H for a long time. It will probably sell out by the end of the day. I had it for a few weeks and enjoyed it (bought it used on ebay and resold it), but overall I decided it was too expensive and just not my ideal camera, no zoom, etc.<br>

Anyone buy one and still enjoy it? I found the in-camera black and white quality to be outstanding.</p>

<p>Dave, I don't have one yet, but I'm thinking of selling some body part to buy one<g>. The results I've seen are phenomenal, and my Leica friends aren't even looking back. They love it. I would say that I would have sold my car already if it had an interchangeable M mount and slightly larger sensor. But alas, I think my next camera is going to be a D800.</p>

<p>Hang on Michael, the scuttlebutt is the new interchangeable lens Fuji is coming this year. I'm already putting stuff on eBay to get a war chest together. It will be my next camera...if I don't buy a Canon 5D MkIII or Sony NEX 7 instead :o) This will be a wonderful year for photographic tools! I also predict that when the new Fuji does arrive, the price drop on the X100 will be precipitous. You may only need a finger instead of your whole right arm.</p>

 

<p>Louis, I hear it won't be an M mount though. Maybe an adapter? Take a swag at the cost? $1699?</p>

<p>Not sure. Many of the mirrorless cameras accept adapters, it's part of their popularity. It will certainly be a sway point to us with fine older lenses. It's one of the reason I'm eyeballing the NEX 7. I got to play with one last month and was stunned by it's build quality, light weight and picture quality. These days I'm leaning toward a lighter, more compact camera anyway. I've also shot with the Fuji X100 and, like you, would have opened my wallet at once save for a fixed lens camera at that price point. Fuji is listening and if their offering does offer not only interchangeable lenses but adaptability to my old lenses, they may win my $$$. Don't know what they will cost but I do know that this will be an exciting year of new camera/technology introductions from many of the major companies. I am waiting till the dust settles at bit to see the best one for me. But almost certainly, I will be buying a new personal camera sometime this year.<br>

In my studio, I use Nikon gear so when the new D800 comes out I will make that long overdue upgrade automatically without batting an eye.</p>
